CLASS HISTORY On August 30, I937, we looked into the smiling face of our teacher, Miss Florence Householder and around us to see many strange faces. We were sixteen in number. They were Max Bierstedt, Marilyn Meyer, Marvin Kienitz, Charlene Schroeder, Pat Murray, Carl Hansen, Bob Spear, Pauline Miller, Delores Kienitz, Vera and Bob Harms, Dick Ravn, Duane Christ, Marilyn Johnson, Esther Abbas, and Lee Buffington. Eight of these completed the twelve years in Lakota. In second grade Johanna Ketwick joined us but our enrollment dropped to thirteen. Carl Hansen, Delores Kienitz, Esther Abbas, and Lee Buffington left us. During this year Pauline and Dick were seen making faces at each other and as a consequence were in front of the room making faces for a half hour, in front of the entire class. In third grade Eugene Christ, Viola Potthoff and Edward Sohn joined our crew. Our enrollment was fifteen because Johanna moved. During our fourth year of school Kenneth' Kienitz and Wallace Mitchell were added to our class. Edward Sohn, Marvin Kienitz, Vera and Bob Harms left us so our enrollment was thirteen once more. We put on our first performance during this year by giving The Golden Goose for our mothers. In the fifth grade our class enlarged to fifteen members. Morris Wortman and Rector Thompson joined our forces. Our teacher during these past three years was Lavon Madden. Although Rector Thompson left us in sixth grade our class increased to seventeen when Phyllis Kluger, Evelyn Daniels and Willis Koppen enlisted in our growing army. Elsie Enderland was our teacher. When we reached seventh grade our enrollment was twenty. Marilyn Johnson and Phyllis Kluger left us but as usual we had some new members. They were Irene Boehm Ruth Thompson, Merwin Farrow, Robert Ruby, and Joan Anderson. In eighth grade our class grew larger. Delos King, Henry Hippen, Donald Hagedorn, Patricia Greenfield, Gerald Gordon and Waldo Miller looked with awe into our strange faces. During this year Irene Boehm, Kenneth Kienitz had left us, leaving us a class of twenty-two. We entered our first year of high school as green Freshies with an enrollment of twenty-five. Many students from the country were with us. They were Frances Christ, Eldon Goeke, Dennis Wertjes, and Jim Mullarky. Donald and Evelyn had moved away. By our Sophomore year a few were getting tired of Lakota School and Gerald Gordon, Viola Potthoff had left us leaving our enrollment twenty-one. Later Robert Ruby quit so our class was slowly dirninishing. Wallace Mitchell and Jim Mullarky also left us. During our Junior year Joan Anderson went to school in Manktao. Everyone had fun putting on a successful class play and banquet. Joan was with us again when we started our last year of high school. She moved after the first semester and so we graduate as a class of seventeen. During our high school years, we have had several teachers. They were, the Misses Strand, Butler, Jerde, Mrs. Mumford, Mrs. Beemer, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Wilson, and Messrs., Cook and Barrett. During these years we have had forty-one classmates at one time or another. 17'
