Class Will We the class of 61 do hereby declare this our last will and testament. To the Juniors: We will our money-making abilities to help them pay their debts. To the Sophomores: We will our work-weary fingers, racked brains and our midnight hours of studying, who are going to need them. To the Freshmen, who have a long-hard road ahead of them: We will our ability to graduate. I, Darrell Hensleigh, will all my hustling ability to Gary Uthaug in hopes he retains at least some of it. I, Patty O'Connor, will my Bus Route to Rubie Euell who seems to like to travel the Jordan STREETS almost as much as I do. I, Marvin Hafla, will my bald tires to Rubie Euell who's tires look even worse than mine do. I, Ronnie Schmidt, will my ability to get along with teachers to Ed Olson who is having a little trouble along that line. I, Jack Shawver, will my headaches in my four years of high school to Larry Hellyer so that he may enjoy it as much as I have. I,-Mary Mahoney, will my marvelous ability not to chase boys to any girl who wants to live peacefully. I, Ed Ady, will my curly hair to Glenn Hafla so that he wouldn't have to spend so much time combing his when he goes to see Marlys Schwindt. I, Nora Lou Ryan, will my natural curly hair to the girls at the dorm so they wouldn’t have to stay up after hours fixing theirs. I, Margaret Ross, will my supersonic driving to Mardrie Olson. I, Patty Strandberg, will my sister Linnea to Rosemary Hensleigh who seems to get along with her better than I do.

Class History September 1, 1949, was a busy day for Mrs. Patterson when 20 bashful first graders walked into her classroom with their parents to enroll. They were Doug Gragam, David Braun, Darrell Hensleigh, Ralph Huseby, Ray Rath, Robert Rit- ter, Delbert Rogge, Ronald Schmidt, Keith Spracklin, Jarold Vollmer, Anita Hinther, Karen Foster, Barbara Pangbum, Agnes Bollinger, Gloria Sturtz, Patty O'Connor, Patricia Pfeifer, Della Rogge, Kathleen Schoonover, and Delpha Brown. The years slid by very rapidly and when we finally graduated from the eighth grade there were 22 of us including: Ray Rath, Ron Schmidt, Barbara Pangbum, Anita Hinther, Patty O’Connor, Karen Foster, Delores Bollinger, Bob Beard, Keith Spracklin, Stewart Griffeth, Darrell Hensleigh, Rosemary Gibson, Nora Lou Ryan, John FitzGerald, Bob Hageman, James Pangbum, Hirth Gagnon, Linda Hinther, Margaret Schlenker, Jack Brazil, Frank Nelson, and Delpha Brown. In the fall of 1957, we joined the country freshmen and were initiated into our high-school years. High-school was a new adventure for all of us, but we soon mixed in with our upperclassmen, and became involved in high-school activities which caused time to go even more rapidly than before. As Freshmen, Mr. Mhyre was our class sponsor and we sold magazine subscriptions to get us started on the road to prosperity. Soon we were juniors. We realized that our treasury was still rather deflated, and we set to work on our play to make money for the Junior-Senior Prom. With Mrs. Rich as our director, our play Down to Earth, was a huge success. We dived into our prom routine without a doubt in our minds but what it would be by far the most elegant prom ever to be held in Jordan. We chose an Oriental theme and different, and even a little exciting to hear Chinese bells tingling, and to see pretty Japanese lanterns swinging gracefully in the air above our head. At the beginning of our last year together we chose our class colors which are ice-blue and silver, our class motto: It takes a few clouds to make a beautiful sunset, and our class flower which is the yellow rose. Shortly after school started we began our second class play with Mr. Kearns as director. This play was equally successful as our first, and also added much to our treasury making us feel might- ier than ever. Time flew by and of course with basketball games, football games, athletic associations, music festivals, the tournament, class night, the sneak, baccalau- reate, and then of course, the time we had been waiting for--commencement. It wasn’t nearly such a happy event as we had all predicted it would be, and there were many tear-filled eyes as we started the last high-school activity we would be a part of. Of the 20 that entered the first grade 12 years before, only 5 remained to- gether all through grade school and high-school. They were: Ray Rath, Ron Sch- midt, Darrell Hensleigh, Anita Hinther, and Delpha Brown. We gained a few students who are still with us. They are Pat Strandberg, who joined us as a sophomore, and Kevin Winter who entered G.C.H.S. as a junior. -Delpha Brown- 23
