1938 CLASS HISTORY 1951 One rainy day in September, 1933, ten young wide- eyed youngsters greeted their teacher, Miss Marguerite Abele, new Mrs. Joe Harms, who were Mary Jo Morfitt, Marlys '.'.' atson, Mary Johnson, Nancy Leib, Arthur Blank- ers, Vera Cleveringa and Jack and Jill Rohwer, who were twins, and Wayne. nfter six weeks of school we lost Hayae but giined Robert Chambers. Later that year Cleo Kaiser joined our class, too. However, in March Jack and Jill Rnhwer and Robert Chambers moved away, During our primary year we had a children's POST OFFICE in our room, When we left for the first grade we had t Vp wenbers to continue en the second lap of this thi? .cp round track. Our y mr in first grade was also spent under the supervTaion of Miss Abclo. Cleo Kaiser did not return to our class but some new students arrived, They were Robert Steinman, Oscar DeVries, and Faye Clark. During the year we had a grocery store and later a POST OFFICE in our room. In March our class again saw several changed situations, namely that Nancy Leib and Faye Clark moved. A new character appeared on the scene. Donald andringa didn't seem to like our school very well at the first. We had new completed the second lap with only nine members in oar class. Then the year began, Miss Elizabeth Den Hartog was our t ich r in second grade. Our class of nine was in- creased ro ten as Donna Saupe joined. Later in December we pained Robert Alberts who moved to Archer from St. Ansgar, Iowa. One of our most interesting projects under Miss Den Hartog was our room's daily diary, in which we recorded such events as perfect attendance, weather, ill- nesses and special events. In third grade we again returned to the same room and instructor but this time we shared the room with the class of 1952 rather than the class of 1950. It might be worthy to note that this was the year l9hl. We will always re- member how startled we were on December 7, l9hl, by the report that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. Dur- ing the school year our class was reduced when Oscar De Vries moved in March. This left ten members in our class to start the fifth lap around the track.

Class History, con't. In the fourth grade we were guided by Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, A new face appeared on the scene when Paul Keck joined our class increasing our membership to eleven This year found us working on an operetta, HKING PUDDIN' HEAD THE FIRSTN. In the fifth grade we were again under Mrs, William's guidance. Our class had undergone quite a few changes, Vera did not return this fall but we had a new pupil by the name of Kennerly Humphreys. after the first six weeks Mary Johnson moved to Colorado leaving us with a class of seven boys and three girls, In March Robert Stallman moved away but Maurene DeBoom appeared on the scene, That spring we took a train trip to Sheldon and saw some of the industries. Our attendance was quite low that spring due to mumps and scarlet fever. We had completed the sixth lap with ten members. On our seventh lap, we often saw red, our teacher being Miss Thelma McNutt, new Mrs. James Vollink, Ken- nerly Humpherys did not return that fall and later in March Donald Mastbergen moved to Sheldon, We completed the seventh lap with only eight members, Our eighth year of school in the seventh grade was again spent under the supervision of Miss McNutt. Don- ald andringa did not return that fall but instead went to the Sheldon School for Christian Instruction. He must have liked Archer better, because he returned to Archer right after Christmas vacation. Later in March Marilyn Craig joined our class. During the year we had a club. Our one achievement was to buy a nice picture for the room, We had now completed the eighth lap with nine members in our class, At the beginning of our ninth year of education we occupied the seats along the south wall of the assembly. Mary Ann Wilts joined our class so that there were new ten of us. Our classes were run very much on the same system as the high school classes, Mr, Hoeppner was our sponsor that year, Our teachers included Mr. Nelson, Mrs. Tanner, and Miss Watson, We probably will never for get these teachers. They must have been very anxious to have us in high school or else they were trying to scare us away because we were initiated when we were eighth graders, The thing that most occupied our attention that year was the High School's winning basketball team. We concluded our year by giving a one-act play, nJimmy the Geniusu, and received our diplomas with the Seniors of'h7
