Class History

As we entered our freshman year in 19 61, our class was pretty excited about start-
ing our high school education.

We started our first year with thirty- one stud e nts consisting of fourteen boys and
seventeen girls. In our freshman year, our class officers were Mary Maassen , president;
Patsy Keller, vice - president; and Roger Smith, secretary-ueasurer. We had Mr. Lane
and Mr. Beckham for our class sponsors.

Our homecoming float was entitled "Our Secret Weapon" which won third prize.
Our representative for homecoming queen was Carol Griffith.

All things considered, our freshman year was an enjoyable year for each and
every one of us.

Our sophomore year was started with thirty- one shining faces. This year we
thought we were pretty smart because now we were not just "green freshmen." Our
class officers consisted of Dennis Rid nous, president; Larry Bussow, vice-president; and
Loren Luth, secretary- treasurer. Our sponsors fo r this fun-fil led yea r were Mr. Myers
and Mrs. Biesemeyer. Our homecoming float was "Let' s Cut 'Em to Pizzas" and the
queen's attendant from our class was Linda Christense n.

Our junior year was the busiest year for us. We started the yea r with thirty- four
students. First, we had to choose class officers which consisted of Don Towne, presi-
dent; Tom McIntosh, vice-president; Linda Christensen, secretary; and Sally Krummel,
treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Kelly, Mrs. Kreis, Mr. Myers, and Miss Elsensohn.
For homecoming, we built a float entitled "Hottest Team Going" which took second
prize . Our representa.tives for the homecoming royalty were Mary Maassen and Roger
Sorensen. Our class play "Dear Diary" was a success thanks to Mrs. Bigelow and Miss
Elsensohn. Everyone had a lot of fun at rehearsals and the slave auction. The Junior -
Senior Prom which had the theme of "App le Blossom Time" was the highlight of the
year. That is one night which none of us will ever forget.

As you can see, the junior year was a very enjoyable year and one which will not
be forgotten .

To start our final year at "dear Wal nut High, " we had a party for the freshmen to
start the m on their way to four fun - filled years. Our class officers were Dale Andersen,
president; Roger Sorensen, vice- president; Ma ry Maassen, secretary; and Carol Griffith,
ueasurer. Our float, which naturally took first prize, was entitled "Walnut Lowers the
Boom . " Our candidates for queen were Ellen Madson, Janet Craney, and Carol Griffith.
Candidates for king were Dennis Ridnour, Dale Andersen, and Dale Clayton . Of these
candidates, Ellen Madson and Dale Clayton were crowned King and Quee n. Skip Day
was also one of the main highlights of the year. We went to Kansas City and I am sure
each senior had a very enjoyable time. Our graduation brings all of our fun as well as
our problems to a peak. Graduation is our final activity in school. I am sure each one
of us has waited for their graduation day, but I am sure also that in the years to come
we will look back and remember many of our high school days and activities.
