Karen Lindquist, ’77
We were fortunate to be able to vote to have an 8th Grade Graduation Ceremony or a class swimming party at the White River, we all chose the swimming party. Only in MURDO could my Mom and Dad load up a bunch of kids in the back of our pickup and drive to the White River along with more kids in with our Teacher Mr. Daum. It was a lot of fun. Times have changed.
One memory of Homecoming was Mr McKernan had Rattlesnake as an option at the Concession Stand.
One day as Juniors, we were to order the supplies for Prom decorations, one of our classmates was home sick and she had the catalogs to pick out the items. I told my teacher I needed to drive to her house to get the catalogs. Teacher said fine. By the time I reached my car outside of the High School, there were 6 or 7 classmates who jumped in my car to go along. Guess who we met on the road on the way back to High School, our Superintendent, Mr. Donahue. When we ran to the top of the stairs at High School Mr. Applebee was standing there directing us all to go straight to his office.
Don’t forget the Rompers the girls had to wear for P.E. For some reason they were red and Mr. Thune handed them out at the beginning of the year. I had to find a picture from the 40’s and 50’s online to remind you.
All and all I love my classmates and all the fun and mischief we got into! Thanks for all the memories and I hope to see you all at the All Class Reunion this summer!
