and soon developed pride and boldness Records hold our future Dorothy Stradtman, Presi- dent; Katherine Johnson, Secretary; Norman Weiske, Treasurer; James Warling, Vice President. Our class hit 120 when school started so naturally there was an increase in teachers; Miss Jordon and Mrs. Mc- Cusky taught English, while Mr. Haugen and Mr. Widmark taught Math. Mrs. McCusky and Mr. Haugen also taught Social Studies and General Science respectively... Soon after school started our class officers were chosen; President Dorothy Stradtman, Vice President Jim Warling, secretary Kathy Johnson, Treasurer Norman Weiske...A class representative was chosen from each section... Homecoming came and we were out to win with our float...trouble was a couple of other classes stole our idea of golfing... Remember the play Section C had to put on...and those costumes...Oh yes, the roller skating party...you never knewwhowould fall down next...never could stop on those wheels...I thank the walls for their support... This year at our Halloween party we had a program instead of races...it was a real hit with the kids...wonder who the clown was that sat in all the teachers laps..Could it have been Jim Warling? The junior-high claimed half the chairs in band with 14 from the 8th grade alone...we all practice hard for the trip we've planned... The boys and girls glee clubs practiced hard for the Christmas concert, coming all decked out in white shirts and blouses and black bows at the neck... Fashions were Bermuda shorts and knee length stock- ings...some were worn for warmth others for fad... The 8th grade basketball team really came through with some nice scores... This being an age for space and planets we called our paper The Flying Saucer ...Mr. Williams guided us and we chose Kathy Johnson as Editor-in-chief with Carmen Broughten and Nancy Peterson as her assistants... Money collectors were Noel Dodge, Suzie Wagner, and Menseth Hage...Our senior typist was Karen Bergman... All in all we must admit we really had fun...but now we are looking forward to becoming Freshman as we move towards our goal... ROW 1: G. Beckius, S. Anderson, C. Albaugh, O. Fred- erickson.S.

and explored in new fields We have just begun. Joan Wang, Vice President; Nancy Anderson, Secretary; Steven Strommen, Treas- urer; James Luther, President. Deep in thought. At last we are in Junior High! What fun it is to go from one room to another for classes..As leaders of our class of 95 members, we chose James Luther, President, Joan Wang, Vice President, Steve Strommen, Treasurer, and Nancy Anderson Secretary... Making our first float proved to be quite enjoyable... It didn't quite win a prize, but we learned a lot and may- be next year we will win that prize...The nine band members from our class really made us proud... Remember all those panel discussions we had in Mr. William's class? Instead of the usual games at our Halo- ween party this year we had a big program...Our atten- dants for the Halloween party, Alice, Delbert, Dick, Nancy, Judy, and Larry, made us very proud! The king and queen were chosen from the eighth grade... Through our newly formed Tab Book Club , we were given a chance each month to buy the latest books... What an honor it was when Joel Ball’s Christmas story was chosen for the Saints Reporter... Those house plans we drew in math class may not have been too practical, but we had loads of fun doing it... Remember that style show in which the Home Ec. girls showed off their handwork? The industrial arts boys, not to be out done, had their night to show off their work al- so... The dagger scene in the movie Romeo and Juliet was one that we really got a big chuckle out of...The combination of Leap Year and Valentines Day set us all in a dither--but what fun we had! Before we knew it we were no longer little green seventh graders, but important eighth graders... SEVENTH GRADE; ROW 1: D. Berg, A. Bartsch, D. Edgerton, M. Froslan, C. Blekestad, S. Curry, S.
