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.
