Class History One balmy fall day in September, 1940, Mrs. Max Hisey fnee Miss Lola Kiplingerj, stood in the door of Homer's first and second grade room on the first day of school. Two little perky hair ribbons and one pair of first long pants, JoAnn Fenstermaker, Phyllis Howe, and John Juchurn, skipped through the door. These are the only three members of the original class that have been able to stand it all this time. JoAnn moved away the following summer, leaving Phyllis queen of the second grade. You see, she was the only girl among all those handsome toothless boys. A sweet little brown- eyed rotund boy, joined us this year. Carl Zemancik was his name. JoAnn relieved Phyllis, much to her chagrin, of her exclusiveness in the third grade. Mrs. Charles Hockensmith falias Miss Myrtle Hastingsj placed two more names in her little black book in the fourth grade. The names were Nora Wuthrich and Boyd Massie. JoAnn and John fell desperately in love during this year. How sophisticated we thought we were when we sedately walked up the steps to the fifth grade room. We were all settled down into our seats when Mr. Leon Jeffery, our fifth grade teacher, ushered two new members into the classroom. Rosemary Kiplinger and Kenneth Slarb took their places in the two empty seats. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered was a teacher in our sixth year. With wool skirts ruined by numerous ink squirtings, her nerves worn to a frazzle by the Devi1's Club fwhich was organized to do what the name irnpliesj, she resigned in the middle of the year. Then suave, broad-shouldered Mr. Louis Basom took over the honor of teaching our busy little brains. Quartets, fishing trips, and picnics were the highlights of his charmed regime. A softball team formed that year was named the Red Cardinals. Red caps for the boys and red hair ribbons for the girls designated this fact., By the ti.me we entered the seventh grade we had the advantage of high school teachers. Ronald Voorhees, Bill Snoddy, Dorene and Doretta Wood, and Duane Schempp enlarged the class enrollrnent. We found out what that mysterious high school word Dentention meant-- by experience. When we entered the eighth grade, we had become civilized. We faced the horror of flunking the eighth grade test. If we could have known what was ahead of us, we would have flunked it gladly. Betty Allen joined us to liven the class up a bit. Our boys, placed third in the county, playing sensational basketball in these two years. John was on the all county team. Slightly awed by the overwhelming experience of being full-fledged high school students of Homer High, we leaped over the little kids on the bus, tore up the steps and pranced into the ninth grade room. During initiation week, sponsored by the blood-thirsty Sophomores, we got our feet washed for the first tirne in nine years. We enjoyed all these so-called tortures more than the Sophomores. Dorene, Doretta, and JoAnn were first team cheerleaders No wonder we won most of the games that year. Phyllis was a member of the sextet. Mr. Bert Zimmerman tried to hold our famous parties at an even keel. f
