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.

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.
