t O On September 7, 1943, eight little bright eyed youngsters were aroused from their sleep to begin their Mission of Wisdom . The names recorded in the enrollment book were: Norma Ammerman, Betty Killgore, Delilah Kintz, Lois Marek, Karen Miller, Keith Pierce, Richard Vos-ika, and Harold Whitefoot. Mary Jo Teague joined us in the second semester. By our third year we had as new pupils --Earl Pace, Berniece Moeller, Mary Ann Spires, Sharon Moist, Margie Anderson, Roland Wright, Roger Thompson, Albert Fraass, and Barbara Dorn. During our fourth grade year we lost Berniece Moeller, Mary Ann Spires, Sharon Moist, and Margie Anderson. But to make up for it, Peggy Hillman and Clayton Way joined us. Jim Rogers and Betty Omel joined us in the fifth grade and Barbara Dorn left. Two new members in the sixth grade were Robert Anderson and Jerry Howerter. Robert Anderson left again in the seventh grade and Earl Pacd dropped out. George Hart and Sharrol Talich came in to take their places. Ray Smith was a member of our class for a short while during the eighth grade. Then came the day we had been waiting for! On that day of September, of 1951, 23 teen-age boys and girls with smiling faces and hair combed, beamed at their High School teachers, trying to look more intelligent than they really were. The new members for that year were: Pat Forell, Norman Hoppmann, Faith Schmid, Dennis Thompson, Kenneth Onken, Glen Henzl, and Bill McKellips who left before the year was over. Ann McCarter started the Sophomore year with us but she dropped out at the end of six weeks. Betty Killgore moved at the end of the year. Our Junior year found us deep in plans for the Junior-Senior banquet and our class play, Let's Face It . We also gained Larry Brand. The fall of '54 rolled around and the Seniors tripped lightly up the stairs, eager for their last year of high school. The 22 answering roll call were: Norma Ammerman, Larry Brand, Pat Forell, Albert Fraass, Glen Henzl, Peggy Hillman, Norman Hoppmann, Jerry Howerter, Delilah Kintz, Lois Marek, Karen Miller, Betty Omel, Kenneth Onken, Keith Pierce, Jim Rogers, Faith Schmid, Sharrol Talich, Mary Jo Teague, Dennis Thompson, Richard Vosika, Clayton Way, and Harold Whitefoot. From 1943 to 1955 seems like a long time to a small girl or boy but looking backward from 1955 to 1943, time seems very short for 12 years of happy school life. With a sigh each of us look back upon those memories so dear to us.
