The class roll at the time was: George Anderson, Richard Baack, Donald Bell. Dick Dulmes, Lyle Heginger, Lois Ann Jacobs, Leonard Jahuke, Vernon Larson, Allen Lau, Bonnie Jean Mau, Margaret Ann Medaus, Dennis Ridder, Daisy Schaefer, Janice Swanson, Roger Terhufen, Melborne Trampel, and Tommy Waddingham. Miss Virgie Hardcoff was our teacher, and John Micklick was Superintendent. We went to school every afternoon from one until three. We liked to sit on the small chairs and color. On November 12, the grades gave a pageant entitled I am an American in which the kindergarten took part. When school started after Christmas vacation, Donald Bell didn't come back to school. In March George Allen Anderson moved to Kanawha, and Gary Beek entered our class. Our school picnic was held in the park on Friday, May 22. This ended our first year of school, which we all enjoyed very much. First grade started for fifteen of us on August 31, 1942. Miss Hardcoff was again our teacher. This year, though, we had a special music teacher. She taught us many songs which we liked to sing. On the 13th of November, the curtain went up on a pageant Cavalcade of America , which our class presented. We had a rhythm band this year, and we all wore white suits and green capes. George Anderson returned to our class, a.nd Donald Bell left the second time this year. Diseases seemed to be quite the vogue, as we all came down with almost everything. Our school picnic on May 14th ended another year for us. We looked forward to the second grade and a new teacher. Second grade began for us on August 30, 1943, with Miss Arlene Bugh as our teacher. Phyliss Sherrill was our music teacher this year. Under her direction the whole school put on the musical show, Olde Folke Concerte . George Anderson, Leonard Jahyke, and Margaret Medeaus are not in our class, but Ronnie Karsjens joined it. On December 21st we presented another all school play. Our room presented the Rhythm Band of which Dennis Ridder was the leader. This year for Valentines Day we had something special. We made a post office and received our valentines in our in- dividual boxes. We were all glad to see vacation come. Our school picnic was May 16. On Monday, September 4th, we advanced to another room, and another teacher. Miss Mary Jane Holm was the teacher of the twelve students in our grade. This spring we lost two of our classmates. Bonnie Mau and Robert Wilson left our class. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades presented an operetta this year named Mid-summer Eve . V.E. Day was Friday, May 8: we enjoyed a day of vacation. In the morning we marched up town with the band. May 18th ended our year in the third grade. Our 1945-46 school year opened on September 3rd. Miss Holm was again our teacher, and Miss Liewen of Belmond was our music teacher. This year we had a few more students in the fourth grade as the new busses brought in these students from the country. Our new classmates were Lois Ann Christians, and LeRoy and LuVerne Josten. Our operetta was postponed this year due to an epedimic of flu which spread through the school. It was finally put on January 10th. Lazy Town was a very pretty operetta and enjoyed by everyone. On March lst, two new students entered our class. They were Thomas Havilen and Vernon Larson. This year our picnic had to be held in the gym. This was the first time since the school was built in 1939. We have advanced to another room, and to the fifth grade with Mrs. Norma Vote- berg as our teacher. There are thirteen in our class this year. This year LuVerne Josten left our class, but we gained three new pupils. They are Jo Ann Burgess, Delwyn Brede, and Mary TerHark. We got quite a bit of well enjoyed snow vacation this year. On the eve of March 25th, the grades presented the operetta The Obliging Clock . On April 10th. we all boarded the bus and went to Kanawha to the Tall Corn Theater to see Pinocchio , Our picnic was held in the park on Mary 23rd, ending our fifth grade in school. Registration for the school year 1947-48 was Tuesday, Sept 2. Mrs. Wayne Schlawin is our teacher, and we had a class enrollment of fourteen. We got off to a good start by organizing a club called Pee Wee 31 , This year we planned a party for our Mothers on Friday afternoon, February 27th. We presented a skit. All Aboard to Health Land , and then we showed thema display of the many things we had done in our room. On May 7th, the grade operetta, Midsummer's Night Dream , was presented. It was a very nice operetta. Mrs. Pat Patterson directed it assisted by the other teachers. On May. 8th we all went to Britt, where we took part in the Dental Parade. In order to be eligible we had. to have our teeth checked and dental cards signed. We had our first grade skating party this year at Bayside which we all enjoyed. School closed on May 21st, We were sort of glad for vacation. Page Sponsor . . . JOSTON HARDWARE AND APPLIANCE I Z Q E s s E 2 E E I E Seventh grade started for twelve of us on August 30, 1948. This year we are up- stairs, and half of our school career is over. Mr. Robert Juhl is our teacher. In October Noel Egeland joined our class. A Grade Basketball Teaxn was organized, but got off to a late start. Just the same, though, we got in quite a few games. Around the first of March Mary TerHark left our class, and Darlene Roul entered. We attended the Annual Health Day again at Britt. The school year came to a close the following week, May 20th. Sixteen boys and girls enrolled for eighth grade on August 29. This year our Jr. High Basketball Team really got off to a flying start!!! We won six games and lost three. Mr. Robert Juhl was our coach and teacher this year. School closed this year on Tuesday. May 3rd, We received our diplomas on Thursday night May 18th, the same night the seniors received theirs. Mr. Earl Hall of Mason City gave the address. This ended our careers as grade students. Next fall we enter high school ..... Twenty-four grown-ups iso we thought! entered High School with big ideas on August 28, 1950. Our class roll was: Roger Terhufen, Janice Swanson, Daisy Schaefer, Darlene Roul, Eleanor Priebe, Dennis Ridder. Bill Katter, Delbert Etchen, Lois Jacobs, Ronald Karsjens, Tom Waddingham, Lois Helps, Noel Egeland, Lois Christians, Robert Cavitt, Jo Ann Burgess, Delwyn Brede, Dick Baack, Dennis Fjetland, LeRoy Josten, Norma Mos- trom, Dorothy Polsdofer, Marvin Swyter, and Roger Lyons. Initiation proved to be a lot of fun in some ways and in others, not so much. Everyone was assigned something to wear from gunny sacks to onion necklaces and bracelets. We especially want to remem- ber Roger T. and his DARLING outfit! The evening the initiation party was held, -we performed several feats and finally we were accepted into high school. We could then enjoy the Sock Hop . One of our greatest thrills in our freshman year came when five girls and five boys were chosen as waitresses and waiters for the Junior, Senior Banquet. We represented tight-rope walkers in the huge circus tent. Our freshman year ended, we didn't want to tell anyone, but we really were looking forward to our sophomore year in Klemme High. When summer was over and our sophomore year finally rolled around, we had lost a few classmates and gained a few. Danny Fjetland, LeRoy Josten, Norma Mostrom, Dorothy Polsdofer, and Marvin Swyter left our class this year, and Jo Ann Bacon, Dale Berry, and Ralph Draves entered this year. This year was spent working hard on our studies, disecting, and several of us had the opportunity to again take part in the Junior, Senior Banquet. It was a Gypsy Camp this year. At the end of 6 weeks, Dale Berry left our class. We had the Junior Class Play and the banquet to look forward to. One of the Big Thrills of our junior year was the coming of our class rings by Thanksgiving vacation. Almost at once, the Junior Class Play cast was chosen and we began work on Bil1's Night Out . Carolyn Carolus came in just in time to give some much needed help on our banquet which was an Oriental Garden . Even though we did have quite a few squabbles, we did get a pretty nice banquet out Qwe thoughtl. We were busy socially this year. Some of us had to usher for the Sr. Class Play, and also for Commencement and Baccalaureate. Ourjunior year was over. Can you imagine, we would be Srs. the coming fall. Our senior year began on August 31, 1953, with 22 members in our class. This year, we had big business. We ordered our announcements, and thank you notes. and had our senior pictures taken October 23. The Senior Class Play cast was chosen by Mr. Hiller, our director, and we began work on Murder at Random , a comedy-mystery. It was presented on April 7th with a good attendance. On April 23rd, at the wee hour of 4:30 a.m., the 1954 Seniors left by chartered bus for the State Penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn. From there, we went back to St. Paul, Minn., for dinner. In the afternoon, we toured the Ford Plant and then drove through the airport and through Skid Row in Minneapolis. After a few hours of our own, we attended the Ice Follies of 1954. They were immensely enjoyed by all. We reached good old Klemme about 3:00 the next morn- ing fYawnl. This year WE were the guests at the Jr., Sr. Banquet, the theme being Hawaiian. The gym was nicely decorated and the food was delicious. Baccalaureate was held on May 16, and our Commencement exercises were held on May 19. The Sham- rocks advanced to Sub-State this year, but went down at the hands of Dinsdale. The cheerleaders from our class were Daisy S., Janice S., and Jo Ann Bacon. Our Valedic- torian was Noel Egeland and our Salutatorian, Ralph Draves. For some of us, this con- cludes a major portion of our education, but for others, a minor part as we're going on to college. Page Sponsor . . . WELLEMEYER'S FUNERAL SERVICE, Glenn Osman E 2 E s E F F CLASS PROPHECY I reached for the glass. It wobbled when I picked it up, and some of the water slopped out. Darlene, across the room, sat on the edge of her bed, her head in her hands. It was getting her too. Dar, I said, we've been working too hard. We've got to get away from the business. It'll do all right without us for a year or two. Darlene was too sunk in misery to talk. She just looked at me and nodded. The next day, we stopped at a travel-agency. England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, swept before our work-blurred baby blues. Then we hit the jackpot: Africa, big game hunting, and we were going by the U.S.S. United States the Second. Gulls circled overhead, people yelled, laughed, and cried alternately. The wind twirled the gay crepe-paper streamers that held the ship to the wharf in their feeble grip. Suddenly the sounds changed. The Captain had acute appendicitus and a substitute would be piped aboard any minute, the people whispered. Bosuns--pipes, shrilled almost behind us. We turned, and there in the midst of ship's officers was the new Captain, Jo Ann Burgess! Our mouths fell open, our eyes bugged out, and we stared unbelievingly at each other. Then we were rushing madly down the deck to the captain's quarters. That night, we ate at her table in nautical style. We dropped anchor in Honolulu the 15th of June. It was an eventful trip, for not only did we discover that Carolyn Carolus was chief radioman and Eleanor Priebe was head stokey on no. 2 boiler, fin this year of 1956, women were rapidly taking over men's jobsj but you can imagine our surprise when, upon pulling into the harbor, we saw Del- wyn Brede and Ralph Draves diving for pennies! It turned out they had their own company of accomplished penny divers! We were held over for three days there. Reports had arrived at the same time we did, of a hurricane brewing southeast of the Marianas group. A new method of telling the wind velocity, hurricane strength, general movement, etc., had been developed. A pilot actually FLEW into the storm to gather data. We were lucky enough to be at the airfield when the plane took off. The pilot took off. As the huge rockets blarred, and the huge bird took off into the storm, we happened to think of an old school chum, Lois Jacobs. I don't know why though, but she was afraid of storms! An hour later, we heard the rumble of the plane as it returned. You can about see the awe on our faces when we recognized through the dirt and marks left by the goggles, Lois Jacobs! Jo Ann, Darlene!! What are you doing here? the voice was familiar, and so was the face. No wonder, the young man was Noel Egeland. In the reunion that naturally followed, we learned much about our old classmates. Many of them were relatively rich, Noel among them. He was acab driver. The tips were enormous this year. For instance, Tom Waddingham- -he was a gambler, gentleman type. Right now, he's living in his 275 room cottage with hot and cold running Cadillacs. Dick Baack was another. He made his money in oil. Castor that is. People had said once that he tried to buy a controlling interest in Fort Knox. We stopped at Noel's house the rest of our stay. He and his wife fthree guessesl showed us a wonderful time. It was hard to say good-by that week end. Three days later, the ship dropped anchor in Capetown. The strong ocean wind blew us down the narrow streets, and as Darlene turned the corner, a certain gust of wind pushed her right into what appeared to be a white hunter! Listen, you, why don't you watch where you're ------- She never finished, for there, staring out from under the helmet was Lois Christians! Joy raged in the streets of Capetown that night. Naturally, we hired Louie to lead our hunting party. The sun beat down, high above vultures wheeled. From the looks Darlene gave behind her, I knew that she wished she were home. Iknow I did. Even though the lion we were stalking was mangy and toothless, he looked bad enough to me. Lois put a double barreled rifle in my sweating palms and said, Shoot! The gun was heavier than I was, but I lifted it to my shoulder and pulling both triggers with all my might ....... Something smashed against my back. It was a palm tree. But, how did it come to me? Finally it dawned on me, the rifle had brought me to the tree! The lion just sniffed and walked away . . . . Darlene called off the hunt. Maybe because the king of beasts chose her direction in leaving ..... Lois wouldn't go on until she had visited a native friend. She demanded that we go alone and meet this remarkable personage, so we did. What's the matter, kids? Sick? ANOTHER voice we hadn't heard since gradu- ation. Roger Terhufen! That evening, we feasted in the best of style in the beautiful Page Sponsors . . . BUD PRITCHARD, INC. R.E.A. Garner E s a Q E 2 r 2 Q Q paradise that surrounded Rog's village. Back in Capetown, we were taken along with a mad crowd, who, when we asked where they were going, said, Get Hep, ma'am, we're going to hear the great Evangelist. Which Evangelist? Dennis Ridder, Naturally! The trip back was uneventful. I've never seen the Statue of Liberty look more stunning. Maybe it was the shiny new coat of paint. One ofthe workmen waved. We started to wave back, then suddenly stopped, it was Bill Katter! You know him? one of the tug boat captains hollered up to us. Darlene opened her mouth, but that's as far as she got. It was Delbert Etchen, right honorable captain of the Sally Ann of New York. We bought a car from another friend, Ronnie Karsjens. QHe's the biggest auto mag- net in America now.j Owns both General Motors, and FORD. His wife and four kids run him, though. We then left for our good old home town KLEMME. Two days later, we were lost in one of the largest cities I've ever seen. At first I thought it was Chicago, but we couldn't find Lake Michigan. No wonder, it was Klernme. The next two weeks were spent shuttling between the homes of the FORMER Janice Swanson, the FORMER Lois Helps, and the FORMER Daisy Schaefer. All three had inspired for naggedj their husbands into making Klemme what it is today! And so. three months after we left, we returned to our present home, Los Angeles. What do we do? Why, we write stories for TRUE, the man's magazine. THE SEVEN WHO BEGAN SCHOOL IN KLEMME FRONT ROW: Janice Swanson, Daisy Schaefer, and Lois Jacobs.
