Alamo - Alamo - Rah Rah Rah

Let's hear it for the Alamo Cheerleaders!!!

Surely someone out there can do better than this video! What we need is for a few of our ex-cheerleaders to put on a reunion show - and record it.

Dance Band

I'm sure there were a number of dance bands over the years in and around Alamo. Does anyone out there remember this particular band and the approximate year? I do recall that Cliff Gronfer played in one or more version. And were there there any high school bands or groups that played outside the school setting?

Class of 1938

My aunt Pearl Hagen White appears to have been a member of the Class of 1938. I'm assuming that there are more young ladies than men because guys tended to not finish high school in that era? Also shown is a more recent picture of the Classes of 1938-40. Can someone help name everyone?

Class of 1960

Although I visited with Marilyn and Arnie in August, my camera was out of memory so I didn't get a current picture of two members of the Class of 1960. But I did get a look at Marilyn's picture album which was filled with many school related pictures from that time. So please, Marilyn, share those pictures - along, of course, with a recent picture of you and Arnie. Marilyn and Beverly Johnson are shown in an earlier post (Class of 1959).

Band Trip to Regina

Our band trips were a lot of fun and we can thank Mr. Gronfur and the band boosters for their support. It gave many of us travel experiences that we would never had on our own. It is sad that the small schools have closed and there are so few bands left in the community. For some reason I don't have many pictures of our trips. I'll have to dig a little deeper!

4-H at Sogard's Summer 1958

Pictures from a 4-H meeting at Elmer and Melva Sogard's farm in summer 1958. The first picture includes Susan Sogard, Sorgard's farm dog, Jean Anderson and Gayle Hagen.

The second picture includes members Marilyn Lund, Peggy Lohse, Pearl Nygaard, Pam Nygaard, Marilyn Hagen? with head down, Unknown with head down, Susan Sogard, Orlyn Egge, Marilyn Monger, Diane Lohse, Cynthia Soiseth, Jean Anderson and Martha Millard.

The third picture include Bernice Hagen, Alma Monger, Donna VanBerkum and Thora Millard.

One of our many 4-H meetings where we were probably preparing our projects for the fair. I remember Marilyn and I would wait until the last minute to finish our entries. The one thing that has come in handy was learning how to iron a shirt! Someone had to demonstrate the correct technique and little did I know at the time that it would be useful!
