The day that one begins his twelve years of school is exciting and thrilling beyond any conception of adults. Twenty-eight boys and girls appeared before Miss Cleo English on that unforgetable day, September 2, 1930. These young hopefuls were: Freddie Arnold, Joseph Busse, Bertha Ann Cottrell, Annette Dahle, Wallace Ebner, Walter Ebner, Homer Eggen, Delores Eggert, Betty Gunderson, Stanley Hanson, Catherine Haugen, Wallace Haugen, Edna Hovde, Doris Humble, Wilbert Jelberg, Ruby Johnson, Edna Lou Kierland, La Verne Lee, Malter Quamen, Donald Rollins, Clarence Sorum, Paul Stehly, Donald Stoyke, Donald Swenson, Elaine Tenborg Searle Tofstad, Donald Woxland, and Louise Zable. At the end of the year most of us were promoted to second grade. Prom that time on we were almost through playing with blocks and doll houses such as we had in first grade because by our second year we had begun an earnest study of reading, spelling, and numbers. During the years of elementary school twenty-four classmates left our group: Freddie Arnold, June Bachman, Edward Bather, Louise Berry, Joseph Busse, Annette Dahle, Delores Eggert, Arnold Glenna, Betty Gunderson, Stanley Hanson, Edwin Hatlelie, Evelyn Hatleli, Catherine Haugen, Wallace Haugen, Wilbert Jelberg, Ruby Johnson, Leslie Melgard, Malter Quamen, Clarence Sorum, Elaine Tenborg, Vernon Valentine, Morris Waadevig, Joseph Wang, and Louise Zable. Seventeen had joined our class during this time: Marvin An- derson, Sidney Arnold, Harold Bladine, Francis Budmon, Rockwell Carlson, Leland Haugen, Lyle Iverson, Orrin Klungtvedt, Elaine Olson, Henry Rockne, Elaine Stephenson, John Stevens; Curtis Swenson, Donald Swenson, Gatriel Thompson, Mildred Thorud, and Ralph Swenningson. In the grades our class was always noted for one thing or another. We early showed signs of being different and talented. At one time in our career we were known as the Fighting Fifth . Whatever that mi it have meant, you may figure out. Athlotic and musical ability cropped out here and there among us until by the time we were eighth graders, we had several members on the athletic teams and in the band. Whatever we may have been known for, none can say that we lacked vitality or personality. At any rate, we enjoyed our elementary school days, and we trust that the teachers remembered only the good qualities about us. I
