SHORT STORIES BASED ON ALMONT HISTORY
by 1953-1954 English IV Class
Almont High School
Almont, North Dakota

Edited by Thelma Klingensmith
Teacher of Class

Hectographed by Leona Monson
1955

Preface

      Believing that Almont students have a rich heritage, the English IV class in Composition wrote their short stories with various parts of Almont history as a basis. Some parts of these short stories are fictitious, but basically they are true to the facts as they could find them.
     These narratives come from the pioneers of our community and from recent times have given all who had a part in this project a deeper appreciation of their inheritance as citizens of the Almont community.

Thelma H. Klingensmith
English Teacher.
