These bright, clever, and sharp-witted freshmen included: Donna Amundson, Rollyn Anderson, Richard Bakke, Ronald Carroll, Rodney Cewkins, Royal Cawkins, BernmeChrist1anson, Helen Damrow, Beverly Densch, Raymond Farrey, Phidp Francis, Carol Gilbmxson, Delbert Henson, Janice Hasselmap, Genevieve Haugen, Wlllabe Hegge, Jack Heron, Joseph Hunt, Arthur Johnson, Barbara Johnson, Peter Johnson, Rosemary Klassy, Gene Klingberg, Ronald Larson, Eva Markley,Joanne Nest Rona Nyman, Beverly Osmond Nue Oetenson, Tom Perkins, Maxine Peterson, Trudane Peterson, Trude Peterson, James Powers,Roger Powers, DalePrebe, Ellen Rink, Patricia Roehl, Janet Rumage, Richard Serow, Rosalind Sather, Richard Schulze, Darlene Schultz, Donald Sheldon, Marlene Simonson, Marilyn Simoneon, Frank Slaughter, La Verne Sommerfeldt, Esther Swanson, and Patricia Weeks. Mr. Howe was our class advisor for that year. Our class officers included: President, Richard Sarowg Vice President, Helen Damrowg Sec- retary, willabe Hegge, Treasurer, Ellen Rink. Our Student Council Repre- sentative was Helen Damrow. The highlights of the year were, of course, our FTBBHMBD Initiation when we were clad in gunny sacks, men's shoes, lipstick, and baling twine for belts. The next highlight was our return party for the Sophomores. Then there was Homecoming. Our representative in the Queen's Court for Homecoming was Ellen Rink. In 1953, we returned as Sophomores with forty-eight even more in- telligent and sharp-witted students than ever before. In this year we lost DelbertHanson,Jack Heron, Nile Ostenson, Dale Prebe,Richard Schulze, Darlene Schultz, and Patricia Weeks. In their place we gained Charleen Bound, Robert Heinoig, Frances Huber, Nancy Kemps, and Marian Williams. We elected Mr. Howe to be our class advisor with Raymond Farrey acting as our president, Richard Bakke as vice-president, Marian Williams as secretary, and Joanne Neal as treasurer. Genevieve Haugen was our Student Council Representative. Our highlights for this year were the Freshmen Initiation Party, and the return party which was given in our honor. Another highlight was Homecoming, and Marian Williams served in the royal court. Suddenly in 195h. our Junior year boomed before us. We entered Orfordville High School with still forty-seven brilliant students. We lost Joseph Hunt,Trudane Peterson,and Charleen Bound, but gained Richard Laird and Wayne Stluka in their place. Maxine Peterson was transferred to Clinton. Later on in the year we lost James POWCPS. Roger Powers, and Frank Slaughter. Our advisor forthat year was Mr. Pederson. Our officers were: Pres- ident, Ellen Rinkg Vice-President, Peter Johnsong Secretary, Frances Hber and Treasurer, Rona Nyman Janice Hasselman was our Student Council Representative. Our first big event was when we received our class rings, which we thought were just grand. Our second big event of the year was Home- coming, when Frances Huber was chosen to represent the class on the royal court. Next came the Junior Class Play Mambo Jumbo which was presented November 17-18 and which was a big success. The biggest and most important event was the Junior Prom, on May 7. nBlue Hawaii was our theme. Marian Williams reigned as Queen and Arthur Johnson as King. Willabe Hegge, Janice Hasselman, Helen Damrow, and Gerr evieve Haugen reigned in the Queen's Court, and Raymond Fsrrey, Rcllyn Anderson, Wayne Stluka, and Richard Laird reigned in the Klng's Court. Then all too soon came our Senior year. We entered high school with forty-two very intelligent Seniors. During this year we lost only two students. They were Ronald Larson and Marlene Simonson. Our class advisor for this year was Mr. Weaver. The officers were: President, Peter Johnsong Vice-President, Ellen Rinkg Secretary, Bernice Christiansen: and Treasurer, Beverly Densch. Wlllabe Hegge was our Student Council Representative. One main event of dn year was having our senior class pictures taken in Octcberywhichae thought were pretty cool. Also there was Homecoming which was October 21. Our Queen for Homecoming was Willabe Hegge. Helen Damrow served in the royal court. How busy we were working on the annuals in the earlier part of Oct- ober, and no sooner had we got them done and they were gone. Beverly Densch was a very good editor with a very capable staff of assistants. All too soon came our class trip which we willelways remember. Then Baccalaureate Services came, Class night and Graduation. For some of us this all came too soon and now we must leave dear old Orford High and go forth into the PUNK. As we all know someday all good things must come to an end. With this we say, nMay allthe classes in years to follow have as much success and happiness here as we have had. Frances Huber Janet Rumage Me Cla s P opllecy While searching for uranium in the wild, Uooly west, we Ufillabea Hegge and Beverly Densehj made e discovery which changed the whole eourss of our lives. Us came upon a huge bone which further sd to the discovery of a skeleton of e prehistoric monster. Since the demand for prehistoric monster skeletons aes so great.,we cleared fl,999,000.'-79. Not knowing what to do with such a great deal of money we decided to hire a plane and travel around the world. He were fortunate enough to secure the services of a former classmate who is now s world famous wmmn pilot, Carol Ann Gilbertson. After hastily packing Cul' bags we called for a taxi and were glad to see the driver, Janet Humage, who quickly spesded us to the Rock County Airport. In our haste to be off, our bags were forgotten. This unfortunate situation was discovered by the co-pilot, Richard Bakke, who suggested we stop in New York and replace our wardrobe at the famous Sheldon Salon, which is owned and Operated by Donald Sheldon and Sons. After arriving at the Salon and being fitted. we were peatly surprised to see another classmate, Tom Perkins, who was employed U alteration Manager. Having spent most of the day, we decided to stop over for the night. While attending the premiere of the currently released movie 'Gone High The Storm' which starred Robert Heincig and Esther Swenson, we were delighted and surprised to see the world famous columnist end reporter, Laverne Sommerfeldt. We were awakened early the next morning by the gay singing of street cleaner Rosemary Klassy who was vigorously cleaning the street in front of our hotel. Being thus awakened, we boarded our plane again and departed for Emrope, but due to assvere storm we were thrown off course. Suddenly one of our engines quit and we were forced to crash land in the depths of the Bel ian Congo. While Pilot Oilbertson was industriously repairing the engine, we decided to do a little exploring and soon found ourselves in a native village. Much to our surprise, we were greeted by white witch doctor Genevieve Haugen, who was very anxious to eatch up on news from America. After being entertained at e ceremonial feast, we onoe again boarded our plane. Since we were already in Africa, we decided we would stop and visit Dick Laird who was, at the time, in Egypt busily digging up old tombs. Since tomb digging depressed us, we decided to gg to gay Parse' where we rented a small foreign ear and toured the city. ils turning s corner we had a rather unfgrtuggtg accident when a tru t peddler suddenly walked in front ot' our car. Much to our astonishment, we found the fruit peddler to be Helen Demrow. We offered to pay for the damage, but by this time, Policeman Ronald Carroll was already hauling us to court. When we arrived in court and sew the stern eyes of the judge, Rona Nyman, upon us we decided to hire the well-known European Lawyer, Ellen Rink in our defense. Everything turned out all right as all we had to do was buy a pair of glasses for Helen, which we purchased from the noted eye specialist, Royal Cawkins. On our return to our hotel, we found an invitation from the fabulous French socialite, formerly Beverly Osmond, now the wife of one of the world's most prominent men, to attend one of her many parties. When we arrived at their bench Riviera home, we were admitted by the butler, Gene Klingburg, and served refreshments by the maid, Marion Williams. We were also entertained by the fabulous 'Red Notes' Orchestra, whose leader was Wayne Stluka. A special attraction was the vocalist, Nancy Kamps. After leaving the party, we decided to do a little sightseeing and headed for the Eiffel Tower where we were geetsd by one of the guides, Trude Peterson. Now we were ready to depart from Paris. Our next stop was Switzerland. In the short time we were there, we discovered two more famous classmates who had made good--Joanne Neel, a famous mountain climber: and Marilyn Simonson, the Champion Swiss Yodeler. - While on our way to China, our co-pilot was strikenwith appendicitis and we were forced to land in Russia, where we immediately contacted the great Russian Surgeon, Rodney Cawkins, who at once performed the operation Since we were delayed a few days, we decided to call upon the associate Russian Premier, Rosalind Sather, who has made the headlines many times lately by her many attempts to obtain world peace. When we again resumed our travels, we headed once more for the Orient. While walking down a street in Hong Kong we were nearly run over by a jinrikisha drawn by Bernice Christiansen, who seemed to be enjoying her rather unusual occupation. While sight-seeing in China, we discovered the wall-known Johnson, Johnson, k Johnson Construction C mpany Incorporated, consisting of Barbara, Peter and Arthur. They were, at the time, busily repairing the Great Wall Of China. Our time being limited, we departed for India. The first thing we encountered after our arrival was a fascinating snake charmer, Richard Sarow, who was searching for his little lost Bubbles. Bubbles turned out to be a nineteen foot long Boa Constrictor, so we quickly left this area. While still in India, and while taking in the festlvitltim at the Maharajalrs palace, we were astounded by an intricate dance preformed by an exotic dancer who we recognized as former classmate Frances Huber. We were now glad to be on our way once more. We decided to make a short visit to Australia, where we rented a jeep and visited e kangaroo ranch owned and operated by Raymond Farrey. We found kangaroo ranching to be interesting, but we were anxious to reach Hblue' Hawaii. While walking on the beach, we stopped to watch a hula instructor who proved to be none other than Rollyn Anderson. One of his most promising pupils was Eva Markley, who had been taking lessons for quite some time. After acquiring a wonderful tan, we were ready to head for the cold waste lands of Alaska to visit Janice Hasselman, who is a fur trapper and trader in the great northwest. She told us that this season was among her best and if she continues to prosper she will be able to visit the United States and her old home town of Ortordville in the near future. We decided we would now head for the good old U. S. A., and make one 1,55 stop at Las Vagas, Nevada, to visit the Gambling Casino and fabulnm dance hall, nThe Last Resortu, which is run by the notorious blond Donna Amundeon. We left in a hurry, as we were a little short on cash. After arriving home and taking care of our expanses, we decided to take in a circus on what we had left. The main attraction was a high-wire act featuring Patricia Roehl, who made everyone gasp for breath at her death-defying acts. After leaving the circus, we discovered we had 31.37 left between us which we spent at the Cozy Corner for hamburgers and melts. This was the first real American food we had eaten in a long time. We enjoyed our trip very much and were glad to see all our former classmates once again, but we were glad to be home once more to resume our search for uranium. L74 s Poem The class of '56 must say, Good-bye to all our friends today, Good-bye to teachers, parents too, You've helped us stick the four years through. But now before we graduate Let's meet again, each class-mate. Donna Amundson, with a smile. We'll remember her for quite a while, Rollyn Anderson, tall and thin, His humor made yOU laugh at him. Richard Bakke, you might think shy, But look out for the gleam in his eye. Another lively senior was Ronald C. He liked to get into deviltry. Rodney Cawkins, full of foolin', went to Orford but not for sohoolin', The quieter twin was Royal G., He'll still get by as you can see. Bernice Christiansen was quite a girl, Her thoughts were usually in a whirl, Helen Damrow, in all things active, On the Homecoming court was very attractive, Our annual editor, Beverly D., A real hard-working gal was she. Raymond Farrey, much help lent, As Student Council President. Carol Gilbertson speaks ne'er e word, She'd rather be seen end seldom heard. Janice Hasselman it is true, Did her best in whatever she'd do. Genevieve Haugen, tall and sedate, A college life will be her fate, willahea Hegge, a real cute mise, Was Homecoming queen in addition to this. Fu mes Huber, sweet and dark, Her personality had that needed spark. Arthur Jonnson did one msin tning, when he ruled 'Blue Hawaii as Junior Prom King. Barbara Johnson did seem shy, Don't let her fool you, she'll get by. Pete Johnson was the Romeo, With girls in his Ford, away he'd go. Nancy Kemps with short, blond, hair, Never seems to have a care. Rosemary Klaseey was a riot, A quarter to anyone who can keep her quiet. Gene Klingberg, tall with real blond hair, will go many places, but the question is, where. Richard Laird was quite a guy, We all agree he wasn't shy, Eva Markley, red hair had she, And a temper that matched it perfectly. Joanne Neal another class-mate, when it comes to grades, she really did great. Rona Nymen will become, A registered nurse in years to some. Beverly Osmond out up a bit, But not so she ever got caught at it. Tom Perkins, just another one Nho always liked a lot of fun. Trude Peterson, active in all sports, A pretty good guy by most reports. Ellen Rink, a good class leader, Was always there when'ere we'd need her. M53 Pat Roehl we speak about, Will soon be a wonderful wife, no doubt. Janet Rumage next in line, In athletics seemed to shine. Richard Sarow, the one and only, with cars and girls he won't get lonely. Rosalind Sather had the rule, To always complain about the school. Don Sheldon didn't talk much the way it goes, But still water runs deep as everyone knows. Marilyn Simonson dmeys would Get away with all she could. Laverne S. went along his way, And never had too much to say. Wayne Stluka, a mighty fine fellow was he. hedmr noisy or quiet, as changeable as could be The next girl we speak of is Esther S. She always seemed happy, we must confess. Marion Williams was full of fun, She got along with everyone. This is all of our class, we 39 strong, Try not to forget us, when we are gone, For now when we have to say good-bye, We know that we'll miss old Orford High, Janice Hasselman He, He, UI, He, We, He, He, He, He, We, We, we, He, We, We, In T.
