The American Legion Junior Auxiliary became active in September 1972, with 16 members. Mrs. BerLyle Lunn and Mrs. Maynard Haugen were chosen by Mrs. John Bakken, president of Auxiliary to be co-chairmen. Mrs. Bakken also helped with all meetings the first year. The first full slate of officers were as follows: President Connie Johnson, Vice President Vicki Everson, Secretary-Treasurer Karla Haugen, Historian Kaye Haugen, Chaplain Julie Eslinger, Sgt. at Arms Cindy Clemens.
Membership in 1976, is 27 members. A girl for Girl's State was sponsored by the Juniors in 1975. Every year we have elected a Poppy Queen which takes part in Memorial Day Services. By reaching the age of 18, the members will become Senior members through graduation ceremonies.
