Student Body

Recently (late 1997) I looked through the material that I had saved relative to me education and I found what someone had written entitled the Class History — Seniors of 1938. According to this account 50 students entered the first grade in the fall of 1926. Of those 50, ten made it through the twelve grades together: Don Drayer, Dale Hauser, Mary Jane Hoff, Everette Johnson, Philip Lind, Glenda Meyer, Russell Peterson, Carl Strand, Richard Swanson and Ruth Telleen.

In second grade, Annabelle Strough (of the graduating class in 1938) joined us.

In third grade, no one.

In fourth grade, June Telleen, Margaret Hunter and Bill Jones joined.

In fifth grade, John Woodard and Vernon Telleen joined.

In sixth grade, Dale Coffin came in.

In seventh grade, Luther Peterson, Jane Horum, Doris Griffee and Audrey Anderson joined.

In eighth grade, Birdie Swan came in.

In ninth grade, Nina Cooklin joined us.

In tenth grade, Harold Cox, Beulah Parsons and Arlene Zenor came in.

In eleventh grade, Hazel Hamann joined us.

In twelfth grade, Lester Person.

At the fiftieth anniversary party in 1988, as I recall, there were 23 members (of 28) still surviving of which 21 attended. Of the five who had died, I’m quite sure John Woodard, Dale Hauser and Bill Jones were include. I don’t know about the other two. Doris Griffee did not attend.
