iiiatoag of Glam 0.52 '46 In September, 1934, eight little girls and boys started to school for the first time in their lives. These little darlings were Dolores Harter, Betty Wer- ley, Harold Brechbill, Ioan Mark, Ioanne Mark, Iam- es Mark, Diana Simich ,and Lois Hunt. During this same year, Ray Sickles joined us from Pleasant Grove. Under the very good supervision of Miss Swyter, we all passed to the 2nd grade, where our little class was divided: some of us remaining with Miss Swyter and the rest under the supervision of Miss Davis. Without adding or losing any of our class we went to the third grade where we were together once again with Miss Davis as our teacher. Even as early as this we presented an Operetta which was called , Goldilocks. In the fourth grade we found ourselves under the direction of Miss George. This year we were glad to welcome to our group, Anna- belle Bole from Hartford School in Canton and Doro- thy Masters from Malvem, but we were sorry to lose Diana Simich to Robertsville. We also present- ed the Operetta, In Quest of Santa Claus, with Ioanne Mark in the leading role. Passing into the fifth grade we occupied the portable building behind the high school. Our class was again divided, un- der the guidance of both Miss Speck and Miss Waltz. We were happy to welcome to our group Bill Smith from Malvem, Diana Simich also paid us another call: this time to stay. This year we presented another operetta entitled, The King's Sneezes. As the fifth grade flew swiftly by, we soon dis- covered that we were sixth graders. At the end of the first semester the school became centralized and we moved to the new high school building. Here again we were divided into two groups under the guidance of Miss Speck and Mr. Engle. Because of the centralization of schools, were were joined by quite a few students from the rural districts. The fol- lowing students jumped on the school buses and ar- rived safe and sound at OTHS: Marceline Brunner, Barbara Anthony, and Glen Bechtel from Center: Virginia Royer and Harvey Creighton from Center- ville: Helen Foltz and Geneva Young from Maple- ton: Donna Nimon and Eldin Snider from Hickory Grove: Bob Van Voorhis from Indian Run: and Iam- es Nimon from Excelsior. Near the end of this year, who should make her appearance but Ann Snyder who came from Centerville School but had spent the winter months in Florida. When the time came to enter Ir. High, our class had greatly increased. We were still divided but under the wonderful super- vision of Miss Badger and Miss Schwartz. The day we entered the seventh grade was the day of days. We were to change classes. We drove the teachers wild asking directions to the different rooms, but, af- ter a few days, we began finding our way around rather easily. Alice Bland from Roosevelt School in Canton and Marland Showalter from Louisville join- ed our class. The eighth grade found us a little more settled under the direction of Mrs. Ryder and Miss Mc- Cullough. This year we welcomed Evelyn Adler from Hartford School in Canton. The following year, we dropped our childish fan- cies and put on a high school air, and walked into the Study Hall which was to be our homeroom with Mrs. Ryder as our supervisor. We increased our enrollment by four. Namely: Alice Flory and Wen- dell Kettering from Canton Township: Paul Rose from McKinley and Hazel Roberts from West Vir- ginia, making a freshman class of seventy-eight. Twelve months later we were sophomores under the splendid direction of Miss Stauffer and Mrs. MacDonald. The new students this semester were Marilyn Stocker from Fannington, Michigan, lean Schwall from Louisville, Birch Dillehay from Miner- va, and Paul Robertson from Marlboro. Time passed, and soon we were Iuniors. At long last we were invited in one room under the patient and untiring supervision of Miss Stauffer. Faced with the problem of sponsoring a banquet for the Seniors, we raised money by selling magazines, hot dogs at football games, candy and popcorn, wrappings, Christmas and Easter cards, and, also by presenting our Iunior Class play, Iumpin' Iupiter. The banquet went over in a big way. lt was held at Highland Links Club House on May 12, 1945. Our only regret from the junior year was that we lost Glen Bechtel, who was selected by the army of the United States. As Seniors, with Miss Stauffer as our Senior Spon- sor, we welcomed into our group Bill Beck from Louisville. lack Dunn from Dover, and Charles Rich- ardson from McKinley but lost Wendell Kettering to the Navy and Iack Dunn and Charles Richard- son to the Anny. As Seniors, we inherited the diffi- cult task of editing the annual. We financed this project by presenting the Senior Class play, Girl Shy and by selling potato chips and pretzels the second semester. With a present enrollment of thirty-four: we, the Class of '46, leave behind us pleasant memories of twelve inspiring years.
