HISTORY 0F THE CLASS UF 1942 May I have your attention, please? I would like to take you back to the year 1930, when a smart group of kiddies grasped their mothers' hands and hurried otf to the little, red school house. Earl Baughman, Eugene Iohnson, lane Phillips, Ida Dreussi, Walter Betz, Mabel Clapper, Dick Heakin, Virginia Clapper, Robert Palmer, Gerson Laubender, Hazel Kolm, Pauline Werley, and William Sukosd composed his fine group and with the help of our teachers were guided through the en- tire twelve years. My, but that's a long time when you think back! We were very fortunate to have such fine teachers. Miss Lamborn was our first teacher. Re- member our phonetics? Ooo-ah-ww-ch. ch- the way a train goes! And the big day when the music teach- er, Miss Grace Seneff, came. We were cautioned by Miss Lamborn to fold our hands, sit up very straight and not one of us turn our head when she came in! tThe door was at the back of the room.! Miss Lamborn supplied us in the first and second grades with enough information to qualify us for the third grade. There, Miss Carlin took us over. In those days Christmas and Halloween were the big occasions. Remember how afraid Polly Werley was of Santa Claus and the Masqueraders? We had fun ex- changing valentines, too. And some of the girls-- I won't say which ones-- vied with teachers to see who could get the most valentines. When we were promoted to the fourth grade with Miss George, as school-marm, Jennie Ceh, from Allan School, Canton, Chio, joined our happy band. Too, We added M. C. Henderson from Liberty School, Canton, Ohio, later in the term. This year Gerson left us but as we shall see, he returns. M. C. was the boy who enter- tained us with his songs. Remember! Now we were in Miss Rayot's room and having a swell time. This year we welccm- ed the twins, Ophelia and Frank Gonzales, from Sandyville, Violet Sickles, from Pleas- ant Grove, and Raymond Wallace, from Robertsville, to make our class hit the total of eighteen for the fifth and sixth grades. We were growing up now, since we ran around in the halls from room to room, changing classes. Yes, we were now in Iunior High School, with Miss Harmon as our sponsor. Everyone must have thought us pretty stupid then because the first day 'upstairs' we just couldn't get the idea of where we went when the bell rang. We learned and you just watch us! Seventh grade flew by and we found ourselves seated in the big study hall with Miss Carolene Weisgerber, eighth grade home room teacher, trying to quiet the noisy group of - - should I say - - youngsters! We were just one big happy family. Not very many were glad to see commence- ment come: but of course, we were looking forward to the increase in the class and most of all to the new students we would meet from the country schools. Commencement day-- the biggest fresh- man class ever to enter the High School! Weren't we the proud ones? There were seventy to graduate that commencement night! Could we all stick together for four more years? Let's hope so. On September 9, 1938, the following students waited for the school bus to pick them up and take them to East Canton High School. They were Elmer Anthony and Lloyd Yoerns, from Center, Mary Bair from Centerville, Damon Burley from Hickory Grove, Ralph DeHoff and Wayne Schrader from Evening Star, Francesca Foster and Lil- lian Pero from Belfort, Arline Foltz, Donald Youtz, and Gerson Laubender from Maple- ton, Joyce Gaul and Claude Kinsinger from Indian Run, Marie Graham and Harry Ni- mon from Excelsior, Carl Wilson from Pleasant Grove, Gwen Shank from Lincoln and Elva Linhart from Louisville. tThere were many others but as they have not continued with us I do not list them.! The following year when we were sopho- mores, a great event happened in the vil- lage of East Canton, construction was be- gun on Osnaburg Township Centralized High School. We spent the first semester in the old building under the guidanze of Mr. Allen West. After Christmas vacation we were transferred to the new building. With the change of schools came a change of teachers. Now we had Mr. Thomas Hazen as our efficient leader. During our sophomore year, Eugene Ake from North Canton, Kathryn Hershey from Waynesburg and Anna Rapp from Scioto Township join- ed us. With the passing of time, we had drifted into our Iunior year and again were under
