CLASS HISTORY In that year of great depression, 1934, so well remembered by the people of the Middle Y est, three small girls, Shirley Lindahl, Joyce Hunscote, and Virginia Mustard began school here at Clarks Public School—they began the future up and coming Class of 47 who rose above the depression and the '.'far to be- come a Class of Distinction, to be long remembered in the annals of Clarks Public School. Our first teacher, Valorie Augustus is well remembered, by many of us for her kind guidance, which gave us a good start on this long rough road of life. Our next years were made richer by the understanding of 3uch teachers as Beulah Crain, Nina Adams, Doris Braaf, Barbara Little Morga.., Jack Burger, and Mrs. Genivieve Y.'agner. Those years were filled with the usual class picnics, operettas and other activities v hieh make the life of a grade-school pupil so very interesting. During these years Norma Campbell, Donna Beckstrom, Donna ■Jaggoner, Lucetta Jilg, Kathleen Holys, and Alfred Homolka entered our class. Our High-School days began with a well-remembered Initiation which gave us to understand that we were but-definitely Green Freshmen.---We soon got over the depressed idea that we were brow-beaten and became in time quite determined to rule the roost—(a quality so well known to many high school classes). Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Barnes in our freshman year, we maintained a high social life with many parties. To our dismay we received a pennant, which is a combination of silver-grey and blue. Yfe chose our Class Flowers,—red and v.hite carnations, and a Class Motto,— No Steps Backward, All Steps Forward. lie participated in Dramatics under the guidance of Mrs. Thompson as well as the other various extra-curricular activities. During this year we added many more to our class—Stanley Longenecker, Bill Y urtz, Bill Kuhn, Bill Dexter, Johnny Jacobi, Richard Johnson, Mary Anne Hayes, Virginia Stromberg, Jeanette Kaminsky , and Lois Anderson.
