Class of 194-6. 0 0 1ji r One Monday morning early in September, 1933 about twenty boys and girls woke to tnej.r first grout day—the uay when they started to sch.ol. Sencol to them was the room on the s uth side of the auditorium. That first day was a rather nasy affair. Hiss Zita Pecenka was their teacher. The next six years passed by as one except for little recesses called vacation. Of course, there were Christmas urograms and last day of school picnics. And tnen they v ere ready for entrance into tne new high scncol bu:iding.

QJUmJ'HS '.Vith a blue and gold treasure chest banquet and prom triumpn ntly co-.,;leteu unaer the £uiaance of the class sponsor, i.Iiss Grace hose, tne class of 1945 is looking back on a year of activities well done. Unusually succes-ful as tne class play, Plane Crazy,” competently cast and directed by hiss Harriet ioret. Officers for tne year have been 5ob Burgess, president; G' enie Smith, vice-president; ...arjorie '.right, secretary; and Berr.adine Butler, treasurer. Looking back to the beginning of it all, the class will always remember that hrs. .eaver v us their first teacher. The year was 1933, Supt. J. C. Cald-? ell’s first year in the hark. Remember, seniors, when your class and ours were both in the same school room? The present juniors were the first seventh graue to come into tne new high scnool building, and will be tne first class to receive all tneir junior-senior high scnool education here. In 1941-42 Leonard Bell was elected sponsor, and class officers were Bob Burgess, president; Phil nenry, vice-president; Jane »nn Timmerman, secretary; and velyn Stoppel, treasur er. In the fall there was a class picnic and dance, while the spring-party as an evening of roller skating. e still remember the skit, Company Attention, wnich the boys gave in the ali-school show. Robert names sponsored the class in their sophomore year, and again Bob aurgess was preside;.t. Rail nenry was vice-president, Viola 3runet, secretary, and Jim Durbin treasurer. In the fall the class held a danc which as the outstanding event of the year. Tne surviving member of the original group .'hich starter to school together eleven years ago are ’.’alter Gray, G-venie Smith, and Peggy Becker, however, the entire class of eleven members are united in their anticipation of a full and happy senior year to be followed by service to their country. C 7lS Lear hiss Green, I.o you ever tnink of tnat curious but eager little group of first graaers you so kindly and patiently led into their first year of school life Lack in early September of the year 1934? uo-v you must have sighed when you looked into their beaming well-polished little faces. ould you like to hear how they have been faring in tne ten years, since you met them in school for the first tine that morning? There are only a few left of the original group :ho started with you that year. Don Kilton, Boyce .'.cKnight, Patsy Cneney, and Charles Greene are the ones you kne , but how they have changedi I cioubt that yoi would know them no . Tiee marches on, and the stronger survived the storm of tnat trying journey between infancy and our tentn year in school. There were 21 men.oers in our class this September and four of those have left us during tne year. Our seventh grade proved to oe ;nore eventful than taose pre-ceding. This .as the year that .e alked off with tne blue ribbon for the best sKit in the carnival under the brilliant leadership of our sponsor, ’.r. oell. (Cont. on next page)
