Claaa Hiatonq In September of 1946, forty-three little five and six year olds tripped off to school. We got our first taste of learning through reading the Dick and Jane books. We all remember how excited we were the night we gave our first operetta under the direction of Miss Burton. Jane Damschroder entered our school in the second grade. We all remember her coming because of the large birthday party she gave. As we entered our thrid year, our main goal in life was studying. During the fourth grade we entertained the fifth grade with a play entitled Tom Thumb's Wedding . 1 Up until the Fifth grade we were all one happy family. Now we found we must be divided into two groups. On that first day there were many sad expressions as best friends were parted. Our sixth year was most exciting because we got a day off from school to go to the W.S.P. D. television station and the zoo. When we reached the seventh grade, we thought we were about as grown-up as we could be, because we started changing classes just as the high school students did. This year we gave a Thanksgiving assembly. We also had a Christmas party complete with mistletoe. During our seventh and eight grade years we enjoyed the Seventh and Eighth Grade Part . ,After eight long years we were freshmen. We were happy to gain several new students from Benton Township. On Halloween, Terry Overmeyer gave us a very enjoyable Hal- loween party. Our assembly this year had the theme of a nightclub on television. When we became sophomores, our knowledge had seemed to reach its peak, but we still seemed to learn something new every day. We gave a dance after the Oak Harbor basketball game to raise money for the prom. Our junior year showed the talents of many students as we gave the play, Dollars and Nonsense on November 16. The biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. We chose the theme of Fairyland Romance for our big night. At long last we were seniors. We looked back over the years and noticed that there were only 20 of the original members graduating with us. James Holland started school with us then transferred to Graytown, .but returned to Elmore to graduate. In the fall we had our pictures taken by Powell Studios. We received our pictures just before Christmas. We were sorry to lose Sharon Helmeci our senior year, but happy to have Leona Krumnow join. On April 25, we presented the senior play, The Red House Mystery . One of the highlights of our senior year was the Prom given for us by the juniors. The auditorium was beautifull transformed into a Japanese Tea Garden. Suddenly, as we neared graduation we realized how rapidl time had passed. On June 1, Baccalaureate Services were held. On June 4, we the class of 1958 marched down the aisles of the auditorium for the last time as a class. As we left the auditorium, we were individual young men and women.
