SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 30, 1943 fifteen little demons came tripping through the gates of Primghar Grade School and up to the Kindergarten room patroll- ed by Miss Betty Flinders. This was the day of days and these little demons were: Barb Cassidy, Pat Wagner, Judy Schultz, Jeanette Hopkins, Bev Peterson, Clarisse Kamrath, Betty Peckham, Janet Hagenbucher, Betty Fortner, Don Davis, Gaylon Fear, Wayne Hardin, Daryl Hofmeyer, Delbert Mathieson and Rocky Nicholson. At the end of this year we lost Jean- ette Hopkins, Betty Ann Peckham, Betty Fortner, Gaylon Fear and Bev Peterson who was beginning her journey to other schools.

They were: Barb Cassidy, Don Davis, Charles Fjeld, Janet Hagenbucher, Wayne Hardin, Daryl Hofmeyer, Clar- isse Kamrath, Delbert Mathieson, Rocky Nicholson, Judy Schultz, Larry Smith, Pat Wagner, Betty Sheridan and Joan Rozendaal.

By the time third grade rolled around, Bob Smith and Larry Smith had left us for the second grade and Charles Forman and Betty Peckham had moved away. We were joined by Caroline Kelly, LeRoy Trower, Loren Zoet and Don Greenlee.

The eighteen little fourth graders were: Don Davis, Rodney Dornbusch, Charles Fjeld, Don Greenlee, Wayne Hardin, Daryl Hofmeyer, Jim Kammerer, Delbert Mathieson, Rocky Nicholson, John Smith, LeRoy Trower, Clyde Kramme and Burdette Menke.
