O One bright sunny morning twelve years ago, twenty-nine of us started school. Some of us were happy and gay, some were sad and crying. Our teacher, Miss Grettum, finally brought us under control and got us through our first day of school. During the year, Johnnie Winges and Gerald Grote joined our class. Miss Poegel met us as we entered second grade. Judy Giddings came during the year. Miss Poegal tried to teach us writing and arithmetic. Remember those hard addition and subtraction problems? Some of us found another use for the cloak room that year. In the third grade, our teacher was Miss Baker. Marlen Holmberg and Warren Nelson entered our happy family that year. Arithmetic was becoming even harder: 2 x 2 and 3 x 3, now we were one -fourth of the way through school. Will we make it the rest of the way? Miss Hruby and Miss Hammerstrand were our teachers in the fourth grade. Our new students 's year were Diane Nessel, Roger Lutroe, Leon Kruse, Bill Ferguson. This year our class was ded. My, how we cried to be away from our friends for a whole day. Miss Brask and Miss Underland were our teachers in fifth grade. Jay Gamble entered our class this year. This year we learned about our foreign neighbors and are they neighborly! In sixth grade our teachers were Miss Underland and Mrs. Palbicki. Our class couples this year were Sheila and Jack, and Marie and Paul. This year we learned about our Minnesota Govern- ment. Richard Friday, Gary Miller, and Jack Youngstrom joined our class this year. Our seventh year was a big year for us, we didn't know what to do. Those lockers really pre- sented a problem with combinations to remember, but we made it through anyway. Margaret Lindstrom, LeRoy Shinler, William Peno, and Ronnie Johnson joined our first year of Junior High. In eighth grade we were just getting into the routine of changing classes and getting out ofthe routine of locking lockers. This year Yvonne West, Joyce Oscarson, Julia Rand, Dennis Louden, and Bob Hesslund joined our happy class this year. Remember straddling the board walk over to the History Room in the Chippawa School House. Some were unfortunate and didn't make it over without getting wet. Ninth grade was another busy year. Remember Big Six? The GAJ club was also started this year. Learning how to put on tourniquets, Miss Grundset, the Health teacher, somehow got tied up. Do any of you girls know anything about it? Tenth grade was the year we were considered as Senior High. We were in charge of the Courtesy Ball this year. Remember the fun we had carrying outour theme, fashions, and the colors, pink and black. Glenda VanAlstine joined us this year. We made eleventh grade, only two years left. This was the year we put on the Banquet. Re- member how we wanted a prom, but no go. The Banquet was a success though. This year we presented our Class Play after the snow storm. The play was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court . We finally made it to our last year. We are the upperclassmen now. We, of all Seniors, had to have a rainy skip day. This year our class play was A Double Barrelled Detective Story , which was a success. Forty-five Seniors marched to Pomp and Circumstance on May 27. Some of us were happy and gay, and some were sad and crying. Those who went through twelve years at RCI-IS are: Eugene Anderson, Darlene Carlson, Gor- don Goebel, Helen Grote, Gerald Grote, Sheila Froelke, Marie Froelke, JoAnn Hertenstein, Jay Gamble, Douglas Johnson, Patricia Karas, George LaBelle, Darlene Larson, Harvey Lind, Richard Olson, Betty Schweigert, Sharon Scott, Arnold Uhlig, Rollin Whittaker, Delbert Stanton, John Winges. 12
