— 1961 ORACLE — SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Ready or not, here we come! On August 30, 1948, thirty-one little angels were marching to the Hartley School, being welcomed at the kindergarten door by Miss Wanda Snow. Many new and strange acquaintances were made among Marla Byers, Margorie Gathman, Sharolyn Hansen, Marilyn McCarty, Karen Menke, Beverly Peters, Carol Potter, Barbara Raw, Alberta Riedeman, Judy Sampson, Rosemary Smith, Lillian Strayer, Connie Uhe, Kay Wilson, Craig Cooper, Kelly DeBoer, Larry Ewoldt, Terry Fahlenkamp, James Hansen, Jimmy Houtcooper, Gary Krueger, Bill Linder. Dennis Nurse, Jim Beck, Tom Stoterau, and their first teacher. We did a lot of new things during this year and enjoyed little rest periods on the rugs. Since we are now first graders, we had real desks to sit at, and away with the little rugs. Miss Coons, our leader, tried to teach us our 3 R's, besides keeping con- trol of us little demons. Those that we started without at the beginning of this year were: Kay Wilson and Larry Ewoldt. We gained Steve Baird and Gary Moore but Gary left during the year. In the spring of first grade, Gary Krueger and Rosemary Smith decided to leave us little “brains”. Up the ladder we climbed to second grade. We started this year without Marla Byers, Connie Uhe, and Jimmy Houtcooper. More scholars to join our honor class were: Naomi Ewoldt, Marsha Romey, Jayne Schmidt, and Donna Sperry. We started out the year with Miss Harms as our teacher, but ended with Mrs. Romanowski. We assume that Miss Harms had different things on her mind besides teaching. Miss Van Hauen greeted us as we invaded the third grade in September, 1951. Although Wayne White and Benny Watts left us, we were joined by Kurt Ott, Ronald Shaefer, Charles Smith, Ronald Dixon, Margaret Agnitsch, Sonya Dries, Roger Koehnecke and Donald Osterson. During the year we lost Kelly DeBoer and Donald Osterson. Our class numbered 33. We now progressed to fourth grade with 37 of us answering roll call on Sep- tember I, 1952. M iss Veenker, our new teacher, was there to welcome us. The new ones that joined this rowdy class were Annelie Bohrensen. Sharon Triplet, Gary Moore and Jimmy Houtcooper. Marlene Nissen came to join us as the year progressed. Mar- garet Agnitsch and Jimmy Houtcooper moved, leaving our little group. A short three months of freedom fluttered by and thirty-nine of us were greet- ed by school bells. This time school was on August 31, 1953; our teacher Miss LaVaughn Lill; our rank, fifth grade. This year we gained Gale Ewoldt. Audrey Raber, and James Proehl. We regained Donald Osterson for only a short while for he left again during the year. Others we lost during the year were Ronald Dixon and Jayne Schmidt. In the fall of 1954, we began as sixth graders and gradually were getting closer to junior high and high school. Our class was separated into two divisions and we had our headquarters in two various church basements that year. Our teachers, Mrs. Hermanson and Miss Abbas, tried to keep control of us little scholars, but at times it was impossible. Our class enrollment increased with these people: Esther Denny, Susan Pow- ers, Thomas Maschmeier, Lynn Thorn, and Roger Tjaden. During the year we re- gained Kelly DeBoer, but lost Alberta Riedemann, Steve Baird, and Donna Sperry. We now had reached the ranks of junior high and moved upstairs. Some- thing else new had also been added: we now had two teachers, Mrs. Grace Anderson and Mr. Robert Hughes. Our class increased this year by four: Keith Lorch, Jane Schierholz, Patricia Larsen, and Carole Kluender. We were lucky and lost only three students: Roger Tjaden, Susan Powers and James Proehl. We were fortunate enough to have a few members on the junior high basketball squads and won some of the games. Page Sixteen
