Class Dear Diary: Of the 34 members of the Crew of ,522 14 of them have inhabited this institution for 12 years. They are Gary Anderson, Arlene Bergland, Vivian F loberg, Silas Giere, Don Karlin, Gordon Luthi, Charles McDonald, Edna Mae Olson, Lee Purrier, Marilyn Rohde, Muryel Solwald, Joanne Thiel, Marguerite Wefald, and Conrad Weaver. The other 20 members of our crew were picked up along the way. Our voyage through these 12 years has been a very eventful journey. Grade one - On September 7, 1940, this crew started out on its twelve-year voyage with Miss Mikkelson as its captain. One of the landmarks that we explored was Ritteman's back yard where we held our first class picnic. We also journeyed out to Friday's farm to watch the milk- ing process, but we missed it and had cookies in- stead. Grade two - Due to our musically inclined teac- her, Miss Bestul, we organized a toy band. This band included such instruments as the tambo- rines, the triangle, the drum, and the sticks. Con- rad Weaver was found to have the amazing a- bility to produce music out of the sticks. Grade three - This year romance found its place among the young lasses of our class. Gary Ander- son was the Don juan of the grade. He had quite a time fighting of all of the eager females. Grade four - We will never forget this year,s measles epidemic. Out of the total enrollment of the class, only 8 students were found to be im- mune to it. This year we were given the oppor- tunity to join the band and to rent or purchase instruments. Grade five - This year saw many memorable battles. Finally, in our junior year, the hole in the wall, made by the ink bottle Miss Orvik aim- ed at Arlene Bergland, was repaired. Ted Gem- lich and Viola Honcik joined our crew this year. Grade six - We were found to be quite discon- tented in this grade and were constantly being sent down to the lower grades. Marguerite We- fald really got well acquainted with the first Histor Sixteen grade this year. Mable Burnside and john Ly- stad joined our ranks this year. Grade seven - Although we were generally known as angelic students, you could often find several sitting in the assembly after school. We also learned many famous quotes such as Mal- landvs bear that in mindv and There,ll be no more of thisf, Leo Gaffney enrolled this year. Grade eight - Charleen Dauner and Kenny Christianson helped fill the seats in the eighth grade room this year. Charleen, Ted Gemlich, and Lee Purrier were presented with the eighth grade awards. VVe shall never forget the joyful music classes we had this year. Grade nine - The initation bestowed upon us by the sophomores left us with a memorable event. Donna, Kermit, and Muriel Anderson, Charles Bratlien, Katherine Arnold, Ronald Bethke, Erma Nord, Adele Rodke, Jeanette Om- berg, Elsie Spillum, and Sally Tangen all aided in the packing of the freshman assembly. Maybe not so pleasant a memory is our toilsome struggle with algebra we had this year. Grade ten - Driving class was what we consider- ed one of our privileges this year. Ioanne Thiel took advantage of it and experienced her first acccident. This year the famous phrase, demo- cratic dictatorship, arose when Miss Vondra de- cided our class picnic for us without first con- sulting the class. This brought a lot of protests but it turned out to be a triumphant affair never- theless. Grade eleven - This year Bill Westlund and Nancy Bergan joined up with us. We put on a sensational class play, Off The Tracksf' We were honored by making more money on our play than had ever been made by any other class. We went military', on our junior-senior banquet. Grade twelve - We have reached the final port on our voyage with many pleasant memories be- hind us. This is the time we all get sentimental over the past with big events such as graduation, hobo day, and the class outing. As we leave good ol, H. H. S. we say to you underclasmen, Bon Voyageli'
