You'll recognize a lot of the faces in this photo of the 1958 confirmation class at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Valley City, taken on June 8th of that year. Thanks to Colleen (Bryngelson) Zick for this photo. Click on photo for larger image. If anyone would like to attempt naming each of our classmates in the photo, please do so in the "comments" section below. If you have a confirmation photo from your church--taken during our era--please share it with us by sending a scan to me at Hiliners61@gmail.com  - der Blogmeister

I can name almost all of these classmates, and I'm really impressed how many went to the same church. Goes to show that even 50 years ago the people were 60% Lutheran, 35% Catholic and 5% everything else. It's still that way! I'll try to write down all the names tonight.

Barb,
There are only three that I can't name for sure. Maybe combined we will get everyone.

Barb,
We both can't identify some of the same people. The Pastor was an intern,but I can't remember his name. Next to me is LaDonna Aamond not MaryAnn. Next to David Johnson is Ron Legler.

Colleen said...

On the left side of Dave Johnson is Joel Holden. he right side is Ron Legler. Now we are down to only two unknowns.

I think that's possibly Roger Fredrickson in the second row next to Eddie Weeks.

Jerry,
You are so right! It is Roger. What a mind you still have. Do you know what happened to Roger?

Wass the last person unnamed a Larson?

Gary Larson was the person next to Ross. He is married to Marlo Byberg's sister. I had a nice visit with him at VCSU at the Union on Saturday. Fun times.

Colleen,
I think the intern"s name was Alvin or Arvid Berg. Our Pastor Teslo moved out west.( I think)
Gary Larson

Gary,
I think the intern's name was Alvin Berg. Pastor Teslow moved to Vashon Island, Washington by Seattle. I visited him and his wife the year of the World's Fair in Seattle. (1962) My aunt lived in Tacoma and I was visiting her at the time. She and I made the trip to see Pastor Teslow.
