The summer of 1953 we moved to Bellevue, Idaho, where my father was the superintendent of schools. This is my 8th grade class. The teacher, Miss Jean Mizer, wrote the story "Cipher in the Snow" which was later made into a very popular church film by the LDS church. She was not LDS. The class members, L to R top row: Noleen Carter, Russell Grandeen (Russ was a member of a religious group called The Followers. They did not believe in doctors. One day summer of 1954 he tipped over his father's tractor severing the artery in his leg. His family gathered around and prayed for him as he bled to death.), Elva Kohler, Rex Roark, Melvin Fisher. Middle, L to R: Teacher Jean Mizer, Jackie O'Donnell (at that time Jack was the american junior national champion trap shooter. We called him quack, quills, and other names that I never understood. He later graduated from West Point and we still correspond to this day.), Kay Rogers, Barry Lauritzen, Shirley Wright, Don Ivie, Jean Lance. Bottom, L to R: Lois Shoemaker, Jack Larson, Joy Ivie, Johnny Pascoe, Karen Williams, Mickey Barker, Gerry Baldwin.
