PHOTOGRAPHY BY GAYLORD Confirmation Held Sunday A service of Confirmation was held at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran chruch, 404 North Green street, Sunday for members of the eighth grade Confirmation class. The students processed to the front of the church to par­ ticipate in the service. They knelt individually to receive the Confirmation blessing from Pastor Roger Schneider and to recite a personal Bible verse. The service served as a culmination of a two-year period of study during which the students studied the Ten Commandments, the Apostles Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the sacrament of Holy Baptism, the sacrament of Holy Com­ munion, and Bible history. The members of the eighth grade class will continue their Christian education through participation in the "Senior Special" class for teen-agers after worship service and through the activities of the Luther League. The following members of the class participated in the con­ firmation service: Wayne Besserud, James Boelens, Tricia Boyd, Paul Fetier, Tammy Fluger, Ronald Giagnoni, James Haddick, Cheryl Hansen, Marcia Heneise, Judy Honning, Tammy King, Laura Kottke, Roberta Lindahl, Margo Lund, Terry Mai, Lisa Mowrer, Michael Schmaling, Marie Schneider, Julie Tibbs, Richard Wimmer Jr., and Alane Zinke.

Some stayed the whole time but others claimed there were Indians so stayed only one night. Others came for the campfire and good food. "Our" team won the volleyball tournament. No one was fast enough to catch any "snipes" on the snipe hunt. One group got smart and left their leaders in the bushes! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the ac­ cordion music furnished by Reinhold Hohmann and the lovely singing by his wife, Trudy. Camp-out will be continued next May CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATES!

Our apologies if we have missed anyone. FORMER RESIDENTS VISIT Ed and Marion Kane, now of Connecticut, were back for a visit in our community last week. They were accompanied by their son, Pat, who recently graduated at Bloomington, and daughter, Susan. Four years was a lot of time to catch up during the short stop they made with Art and Katy Christopher. They extended greetings to those friends they were not able to see.
