BUT ALSO FROM THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES Pictured above is one of the ten swimming classes for adults held during the year. This is Mr. Wetzel's beginning swimming. Our pool was a tremendous success, averaging nearly 3500 persons per month. This did not count the Phy. Ed. and G.A.A. classes during the day. Other guards included Miss Russell, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. Edgar Anderson, Ellen Carstenson, and Mrs. Lowell Koch. This welding class was but one of many classes offered adults during the year. Everything from survival preparedness to blueprint reading attracted several hundred adults. The lights of STJHS burned often and late. FACULTY: Robert Gunderson, Jon Paulson, Milton Wetzel, Arnold Veglahn, Paul Thompson. Missing are Marvin Gun- derson and John Greenslit.
