The teacher of this new class. Miss Lee, greeted these anxious but wondering boys and girls of this new class. Among those present were Charles Bethel, Roger Clark, Richard Crysler, Gary Jansma, Norman Lux, James Maguire, Robert Reinke, Darrel Sampson, Darrel Strampe, Howard Strayer, Roger Weber, Jolene Boetel, Linda Coatsworth, Jolene Fahlenkamp, Sharon LeMay, Vicky Lester, Karen Liedtke, Judith Mundt, Karen Peters, Judy Riedemann, Nancy Smith, Pauline Uhe, Janet Zinn, Glen Kramme, and Steven Bethel. Those that left in the same year were Jim Maguire and Darrel Strampe. After three short months of vacation, twenty-six eager and excited children started first grade. We had our own desks and no more rest periods of lying on the floor on our little rugs. Our new teacher was Miss Danials. This year those who left were Sandra Muilenburg, Karen Peters, Steven Bethel, and Roger Clark. We started second grade with 23 children. Our new teacher. Miss Lucas, greeted us as we happily entered our classes again. We gained Judy Heuer as the only new classmate. We entered our third year with 27 young ladies and gentlemen and our teach- er was Miss Wilson. We gained four new classmates this year. They were Sheryl Moel- ler, Irene Heuer, Pat Fanning, and Jim Maguire. We lost Judy Heuer. Time seems to be flying. Here we are in the fourth grade already. Our new teacher’s name is Miss Kosters. We had the pleasure of having Lenie Buddingh, who came from Holland, with us for awhile until she got used to our school. We got only one new pupil that year — Rex Nonneman. Page Fifteen

— 1958 ORACLE — CLASS HISTORY (continued) We entered fifth grade with twenty-one in the class under the direction of Miss Koch. This year five left our grade. I hey were Judith Mundt, Pauline Uhe, Carol Gamble, Jerry Watts, and Richard Crysler. We began sixth grade with an enrollment of 26. Our new teacher was Miss Jones. We gained five new students: Irene Heuer, Beverly Morfitt, Joan Christie, Da- vid Roth, and Roger Westphal. Those who left were Jean Kindred and Gary Byers. This year we had the thrill of moving upstairs and also enjoyed being in study hall with the eighth graders which was quite a change. We also had two teachers, Mr. Fox and Miss Jones. The enrollment was now twenty-nine; the new members were Thais Triplett, David McCord, and Donald Bethel. Roger Weber was the only one that moved away. Eighth grade began with twenty-six of us and we had the same teachers as the year before. We gained Carole Hoger, David Lorch, and Rodney Wohlert this year. We had the annual Field Day and got to meet quite a few new kids we would be with next year. The whole day was lots of fun. This was our big year! We were now entering the first of the top four classes. We had to start with initiation which turned out to be a riot. We all survived it with the girls wearing bathing suits, diapers, gunny sack tops, bedroom slippers, and of course our baby bottles. The boys wore their jeans and shirts backwards with one high-heeled shoe and one buckled overshoe. They all had the aroma of limburger cheese and onions. We completed the big day with a dance after getting the corn starch and eggs out of our hair. Very exciting and lots of fun. We gained Glenda Rons, Colleen Heetland, Marlene Tewes, Judy Meacham, Sharon Zahn, Judy Mundt, Jerry Scharnberg, Ruth and Ruby Jacobsma, Barbara Tschopp, Glenda Post, Darrel Strampe, Robert Kluender, Wallace English, Ronnie Hennings, Gary Donnenwerth, Dale Wille, Junior Feddersen, Glenda Philiph, Rose Mohr, Delores Perry, and Mavis Ebel. This is now our largest class — fifty-two. All good things must come to an end and so did our sophomore year. We ended our big year by having a picnic at the lakes. Even though a few of us got soaked from speedboat rides, we had a wonderful time. We lost six classmates this year, Glenda Post, Linda Coatsworth, Judy Meacham, Richard Proehl, Lamont Halweg, and Les- ter Muilenburg. We started the junior year with 45, but gained Joanne Klinker and lost Mavis Ebel. One of the greatest days of our junior year was the day we were called out of class to select our class rings. What a thrill it was to slip those rings on for the first time. Some were soon wrapped with tape while others hung on chains around that spec- ial someone’s neck. Page Sixteen
