Class History One sunny day in September of 1951 tour girls and nine boys gathered together to start their high school careers. They were as follows: Bill Button, Donnie Carlstrom, Willard Breshears, Dale Bigler, Marvin Chaney, Lavern Hood, Kenneth Tollivar, Vernon House, Bob Turner, Sharon Meier, Jannath Williams, Pat Ahrens, and Trilla Bastion. A short time after school started Bob Turner left school and Donnie Carlstrom moved to California, leaving only eleven to finish the year. The courses we took our Freshman year were mathematics and science under Miss Whitby, Citizenship under Mr. Farnham, English 1 under Mr. Jackson, and band and chorus Lmder Miss Robertson. During the summer we lost another of our students, Trilla Bastion, who got married. That left us with just ten. There were two changes in teachers our Sophomorelyear. Mr. Thomson took over as superintendent from Mr. Akars who moved to Hollister and Mrs. Thomson became history teacher replacing Mr. Farnham. Subjects taken during the Sophomore year were English II and speech under Mr. Jackson, world history under Mrs. Thomson, biology under Miss Whitby, agriculture under Mr. Thomson, and band and chorus under Miss Robertson. During the vacation that summer, Kenneth Tollivar moved leaving us six boys and three girls. But at the first of school Shirley Ann Palmer moved here from Kansas City bringing our class number back up to ten. Just before Christmas, Vernon House moved to Tunas. - There were two changes in our teachers that year. Mr. Sergent replaced Mr. Thomson and Mrs. Smith took over for Mrs. Thomson. Our subjects were: English III and American problems under Mr. Jackson, Missouri History under Mr. Sergent, health and occupations under Miss Whitby, and typing, shorthand, band, and chorus under Miss Robertson. Our play, the pop stand, the donkey ballgame, etc, earned us enough money to take the seniors to Rockaway Beach. The name of our play was The Uninvited Jester under the direction of Miss Whitby, our sponsor. The start of our Senior year found the same old bunch back of five boys and four girls. Two more changes in teachers occured during the summer.. Mr. Rozell and Mrs. Roberts took the places of Miss Whitby and Mr. Jackson.
