CLASS HISTORY As time goes on, in addition to looking forward to the future, we look back- ward over our shoulders at the road which has enabled us to progress thus far. The old white building was our house of learning for our adventurous first year, and there we were divided into two groups. There are so many things to ing, king and queen leaders of our recess line, phonics and reading played important parts in our daily development. In anticipation we entered the newly constructed grade school for our second year, and there we were divided into two groups. There are so many things to remember about our early school years. Can we forget the Laura Wilder books. White Saddle or The Boxcar Children? We cannot forget the cookies and the candy which were rewards for excellent spelling papers. Fifth grade brought the band into our lives, and with sixth grade came our re-division into three groups with change of teachers for each class. In seventh grade we returned again to the old white building for classes with the same spirit of closeness, fun, and parties that we had when we started first grade there. With eighth grade came promotion and the much dreaded constitution tests, and then, time pushed us off to high school! Very much humbled by the upperclassmen, we ninety-four freshmen learned that high school, indeed, was a different experience to be tried. We took on new responsibilities, gained knowledge and friends. We elected class officers: Carolyn Parks, president; Terrance Drauden, vice-president; Diana Stogsdill, secretary; and Paul Clarkson, treasurer. September of 1957 began our school year in the brand new high school. It was in this year that we began our mad search for money. Each dime from our cloakroom concession added until we were able to count the dollars. Officers for this year were Carolyn Parks, president; David Needham, vice-president; Donald Smiley, secretary; and Paul Clarkson, treasurer. Sharon Bronk was sopho- more attendant to the homecoming queen. As juniors we operated the refreshment concession to earn money for the prom. We worked selling candy and hot dogs and sponsored dances after basket- ball games. We were successful, too, for everyone enjoyed our banquet and prom, Winter Wonderland held May 15. Our guiding officers were Martha Sandberg, president; Garrett Johnson, vice-president; Russell Stenzel, secretary; and Brian Wood, treasurer. Lynda Lietzow was honored by being the junior class attendant at the homecoming dance. Class members who were interested in the thespian art produced the play, The Birds and the Boys. New organizations were formed in the school during our junior year, and we eagerly joined them. Another big event was the arrival of our class rings. On August 31, 1959, we began our senior year, sadly, for time has gone so quickly and we would have liked to linger in uncomplicated school days. Our class officers for this year were David Needham, president; Rodger Judy, vice- president; Sharon Bronk, secretary; and Brian Kasch, treasurer. Homecoming was the first event to rush upon us. How proud we were to crown our exquisite queen, Pamela Smith, with Martha Sandberg as her senior attendant. As future adult citizens we thought about our future, and the college bound worried their way through several scholarship tests. In anticipation we planned our senior trip to Washington, D.C. We sponsored a leap year dance in February to celebrate the extra day in 1960. We enjoyed, too, presenting our senior play, The People Versus Maxine Lowe. As spring came in earnest, we thought of the prom with curiosity. The theme remained a mystery to us until the big night of May 14. Graduation suddenly became a reality as we donned our caps and gowns. Of those sixty-four chil- dren who began first grade together in 1948, there were twenty-five still with us plus the other familiar faces who had joined us through the years.
