There were 76 first-graders at one time, trying to slip out the many exits when their teacher was busy.
Dr. Knierim became an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist and his practice included all of northeast Montana. He was chief of staff at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital for over 40 years. His sons still remember waiting for their dad while he was in surgery, left under the watchful eye of a nurse on duty.
Contact Pat Knierim at Box 29, Glasgow for an application to be mailed to you. All applications are due July 20 and must be accompanied by an official transcript of your college work.
