Claw .Hiatory Nigh onto twelve years for most of us, and fourteen years for some, clad in our new pair of shoes, the future criminals of the class of forty-nine entered their newest field of crime - school! From the very first day, tender romances blossomed. Fate brought together couples such as Bob Wheeler and Marlene Klimple, Roger I-luizenga and Bev Strilcove, and the fairest of all, Gene Wicks and Florence Cybulko. At Lincoln Bev Chrislock started her life of juvenile delinquency. She stay- ed home every chance she could get because of a dislike for the teacher. Roosevelt school was thc- breeding ground for all the Al Capones of this generation. No team dared beat the Roosevelt squad, for if they did, a bloody massacre would be their way of saying goodbye. The three worst ringleaders were Dennis Nelson, Ron Clott, and Bob White. The mention of these three names spell- ed terror in the hearts of the McKinley kids. At McKinley the most steady couple was Alice Mulvihill and Duane Lyders, while the favorite banquet hall was Marilyn Olson's house. Their favorite after- school recreation was a sling shot fight at the slough. Lincoln school and Betty J ordahl will nev- er forget Betty's birthday, for Jim Thompson and Chuck Wolfe thoroughly beat up on her. Wilma Miller, sticking up for her friend, beat up Chuck on another occasion. Each year at C e n t r al the school waited breathlessly for the outcome of the race between Dean Schrepel and Helen Peters as to who would bring the Christmas tree. The situation was soon solved, for the larger of the trees was used for the hall. Sally Thomas and Grace Leslie must still have marks from their battles dur- ing recess. Every day a crowd would gather in a certain spot, and on further investigation, sure enough there were Grace and Sally slugging it out! The dread of the sixth graders every Friday af- ternoon was the music program, for everytime they had to either suffer with one of Wally Varberg's terrific violin solos or Marilyn Hensrud's rendition of Dark Eyes on the piano. All in all, grade school found us not very refined, but then we ent ered junior high and were we ever big then! How proud we were when we got our merit badges! And remember that dress-up day! Funny how we all had errands to do uptown that day! The most spectacular thing was our lockers. Remember those logging chains we wore around our neck with our key dangling on the end? No matter how or- nate a dress or simple a sweater, no matter if we had two necklaces and a pin on, we still would feel undressed without our ever-faithful locker keys! . A' ,j 5 Then came the eighth grade and we exchanged home rooms again !-of all the luck, that cute boy got in 211 and I had to get in 213! In that year the girls got to work in the library. That was the most wonderful privilege in those days. Now, to trade a study hall to work behind the desk in the library is unheard of! At last we reached the most coveted grade of junior high-the ninth grade! Wow, were we wheels then! Remember those Rainbow dances? And the boys knew how to dance, too! Graduation was a thing too wonderful for the seventh graders to imagine. Our diplomas were cherished with great admiration, with their purple VELVET covering! And now the most wonder- ful part. We went on a picnic, with five chaperones of course, but we didn't go home till one-thir- ty !-Yes, I said ONE-THIRTY! All our glory vanished the next year, for we became green froshiesf' Oh the shame of it! How often we wished we were the wheels again! Now we began to know the wonder of having a dance every Friday. We didn't have one in junior high !-Also on rare occasions we found our names in the Minot High Times! By these small reminders that we yet were existing humans, we finally be- came accustomed to senior high. The tournament was another of our great ventures. Remember how proud we were when we came back bragging how good the baby buffalos were at F i n n e y's drugstore? Our junior year is probably the most cherished year for the fact that we had our prom. Don't ya kind of get choked up when you hear the familiar strains of The Stars Will Remember ? You think of all the work. Remember the star'?- Your mind tingles with the memory of its beauty! Gee, that's a thing we'll remember always! Then came our senior year and again we were the oldest. The highlight of this was Loyalty day and having our own queen. Then came our class rings, the tournament with our great basketball team, and finally graduation. We will always get a lump in our throats as we think of leaving MHS, for it was here that we found true h a p p i n e S s . All our thoughts can be summed up in these familiar words- Minot High School, hats off to thee. To our colors true we will ever be. Firm and strong, united are we. Rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah, HATS OFF TO MINOT HIGH ! ! ! Page Tell
