Cfafid .jwlidforg In 1949 the school doors were unlocked and Mrs. johnson welcomed I9 smiling boys and girls into the first grade. The planning and giving of a party in our first year was the beginning of our guest for knowledge. Mrs. Waldstein saw us safely through the second grade in spite of some minor difficulties. When Craig, Kirk, and Bob were sent home separately for fighting, they outsmarted the teacher by waiting be- hind Mr. Trafton's house. Merlyn chased Sandy on the ice and she fell and broke her anklep this was an unusual welcome for our newcomers, Evelyn Bennett and Virgil Cope. Ed Nygaard joined us in third grade, where we bid a tearful farewell to our teacher, Mrs. jeppeson, who was replaced by Mrs. Hartman. In fourth grade Sandy moved and so did Gary, much to Evelyn's dismay. This did not stop the ardent young lovers, however, for they carried on a lively correspondence. Our teacher, Miss Kolarich, and the class were happy to welcome David Bockelmann as a new member. In the fifth grade our teacher was Miss I-Iogge. Kirk was quick to enhance our reputation of being an unruly bunch. A bewildered Gary Rosene and Morris Larson took their places beside us scrubbing the schoolhouse walls with steel brushes. - Imagine Sharon and Sharol Bjorklund's consternation when they joined us in the sixth grade when Darlene Clauson welcomed them with a shiner. Mrs. Benson gave a good many things, but she couldn't take credit for Darlene's shiner. Having Mr. Beckel as our first male teacher was pleasant for us, but we feel it was perplexing for him, in as much as David and Alice were promptly given a thousand word theme for feuding. Lelland Nation was our latest addition. Our high school memories would fill a volume. We will never forget our parties, picnics, and the banquet we gave for the Seniors of 60 , not to mention the thrill of graduation. In the ninth grade we were happy to welcome Sandy back along with our newcomer, Chuck Egeland. This year Morris found the top of the ticket booth his only refuge from the heckling group. Driver's training was really a problem for three classmates in our sophomore year. Alice had trouble stopping at intersectionsg she would either roll through or throw everyone on the floor. Gary had his problems, too. I-Ie couldn't turn around on the road without going into the ditch. Craig's trouble was that shortly after he got his permit, he rolled a car, and he no longer had a permit. Our junior year will always be remembered as a year of hard work. First, the magazine sales, and then our banquet with our theme, Ebbtide. Last but not least, our long awaited senior year, which included a party at Fullenworth's for the sen- iors. Even though many of us are glad to be graduating, we will never forget all of these memories. As we are locking the doors to high school, we are unlocking other doors to our future. Cf...
