POEM The memory of each friendly smile Will follow us over every mile, As all the class of forty-eight Scatters out over every state. Our ultimate goal has been to lead, We're c-ontent to know we did succeed. We have all played an important part, Which each one holds close to his heart. Our memory books, pictures, parties, and pleasures, Are but a few of our most priceless treasures. Our beautiful proms were so full of grace With the girls all donned in satin and lace. The time has come to say goodbye To our dear school--Eaton High. In memory you'll stand far above the rest, And We'll think of you always as being the best. -Grace McWilliams 1948 CLASS SONG ALWAYS We'll remember you, always With our love that's true, always Dreaming with a sigh Of old Eaton High As the years go by always, always. Thoughts of you we'll share, always Which we know are fair, always We've had your helping hand Which we know is grand That we'1l understand, as, always. By Jim Beets and Don McWilliams HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1948 The History of the Class of 1948 begins in the year of our Lord, nine- teen hundred and thirty six. It concerns the adventures and experiences through the progress of elementary education of the members of the Class of '48. First Grade Because of construction work being conducted at the grade school building, our first class of eigthy three pupils was held in the music room in the high school building. About November of that year, we moved into the grade building. Time has corrupted us to the extent that no one remembers much about our first year, but we do remember that our teachers were Miss Lindberg and Miss Crook. Our big event of the year was the Arbor Day operetta which was called The Magic Piper. Some of us were rats and the others sang Bounce, Bounce, Ball. Christmas and Halloween were big days because we always had a

party with lots of treats. Likewise the day of our picnic in the Eaton Park was a big day. Second Grade We started off this year under the guidance of Miss Coddington and Miss Coatney. The usual Christmas program was given and Santa Claus came dressed in a red suit with a big pillow tucked under his belt. Guess who! That's right, Howard Engel. Our performance in our second annual operetta was characterized by a toy band under the direction of the music teacher. The new additions to our class were Beverly Whitmore, Marilyn Kirk, Junior Sherrow and Kenneth Wilhelm. Third Grade This was the year that everyone struggled over the multiplication tables under the direction of Miss Elrick and Miss Anderson. Betty .Io White always remembers the third grade because that was the year that she threw a rock through a store Window trying to hit Ronald Tidball. Another operetta! This time we were searchers in a cave for Tom Sawyer in the operetta Tom Sawyer. Fourth Grade Our capable leaders this year were Miss Johnson and Miss Armatage. In those days we must have liked the teachers because we always fought to see who would get to wash the blackboar.ds or run errands for them. The girls also started playing with the boys, and the boys usually got the worst end of it because all of the girls were bigger than the boys. We had our first real big picnic this year in Island Grove Park. Since it was a bad day, we went through the museum at the college and returned to Eaton to have a maypole dance in the Eaton Grade School Auditorium. We gained Leona Waymire and Don Salyards this year. Fifth Grade Everyone had a lot of fun this year under the guidance of Miss Te Grotenhuis and Mrs. Carlson. In addition to learning the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner, We built a paper mache' castle and experimented by growing beans and capturing ants. We participated in another operetta this year called the Pageant of America. Shirley Marcus was the Dream Fairyg Kenneth Wilhelm played his accordion, and Beverly Whitmore and Bonnie Rodewald very capably performed a tap dance. A group of the boys were dressed as cowboys. Along with many enjoyable parties this year, we all had a wonderful time at the picnic at Island Grove Park in the spring of the year. Grace VVheeler joined our class this year. Sixth Grade During the year 41-42, We were under the able administration of Mrs. Whitcomb and Mr. Stinson. We finally were the big shots of the grade school because we were the upperclassmen. Mr. Stinson organized a football team, a basketball team, and con- ducted an interscholastic track meet. He supervised the collection of scrap paper and scrap iron to finance the purchase of basketball uniforms which were worn by the sixth grade basketball team. An hour a day was spent in our Citizenship Club which was our first organized class meeting. The year of 1941 being the date of the second World War, our class took ,part in presenting a very appropriate operetta called Victory Re- view. Our hearts were very much saddened at the loss of a very dear friend
