December 20 The last day of school before Christmas vacation. To top everything off we had a big party sponsored by the F. H. A. and F. F. A. My, how some of those underclassmen girls get around! January 1 Just thought I’d remind you. January 6 Ho, Hum! Back to school again. Fresh as a daisy? January 17 Those exams are really tough. Just think, one semester gone already. February 11 The Juniors played host to the school in a party tonight! What was it I heard about those Frosh lassies? Huh? February 19, 20 Why didn’t you come to the Basketball Tournament, Myrt? Blair played Holmen for Champs and brother what a game. F inai score—Blair 46, Holmen 23. March 14 The Band and Glee club showed their talent in skillful note handling in a wonderful performance today. You know, I believe we have some real Lauritz Melchiors and Rise Stevens in our midst. Good luck, lucky ones. April 1 April Fool’s Day (as if you didn’t know). April 17, 22 Yippe! Easter Vacation for the sum of five whole days. Shh! Now listen, kids. Don’t all cry at once. April 22 Oh! What a crowd out tonight. Must have been something big on the horizon. Yes, Myrtle, the Seniors gave their mystery play. I wonder what all the play cast were doing on the other side of La Crosse afterwards. May 2 Is everyone still alive for the day after the night before? Toot those horns good kids. Art Kassel wants another player in the brass section. May 9 Everyone pulls his year-before-last formal out of the moth balls and enjoys the Junior Prom. You know, Myrt, that short kid with the yellow hair and the glasses—that’s HIM all right. We were home early though because his mother said he couldn’t stay out after 10:30. May 15, 16 Cross your fingers, toes, anything, Seniors ’cause you’re going to need it for exams coming today and tomorrow. Why worry they'll pass us—that is anyway they’d better. May 18 Tonight Baccalaureate services at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. Rev. O. T. Haaland. May 19 Well Seniors, eat your plenty ’cause we may never get a holiday on Salem High again. Myrt, you should have seen those kids eat hamburgers. Those turns came in handy, didn’t they, fellows? May 20, 21 The rest of the school has the battle with the brains today. May 23 Commencement tonight, so Farewell Alma Mater. May 29 Today was the big day in the lives of 38 Seniors. With everyone packed in cars at 9:30 we headed for Canada. The battle call “Port Arthur or bust” was the order of the day. Page Twenty

 Mcuuf Mo nl August 31 Dear Myrtle. We heard rumors that thirty-seven Freshmen enrolled at 10:00 a. m. Can hardly wait to get a look at them. September 2 Wc got a look at those “Freshies” today. Remember four years ago? Our knees were shaking too. September 3 School really started —if you don’t believe it, take a gander at these assignments! September 13 The first party of the school year, sponsored by the Seniors, really went off with a BANG—didn’t it? Some of the Junior girls should know—eh Jo? October 5 Our band played for the Youth for Christ program. Didn’t it sound good though? October 8 Today Mr. Glasrud, our coach and science teacher, is leaving to become principal at Holmen. October 9 Today we met Mr. Goodspeed! Students, meet your future COACH and SCIENCE teacher! Need we say more? October 11 Take a good look at all those hairdo’s. What’s cooking? The Seniors are having their pictures taken at La Crosse. By the way, how much does a new camera cost? October 25 Our Freshmen boys looked cute dressed in nightgowns, boots, and stocking caps. Weren’t the girls sweet in patched shorts, boots, and hair ribbons? Those “Sophs” really have ideas for mixers, too, don’t they? November 4 All people who attended the Junior class play “Growing Pains,” really thought it was super. Miracles do happen! Just ask Mrs. Sanders and Miss Anderson. November 6, 7, 8 Just one half day of school today, November 6. Yippie! No school now until Monday. Teachers’ Convention! The teachers go to school and study while we stay home. Must be getting too smart or something. November 8 Cheerleader tryouts. Those making us hoarse this year will be Elizabeth Powers, Bonnie McEldowney, and David Hoff. November 15 Salem won a thriller over at Bangor tonight. Final score was 30-29. November 21 Everyone’s studying! The end of another six weeks couldn’t be drawing near could it? November 25 Much to our enjoyment Hanley presented his marionettes starring in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” November 28, 29 What? Another vacation? Well—we’re still happy to be excused for Thanksgiving. December 13 After journeying to Holmen, we experienced a thrilling game with our “mighty five” ahead until the final minutes. Final score, Holmen 32, West Salem 30. December 19 Tonight our grades and high school presented a lovely Christmas program. Santa reminds us of days when we were young, doesn’t he? Page Nineteen
