Jim Anderson ’63
My older brother had to stay home with either the mumps or yellow jaundice, so I was able to attend Murdo’s first game of the 1954 state tourney held in the Aberdeen Civic Center. I can still recall a couple of “sleeper plays” that Provo used late in the game to ice the win. Did they allow smoking in the arena in those days? It seemed very hazy inside that building as father and I watched the game.
Gregg J. Brunskill ’59 Glorious Mud
I enjoyed Mrs Evelyn Kuhrt’s world history and some of the classics of English literature. Mrs Kuhrt had a conniption in front of the principal’s office because she wanted boys to take typing instruction (normally only girls took typing). I benefited from this conniption and decades later I was grateful to be able to touch type on computer keyboards (which were not even invented then).
Paul Anderson ’32 AS I REMEMBER IT
The superintendent my first two years (1928-30) was Mr Janda—6’2” and 300 pounds, at least. No one argued with him at all. He taught 4 classes of mathematics and coached all athletic teams besides his superintendent work. I sang in the glee club and was out for basketball all four years. I got to go clear to Wood with the second team once. I also went out for football my senior year when I had grown to 110 pounds! I got to go to Winner to run the chain, too.

How many recall hearing the explosion at the Thune house over noon one school day? Someone blew the stuffing out of a foot stool. Was it a .20 gauge or a 12 gauge? Billy Sorensen did the same thing to a wall at his house—a .20 gauge I think.
