The Good Old Days Once upon a time, the year 1976 was a dream away, and the kindergarten class of '64 was a reality in which the social pressures of what to bring for Show and Tell, or who to sit by at milk break was the main concern of a hundred 6-year-olds. Today, those same 6-year-olds, now 18, look back on the year 1964 as being a dream away, and the graduating class of '76 as becoming more distinct and fo- cused. The pressures may have changed some (altho' we still worry about what to show and what to tell); however, the people themselves have had 12 years to strengthen relationships and to build friendships... 12 years of laughter, tears, and understanding, growing, love. As sophomores, we first began to make our imprint at PRHS. Now, we were hot stuff--able to partici- pate in Sr. High dances and try out for the big band, choir, and athletic teams. Always eager to be unique, we proved ourselves capable of following thru with some of our crazy ideas by taking 1st place in Homecoming float competition with our flying eagle. Cheering the Mighty Vikes on to victory along with the crowd were our attendents Cheryl Rollie, and Suzie Velo, with their escorts, Dave Ditch, and Steve Westby. Presiding over our class that year were Dave Ditch, Pres; Steve Westby, V. Pres; Jack Haugrud, Sec; Suzie Velo, Treas; and Lee Brenna, Student Council Rep. Our junior year was one of challenge and conquest. Bringing us thru were Kris Peterson, Pres; Paul Albright, V. Pres; Ann Larsen, Sec; Cheryl Rollie, Treas; and Sylvia Pfiefle, SCR. Homecoming attendents and escorts were Cheryl Rollie, Terry Glaesman, Jack Haugrud, and Paul Bakken. Sky- rocketing over $8000 in magazine sales, the funds resulting from our efforts were used to put our prom theme A Time For Us into motion as we decided to create our own image of the perfect dance. De- spite the hassles of obtaining decoration committee passes, having enough blue streamers (in 5 shades), and being awe-struck at seeing our highlighted hourglass shatter at the last moment, we made it a memorable prom, (nobody really missed the punch, anyway) All of a sudden, we were Seniors. We were the class that everybody supposedly looked up to for su- preme guidance and steadfast examples. Could we actually bear up to our expectations? That probably still remains to be seen; altho', you must admit, we put our best foot(s?) forward. Homecoming '75 was momentous from the time that our float wrestled with a tree, (the tree won; none-the-less, we took 2nd place), to the crowning of Queen Suzie, attended by Cheryl Rollie and Kim Hanson, with the escorts Gene Ripley, Paul Bakken, John Lund, and Dave Ditch, to the last-second defeat of the Hawley Nuggets. Our class officers Jack Haugrud, Pres; Patty Johnson, V. Pres; Kris Fossen, Sec; Rick Mayfield, Treas; and Dave Ditch, SCR; have led us thru the trials and tribulations as well as our growth spurts and our moments of togetherness. And here we are, taking our last look around the halls of PRHS and holding on to all the warm memo- ries. .. not wanting to let go, but at the same time, realizing that when we do let go, it won't mean a separation, but a stronger bond between us.. .between our friends of yeaterday--like Earl--, our friends of now, and our friends of tomorrow. Bonds thru sharing the same smiles, crying the same tears, dreaming the same dream. We wish you... and each other... many more good old days and love, The Spirit of '76
