1955 CLASS HISTORY Everyone's education has to have its beginning, and we, the class of 1955, were no exception. One bright beautiful day in September of 1942, a group of proud mothers dragged their little darlings up the north steps of the Grade School Building and into Miss Reich's kindergarten room. There were twenty-five of us in all; namely, Gary Buehler, Jeanine Buehler, Kay Buettner, Janice Crain, Ronald F logs tad, J uni th Gunder- son, Dennis Huff, Robert Hummel, Jerry Iversen, Caroline Kluckhohn, Mary Krohn, Marvin Longnecker, Charles Mandernach, Lavonne McAhren, Margaret Meals, Craig Morr, Donald Murr, Robert Scanlan, Shirley Schomer, James Turner, William Wallace, Mavis Wangler, Colleen Weifenbach, Patsy Horstman, and Charlotte Erickson. We will always remember the church services we held every morning in the'little red church, and the wonderful times we had playing in the playhouse. We drove Miss Reich almost insane by eat- ing her graham crackers, when she locked us in the closet. But we were headed for longer hours and harder studies, so we crossed the hall to Mrs. Lundblad's first grade. At last we could go to school all day and didn't have to take an afternoon nap. In the process of mov- ing, we lost Marvin Longnecker, Robert Scanlan, Wil- liam Wallace, Margaret Meals, and Janice Crain. We gained Lola Albrecht, Helen Loomer, Ronald Mc- Gonigle, and Edward Huff. The next year we moved on to Miss Swanson in the second grade. Added to our number were Phil Meltesen and Warner Quirk, but we lost Edward Huff, Lavonne McAhren,and Gary Buehler. The highlight of the year was the grocery store we built and each one took his turn being storekeeper. In our short trip across the hall to Miss Barber's third grade, we lost Lola Albrecht, Donald Murr, Craig Morr, and Caroline Kluckhohn. To make up for our loss Roger Oxendale, Jerry Purcell, Lois Boerner, and Colleen Weifenbach joined our number, making a total of eighteen. There were some of us who could read better than the others, so they proudly sat in the first reading group while the rest of us sat in the second. When roll was called in Miss Charlson's fourth grade, we found Roger Oxendale and Jerry Purcell missing. However, we added to our roll, Barbara Currie, Darlene Paul, Dean Johnson, and Pat Sorenson, giving us a total of twenty. The most important event during the year came when we all gathered in the hall to sing Christ- mas Carols. After fourth grade we jumped high enough to enter Miss Jensen's fifth grade room, on second floor. We lost Mavis Wangler and Warner Quirk but gained LaDon Hoefling and Sharon Roberts on the way up. At first we got rather tired after climbing the three long flights of stairs. We always looked forward to the day when the teacher's boy friend came to visit school. Each of us had our turn at teasing poor teacher about him. In sixth grade, Miss Benning seemed to quiet our teasing manner. We lost Dean Johnson but gained several new faces. Among them were Jim Gunderson, Marlin Gunderson, Gary Hogue, Russell Paulson, Roger Kies,Jolene Lange, and Miriam Youngren, making our number stand at twenty-six. The following year we joined the eighth and ninth grade in the Junior High Study Hall. Everything was so different -- extra curricular activities, class parties, more teachers, fewer subjects, study hall, and those un- mentionable citizenship marks. It was no wonder we received so many citizenship marks because some of us were pretty good at throwing erasers and chalk. In the process of moving,we lost Jolene Lange but we gained Kenneth Johnson, Harold Miller, and Lynne Sonksen. The eighth grade was pretty much the same as seventh grade except the new faces that were added to our number. They were Emily Bergman, Patricia Peed, Shirley Hast, Jerry Hupp, Carol Johnson, and Lorraine Neville. During the last year we lost Sharon Roberts and Patricia Peed. The next thing we knew we were freshmen. We were still in Junior High but we could take part in high school activities, such as, chorus groups, dramatics, F. F.A., and athletics. From the country schools, the parochial school, and schools from other towns, we added to our roll call Paul Miller, Teresa Viet, Janet Taphorn, Arlene Schwaller, Edrie Leeds, Helen Lansink, Marilyn Landgraf, Philip Coburn, Joseph Wingert, Bill Wallace,Loren Thies,Robert Scanlan,Robert Martiens, Larry Lindstrom, William Kaspersen, Douglas Herrig, Darrell Brown, Dale Gardner, and Bill Halboth. We lost Jerry Hupp and Shirley Hast, but we still had a grand total of fifty-three, one of the largest classes we have ever had. The next year we took a big jump to the new build- ing to continue our high school career as sophomores. Our sophomore year gave us more privileges, our own lockers,and home rooms,but we had more new teach- ers and harder studies. The only thing we didn't like was being looked down on by the juniors and seniors. We gained Sharon Roberts. In the transfer we lost Carol Johnson and Robert Martiens, and we gained Tom Brown, Robert Lappegard, and Jim Moller. During the year we lost Robert Lappegard and Jim Moller. Our junior year is remembered by two outstanding events: the Junior Class Play, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Also during the year we sold at basketball and football games and selected our class rings. We lost Teresa Viet, Pat Sorensen, and Ronald Flogstad and gained Robert Martiens. The second semester we lost Paul Miller and Larry Lindstrom. Finally we made the last jump in our high school career. We are seniors!! It was a long grind but we made it with a grand total of forty-five. Since last year we have lost Loren Theis and Darrell Brown. Those who have traveled all thirteen years together are Jeanine Buehler, Kay Buettner, Junith Gunderson, Robert Hum- mel, Jerry Iversen. Charles Mandernach, Shirley Schomer, Patsy Horstman, and Charlotte Erickson. As we, the seniors, leave Odebolt High, never to come back again as students, we take with us many fond memories of our school days. We only hope that as we go our separate ways, our town and school will have some reason to be proud of us. Kay Buettner and Jeanine Buehler 16
