Our first grade year started in the fall of 1971 with 18 students: Janet Gatzke. Bob Maixner, Sherry Nielsen, Lisa Clark, Nancy Bohlman, Brandon Johnson. David Ehlis, David Rettinger, Darrell Koppinger, Eric Morel. Lynnette Ming. Carla Lien. Jolene Anton. Cindy Schwartz. Aaron Hewson. Jim Klein. Trevor Dorner, and Tim Hatlestad. Eric started his favorite hobby right away though, and she stayed far away from him for a long time. Our teacher was Mrs. Thompson and Lisa liked her so much that she gave her a kiss on the last day of school. In second grade Jana Wilkens and Tracy Freer came to join our class as we suffered through the daily milkbreak. Aaron had a rough year. First he got sick and fell asleep on a of snoring he whistles in his sleep. Jimmy got mad at him later that year and hit him over the head with his schoolbag. Aaron’s head came through unscarred but Jimmy cried and cried over his broken schoolbag. We also put on our first play, Bambi. Most of us wanted the leading roles but Lisa was content to be the log. Things really changed in the third grade. We lost Lynnette. Tracy. Tim, and Brandon, but Roberta Maixner and Christopher Livingston came. We gave them both a hard time and Mrs Wilhelm gave us a lecture about a certain word we called Roberta. Mrs. Tews also threatened to make David Ehlis and David Rettinger wear diapers if they didn’t stop teasing Chris. Our attitudes changed considerably by the end of the year. Fourth grade came and we lost Chris but Phil Osbourn joined us. The best part of that year was getting dilly bars for lunch. Art was a favorite subject in fifth grade. We also spent a lot of time playing king on the hill and having water fights. Aaron lost out again in the sixth grade when quite a few rules were broken over his head. As a punishment for talking. Lisa. Sherry, and Aaron had to follow Mrs. Hanson around and do everything she did. After a few minutes of picking up imaginary pens and scratching imaginary itches she was laughing so hard that they got to sit down again. David Weiler was added to our class that year and Trevor and Phil left. However, the highlight of our year was when Lisa. Sherry, and Carla skipped school and went over to Lisa’s house to suntan on the garage roof. The phone kept ringing and finally when Mr. Lechler came over they decided to go back to school. The next few days were really scary and Carla was forbidden to every play with Sherry and Lisa again. They all swore they'd never do it again. But, oh well, at least they didn't do it again that year. Seventh grade brought Robert Petri and Nancy Buzalsky to our class while David Ehlis left. Roberta started her women’s liberation movement that year and when she said that girls were stronger than boys. David Rettinger decided to prove her wrong by putting on a wrestling hold while the whole class cheered them on from the sidelines. Joyce Braun joined us in the eighth grade. The word sick was really ‘‘in’’ that year. And unfortunately. David Rettinger broke his leg. High school started with three new students, Darlene Binstock, Marlene Frank, and Allen Olheiser. Homecoming was the big event. Many long hours went into the making of our skit and float. Aaron had to crawl across the stage in a diaper for our homecoming skit. He also got sold to the highest bidder in the slave sale. And Mr. Klein informed us that before we went to college that ‘‘first you have to be ALIVE.” We learned a lot of helpful things that year. Sophomore year we got first place for our homecoming float which was a spaceship Homecoming wasn't fun for everyone though. Buz broke her knee playing in the girl’s football game. David Rettinger started his strange habits like picking up pencils with his lips and Mrs. Jung let us spend a day talking about our middle names, especially hers which is Alma. Aaron started a roll of paper on fire in Biology while we were dissecting frogs. And Darrell started Lisa's hair on fire in the lunch line. The girls surprised the boys the last day of Phy. Ed. when they snuck down into the boys locker room and soaked their shorts. Three new students came our Junior year. Jeff Schoch, Jim Messer, and Mark Kilwein. Bob got put into the hospital for a long time when a tractor ran over him, Robert joined and left the football team quicker than expected, and David Weiler began his pudding eating career to give our class free days. The play was really great and fun to put on. A few complications came up when Nancy thought she was a bluebird, and right before the night performance. But they straightened themselves out with a little time and a few forgotten lines. The big event was the prom which was our responsibility. When we finally finished it. it was pretty nice. It’s too bad we can’t say the same about the band. Not only were they terrible, they also burned our stage curtains. We overextended our funds a little that year. Our senior year we were given a lesson in Economics because of our Junior year. So we decided to have a dance to make some money and we were fortunate enough to get a really great band called the Flakes. Vince Eisenbraun came this year but Jim and Jeff left. Homecoming was a big surprise because our float won again! It must have been because of our theme ‘‘Let The Tiger Spirit Soar” because the rest of it only took ten minutes. Mr Lechler went on a short trip and when the cat’s away the mice will play, so some of us had to serve a day of in school suspension Mr. Lechler called it senioritis and warned us about it ever happening again. Roberta and Mr. Schatz had some good conversations about politics in history and Bob celebrated the burning of the tractor that ran over him. Robert got a little careless and totalled the park’s girls bathroom and David Weiler really had an interesting year. First he continued his champion pudding eating expertise, then he ended up in Richardton while trying to get to Regent, and finally he ran into a few problems down at St. Marys girls dormitory. We’ve had a lot of wonderful times through the past years and the memories of those times will be carried in our hearts forever, just as we leave a part of ourselves with the school. And so with a fond farewell we. the class of “83’’, leave to further our lives the best we can. The graduating class of “1983”: Jana Wilkens. Janet Gatzke, Sherry Nielsen, Lisa Clark. Nancy Bohlman.
