Fl I5 AJ-ISS N-.5 . 4 . ,v il' GUI' Twelve Years It was way back in the fall of 1937 that twelve bright, confused stu- dents Walked into the lower hall of R. H. S. to start their twelve-year tour! Well, those twelve years are over and there are now sixteen bright, intel- ligent students but only five of the original are left-Marian Chalma, Marilyn Hetland, Ann Wells, Judean Weltha, and David Sowers. Going back to first grade and working up, Mr. N. E. Quam was our superintendent through sixth grade, when he joined the American Red Cross. Mr. Bondhus started the seventh year but because of the shortage of help during the war, he was forced to go back to his farm. Taking his place was Mr. Minert, who was with us through those green freshman days. Our present superintendent, Mr. Devine, was there to greet us that first day of our sophomore year and is with us to bid goodbye this last day of our senior year. Our individual class teachers were Miss Welch fwhat memories?J, who started us off t-o a good start ont our way. Miss Strader, took us the next year, passing us onto third grade where Miss Thomsen received us, Robert Erickson became a permanent member of the class this year. Miss Iver- son taught us our fourth grade and it was this year that Philip Romp joined us. Miss Lindberg stayed with us through fifth and sixth, and Miss Evans through seventh and eighth. Jo Ann Olson joined us this seventh year. Our music teachers includ-ed Miss Ingerbritson for first grade, Mr. Field for second, third, and fourth, Miss Donhowe for fifth and sixth, and Miss Hoffman for seventh and eighth. During these eight years we were allowed a half hour -each day for Bible training. Miss Gertrude Larson taught us the first seven years and Miss Priscilla Olson, eighth. We finished the eighth grade with a bang, each getting a gold pin with QR. J. H.-19451, complete with a banquet presented to us by the seventh grade. The receiving of our eighth grade diplomas topped off the year. Here We are, Freshmen, but one might think worse if they had seen the boys wearing dress-es and ribbons, the girls wearing night g-owns, both shoeless. This year many new members came into our class-Andrew Alfseike, Delores Durby, LaVonne Mickelson, Gaylord Oppedal, Marlene Peterson, Lloyd Thompson and Marvin Thompson. Our freshmen teach- ers were Mr. Ness, general science, Mrs. Cook, Englishg Mrs. Henryson and Mr. Risdal, algebra, home economics, Mrs. Henryson and Mrs. Blunt, shop 12
