As I was waiting for the ship, I chanced to meet my classmates of 1959. First to come into the lobby was John Minneart. John, it seems, owns a large farm north of Ramona. He said he had been working hard and decided to take a vacation. He left his two hired hands to take care of the farm, and his wife to take care of the family. Next it was Bob Stewart who bought a ticket. Bob is a dignified proprietor of a TV Shop. His reason for taking the trip was to carry on an invention of his own. Duane Bernstein came swinging through a door. When it closed the words on it read: Control Room. He was head radar man of the specific station. Duane always had a knack for being important. John Habeger was next, he is the County Agent of Ramona County. His purpose for taking this trip was to visit the Agent on the new planet. They are working on an inter-planetory weed control project. Clinton Tolley intered the lobby looking like a sad old person without a friend in the world. He is chief engineer of a manufacturing Company. He was on his way to Anomar to get away from his wife. Bob Boyda is now the proprietor of the Brown Derby. Bob's cooking ability has made him the success that he is. George Deneke, it seems, was taking this trip in hopes of contracting a few jobs on the planet. He is the owner of a construction Company located in Sioux Falls. He had planned to stop in Ramona to visit his wife's parents. Dennis Driscoll was the next to purchase a ticket. He is now teaching school. During the summer months he manages a Jr. Legion baseball team. He wondered about the possibility of organizing the little men on Anomar. Earl Arnold, it seems is busy driving at Indianapolis Speedway. He is a topmatch driver I was told. His wife, a former Airline Stewardess is an ardant Race track enthusiast and keeps Earl in rigid training. Bob Manthey was the surprise of them all. He is now a Major in the Air Force stationed in Sioux Falls. He can manipulate a plane as well as he did his Plymouth. We were all surprise to see Mrs. Mindt. She is a Dr. of History at N. Dakota State Teachers College. She is making this trip as a member of a special committee of Mid- west History teachers interested in life on the new planet. At this time the Public Address system was heard- Now loading at Gate 7 for Anomar,- All space travelers. What a day; here we were again as we were ten years ago. Starting a new life of excitement. Senior Class History Four years ago, one morning in September in 1955, 13 students started a new life. A life that would last a wonderful four years. The life of a high school student. Yes, the freshman. Beginning our first step of our new life we chose Mr. Lang as our step-father and Ronnie Carsruad as our play yard captain. We had a real job ahead of us, and we started it with great enthusiasm. After weathering initiation, we had it made. We decided to take a rest. During our rest we recalled all the events of our first year and also looking forward to the coming year. After our rest we took our second step. This time we chose Mr. Bundlie as our step- father and Mr. Bundlie as our play yard captain. We lost four classmates over the vacation period: Bob Strang, Ronnie Carsruad, Larry Christenson, and Claude Jaton. This year not being as hectic we decided to take our second rest. Starting our third year we chose Mr. Hofer as our step-father and Carol Meyer as our play ground captain (ess). John Habegar was a new classmate. Our play was the important thing this year The name Friday the Thirteenth. It was a success in our estimation. In our fourth year we chose Mr. Clyde as our leader and George Deneke as our play ground captain. We lost a classmate Carol Meyer. Our annual was the main stay of the year. Our class play, Lucifer's Lodge, was given to help our skip day. Skip day is to be held on May 7-8. Plans to camp out in the Black Hills are in the offing. The year went quickly with Baccalaureate May 10 and Commencement May 14. Senior Will We the senior class of 1959, Ramona High, Lake County, South Dakota, leave this will and testament to those who are to follow us. To the Faculty, we leave all that is possible. The wonderful memories of us, and finally the courage to face the coming Seniors. To the junior class our seniority, may they guard it with their life, and become aware of its prominence in their final year. To the sophomore class we will our stubby pencils, paper and anything they find in our desks. To the freshman class we will everything we have not yet willed, and the ability to study as we did. To Tom Gale all our clean ways, may the incoming students uphold our standards. I, Bob Manthey, will my agreeableness to Danny Meyers, and my taxi service to Ronnie Behrends. I, John Minneart, will my ability to play B. B. to George Brinkman, and my ability to get along with girls to Bill H. I, Dennis Driscoll, will my ability to play the bass horn to Roger S. and the piano to Diana Kontz. I, Duane Bernstein, will my ability to get along with Mrs. Van Hove to George Brinkman and Dick C. I, John Habeger, will my ability to play football to David Hammer. I, Bob Boyda, will my long hair to Roger Matson and my desk to my brother, Ronnie. I, Bob Stewart, will my ability to type to Duane Hanson, and my ability to get out of study hall to Genevieve D. I, Earl Arnold, will my drinking ability to Maynard L. and my Whatt Earp draw to George Brinkman. I, Clinton Tolly, will my ability to high jump to Ron Behrends and my good nature to Carol B. I, Ester Mlndt, will my office hours to Marian Johnson, and my ability to get along with eleven boys in a class to anyone (un) lucky enough to be faced with the situation. D. HANSON D. KONTZ J.
