CLASS REVEALS On September 9, 1946, a bright sunny morning, one boy and 11 girls toddled into the first grade room to meet their teacher, Mrs. Herman Owen. There are only six little rascals that have struggled through all 12 years of school together. They are Homer Sooy, Car- ole Spellrnan, Barbara Allen, Wilma Foster, Linda Jo Grissinger, and Leilani Simcox. Pat Strine and Berniece Trapp also started with us. In another little burg about 6 miles away, there were also little children starting to school. This little burg was Albion. There were 7 bright- eyed children going to school. They were met at the door by their teacher, Mrs. Florence Welch. Marie Frank, David Blodgett, and David Snoddy are the only 3 out of the 7 that have survived their 12 years together. Once again, in our second year, we re- turned to the same room and the same teach- er. Although we were in need of boys this year, we were very happy when Marcia Rex an Mary Stites joined our class. Albion second graders were also happy to return to the same room and teacher. In our third year, we were shipped to Al- bion and united with their third grade. Our new teacher was Mrs. Kathryn Soka. The year Pat Strine left us to go to Mansfield, but our class was increased by two new members, Bruce Campbell and Betty Jean Hoffman. As each year went along we were getting a little brighter and braver, although we were bright to begin with! Next year we were shipped back at Homer. This year we entered our fourth year, and were introduced to our new teacher Mrs. Mrytle Hockensmith Chee Miss Mrytle Hastingsl. This was also the year we presented our first oper- etta, Rip Van Winkle. The next year was a sad one for us, because we were divided into two classes. Half of the class joined the late Mrs. Flora Pike and the other half stayed with Mrs. Hocken- smith. We were happy to have Pat Strine come back, and also a new member Wanda Shorts, but we also lost one member, Berniece Trapp. When the next year came, we were in the sixth grade. This year we were all joined to- gether again into one class. Half of the class stayed in their old room and the other half came to join them. Their teacher was the late Mrs. Beatrice Jenkins. Our next year was a big jump, we were in junior high school. We didn't have one teach- er in particular, but quite a few. This year Berniece Trapp came back to join our class again, and Herman Trapp also joined our class. Our eighth year was sort of sad, because everything that happened, the eighth grade was supposed to have done it. We still stuck together in spite of every- thing to be a happy and bright class. This year Fred Hines joined us to make another smiling face in our class. Here we are in the ninth grade. High School, just imagine us in high school! We were just beginning to enjoy our freshman year when wham! initiation! This was a whole week of dressing in funny clothes and doing crazy things. This year our basketball team won the Medina County League and Tournament. Then went on to win the Lorain Sectional Tournament, and from there to the District Tournament at Kent. Altogether this was a very exciting year and we were very happy when Ralph Crebs joined our class. Our advisor this year was Mr. E. B. Workman. In our tenth year, we were very proud to order the prettiest class rings ever in Homer School. This year we kept our mothers very busy baking pies at noon, which turned out to be very profitable. We were very proud to pre- sent a one-act play this year. It was Nobody Sleeps. Our advisor was Mrs. Mary Hines. In our junior year, we had for our advisor Mrs. Mabel Neiswinter. We had many money- making projects this year. Some of them were scrap drives, selling popcorn, potato chips and hot dogs at basketball games. In the spring we presented our class play, Spring Prom Magic. It was a riotous comedy and a great suc- cess. Then finally came the time we had waited for all year long. Our Junior - Senior Prom.
