As a result of my leading role in The Sound of Music, everyone in school knew who I was. I was nominated to the Spring Prom Court. I chose Hal Reiter to be my escort. It was held at the Masonic Temple in downtown Portland. Our dresses were made of white cotton material with tiny red cherries as accent. I was so grateful that my sister-in –law Betty Thelin sewed the dress. She did a lot of sewing for me since my step-mother did not sew.
My parents were always very supportive of everything I did; my voice lessons, my Young Women’s activities, dating, sports. I did not participate in any organized sports during high school. It is something that I regret.
I attended Seminary for three years until my senior year. I enjoyed Seminary a lot. I loved learning more about the gospel and never went to sleep in class. Two of my three years my teacher was a man. I learned so much from both of them.
Because I was so busy with drama my senior year I felt it would be too taxing to arise so early in the morning. I was right. Some of the play practices were until 10:30 night after night. I do wish now that I had taken all four years of Seminary. However, at Brigham Young University I made sure to take Old Testament, the subject I missed in Seminary.
