Rosholt High celebrates 75th anniversary

Rosholt High School celebrated its 75th anniversary Sunday, Oct. 22, with an open house of the school facility and program.

The program in the auditorium included a videotape of the Rosholt alumni band performing, selections from the high school/alumni choir and the high school band.

Jim Stoltenberg, a graduate in the class of 1939, spoke on "Reflections of Rosholt High School, and Clarence Myhra, who left school to serve in World War II, received his diploma under a state program authorizing the diplomas for veterans who had left school for World War II service.

Members of the Future Homemakers of America put on a "Vintage Fashion Show" showing clothing worn through the various decades of the school's existence.

Displays in the east "old" gymnasium featured the various decades in the school's history, information and a computer demonstration on the history.
The computer demonstration was put together by students in the gifted and talented program in grades 2 through 8.

Cindy Beyers, a teacher for the gifted and talented, said the students worked on Hyperstudio, a presentation type of program that resembles a computer Web site.

Younger students, those in the second and third grades, studied the role of the one-room schools in the Rosholt area. They scanned pictures of the actual sites and interviewed persons who had gone to those schools, she said.

The fourth- and fifth-graders, she said, worked on the program investigating what school was like in a one-room school. Twelve people on the school staff had been in one-room schools, she said, and the students put the information from them in its program.

The seventh- and eighth-graders worked on the history of the school according to the decades, Beyers said, and interviewed graduates from those periods, then used pictures to illustrate the decades.

The presentation is on computer now, and Beyers said the district may put it on the hard drive of some computers or on a server for people to view it in the school. The students have shown it to their peers, she said, but it probably won't go on the Internet because of privacy concerns.
