Junior Class Memories nwheel Oh look, Jack, only one big step to go and we'll be at the top of the hill, and then we'll be able to see over the top and beyond our sehool days.n uYes, Jill, it's been quite a climb. Letfs stop and rest a minute and think about the times we've had together. nlmagine, eleven years ago we started our trip to the top of the hill. Didnft we have a gay time in the first grade though? Guy Peterson, Zoe Bailey, Mary Swanberg, Phyllis Johnson, Donna Faye Maurice, Walter Markling, Annabelle Tozer, Barbara Long- worth, Charlie Decker, Ann Rose Mockenhaupt, Nancy McEachern, and Mary Ann Walker made up our class that year. Han Hal na x What are you laughing at, Jack? NRemember the play house we made, and all the furniture and we even wall-papered.H NThen we went on to the second grade and put on the play, 'Hansel and Gretel.'u nThat's the year Margaret Isaacson and Wilbur Daniels joined us in our climb. I remember now.n uThe third step Bob Andrews joined our merry group.n HAnd donft forget the thrilling mystery play we attended either.n nOn the fourth stepping stone we all moved over and welcomed Marie and Viola Barnett, Jane Collins, and Patty Keogh.u uThat was the first year our class was divided into two groups and were even put into two different rooms.H uOur group was again separated in the fifth grade.u nAnd Virginia Strand came that year too. We had some good times on those stepa didn't we, Jill. nOh, yes, and even more so in sixth grade when we were again all together. I think thatfs where we began to build up our wonderful reputation.u uGuy Peterson won all the races then just as Roger did when he was in sixth grade-H nAnd Mary Swanberg followed in Donna's footsteps and beat all the girls.H HYup, I guess those Swanbergs and Petersons are pretty fast, eh, Jill?u HHal Hal I think you're right, Jaok.H uOur next step was a long one. It carried us way up the stairs and into 7th grade WWG thought we were pretty grown up and started what has developed into annual win- ter parties and a spring scavanger hunt.u WWhoops, we boys acquired quite a talent for practicing baseball with erasers, did- n't we, Jill?u nI'll say. It was so realistic we got our cheerleaders all picked. They didn't yell much for baseballg however, they were junior cheerleaders for basketball games.H nOn the eighth step we began to get a little crowded. Victor Hitter, Delores Bai- ley, Corinne Barth, and Marilyn Erickson added their voices to our growing choir.n nFrom then on our slogan has been 'The more the merrier' and we all stuck together likefbirds of a featherf. Our school spirit shone brightly. When you saw one or two d us at a game, You could be sure the rest of the tribe was close by.u NThe ninth step increased our number to twice as many. I think, to be exact, it would be fifty boys and girls, wouldn't it, Jill?n nHmmm, let me see. Ruth Eastlick, Marlene Spiering, Dolores Frehner, Herbie Masteller, Willard Johnson, Billy Shierts, Bernard Christiansen, Donald Robinson, Vernon Lundquist, Lois Foquette, and Maye Gilbert joined us. Yes, I believe youfre right, Jack.N WNe went to Excelsior on our class picnic that year. Oh, that roller GORSTST xW nYes, it was great fun, but what happened on the Sophomore step, Jaok?u WWhy, Jill, I'm ashwned of you. That's the year we became so famous for our parties. fOr rather for the number of them.jU uThe one I remember best was at one party all the boys danoed.n NI can't forget the toboggan party out at Shultz's hill. Remember when. Walt Markling hurt his leg and rested against the tombstone?n nAnd, Hal Hal When the one toboggan went down backwards and broke?H WNhat times we did have! It doesn't seem possible we're almost past the eleventh step and going on 'to the twelfth, and the little piece of paper at the top of the hill they call a diploma. Leroy Klinebeck, Betty Wingert, Geraldine Nelson, Laurel Rask, and Barb Corrow joined our forces. 'We've picked, for our graduation rings, a pattern called 'Old English' and started our junior class play, !Home Sweet Ho:ioide'.n uYes, Jack, We've come a long way up the hill and somehow I know the steps yet to go will be just as happy and successful as the ones we've just climbed.n ll ' ll Q I4
