Gregg J. Brunskill ‘ 59 from Glorious Mud.
“My grandparents bought me a new Olds Raphael Mendez trumpet, which was easier to play than my uncle’s old Silver Conn horn.” I helped to form a school jazz band ( The Hungry Seven) so we could play for local dances in our regional small towns. I also played Taps with the local VFW Riflemen and Color Guard at dozens of small town lonely cemeteries on Memorial Day.”
Paul Anderson ’32 from As I Remember It.
In 1928 not very many farmer boys went to high school, but my folks always insisted that we were all to go on to school. I really don’t know why they decided to send us boys to Murdo, instead of Draper but they did. I was the smallest and undoubtedly the most frightened boy in Murdo that eventful fall day. Pa had made arrangements for Bryan Schaeffer who ran Francis-Schaeffer Hardware store, for me to work for my room and board. My big sisters had convinced me that I had to take my books home every night to study. I did survive, however, and by the end of the week had made many new friends and hardly wanted to go home.

I can still see Harvey Deidtrich standing in front of his math, physics/chemistry classes playing his imaginary violin when we complained about homework. And who was it that put the copy of PLAYBOY in the study hall magazine rack after they had ripped the cover off?

Evelyn Kuhrt was our class advisor ( class of ’56). When we built a float we worked all week on it. We worked on the float in Kuhrt’s garage. One night 2 or 3 boys went into the house and raided the refrigerator. The class was in trouble the next day as they had eaten Bill’s lunch. and the Kuhrt’s could not go to the store to replace the ingredients for the lunch.
