Seventh Grade Above- Molly Gerdes flashes her big brown eyes at the camera in hopes of getting a date Right- The only safe place for Russ Anderson is at the front of the class! Taking Junior High By Storm If you ever see a large group of students gathered around Russ Anderson, they’re not there just for idle gossip, but rather to see what Russel brought to school this time! If you could hear some phrases that come out of a typical seventh grader’s mouth, it might be “Cubs all the way” or “I get no respect!” A friend was made with the school janitor whose trash-can- spinning abilities will always astound them. This unique bunch is known for boggling the mind of even the smartest teacher!

Eighth Grade Nicknames, Nickels, and Numchucks Hype”, Bungy”, Mama Teresa” and Tames”, might be foreign language to most people but not to the group called the eighth graders. They made up nicknames for almost everyone in their class. Not only were the eighth graders known for pinning names on people, but money played a major role in their lives. It was said that $10 was given for the dare of eating one live worm! Many other dares were given and bets placed. Learning the art of self-defense aroused the curiousity of one eighth grader but, when a set of numchucks came into the school and into Mr. Plahn’s possesion, it was decided that the martial arts should be prac- ticed elsewhere. As the year ended some were known by a nickname while others walked away with money in their pockets and a smile on their face. Chris Schroedermeier got his shorts taken up just in the nick of time.

Fifth and Sixth Grade Drawing On Resources Have you ever wanted to be a famous painter or actor? The fifth grade class got an early start as they drew life-size pictures and wrote biographies on famous people. They also practiced acting and writing skills as they wrote and acted out their own plays. Participat- ing in these activities made the year a memorable one for all. The sixth grade class seemed to want to grow up to be painters or historians. They concentrated on painting and studying South Dakota histo- ry. They also enriched their understanding of art by visit- ing the Pettigrew Museum. The year ended on a note of anticipation as the sixth grad- ers looked forward to becom- ing part of the junior high.
