if if if 43 if if 1 In the fall of 1931, sixty-five frightened little first graders entered the huge halls of Anderson Township School. This large school not only included the first eight grades but also four years of high school. The first grade of 1931-32 was divided into two sections as it was too large for one person's supervision. The two groups were under the supervision of Miss Helen Davis and Miss Helen Wingerberger. After struggling with crayons, paper lanterns and the like, we were finally promoted to the second grade. Our second grade advisers were Miss Katherine Etzel and Miss Virginia Long. This year we had a toy band. This was under the direction of Miss Stienle. After having two years at Anderson we were now becoming accustomed to the things that were required of a student. Our third grade advisers were Miss Gertrude Carlson and Miss Mary Laugh. The next year, along with our reading, writing and arithmetic, were added geography and English. This was quite a step in our young lives. Under the instruction of Miss Nancy Foster and Miss Elsie Harmon we completed this year. Now we made a really big step in our school life. We were to be on the second floor. That made us feel rather superior. Our home room teachers were Miss Eleanor Powers and Mrs. Besse Ayer. Instead of having one teacher for all our subjects, we now had a different one for each subject. Our sixth grade advisers were Miss Marjorie Sturm and Mrs. Georgia Ayer. After a year we were then promoted to junior high. Our seventh grade advisers were Miss Nancy Foster and Mr. Harold Obee. -kiii During this year we had a junior high basketball team. Our eighth grade advisers were Miss Gertrude Addicott and Mr. M. I. Ellis. They were not exactly strangers to us because in the previous year they had taught us English and science. Our junior high boys had the champion basketball team in the -county. We sponsored a show at the Elstun Theater called "The Hoosier School Boy." We now had more money than we knew how to spend so we decided to take an educational tour of Cincinnati. We were the first class to take such a tour. Now the biggest day of our lives arrived: graduation from grade school into high school. This took place in the spring of '39. Our freshman advisers were Miss Ruth Perin and Mr. David Drake. The sophomores gave us a delightful fresh- man party and initiation. The next year we were sophomores and now upper- classmen. Our advisers were Miss Vera Nash and Mr. Gordon Duvall. This year we gave the freshmen a party. As juniors we had for our advisers Mrs. Mary Struke and Mr. Charles Brown. We gave a successful class play, "Miss Collegiate." We gave the seniors, in the way of farewell, a prom. This account brings us up to the present. Now we are seniors and are completing our education at Anderson. Of the group of sixty-five first graders we now have fifteen students who have been here for the entire twelve years. They are: L. Meier, S. Rusk, D. Shell- abarger, I. Truitt, I. Owens, I. Bruce, L. Nielsen, B. Thomton, W. Iohnson, W. Maxstadt, R. Burns, I. Dumont, H. Wittmeyer, D. Bartels and K. Merten.
