DOROTHEA SPEYER VU find H way or make I GERMAN EXCHANGE One- ' STUDENT CLASS HI TORY We, the great almighty Seniors of 1970 entered kindergarten in the fall of 1957. The highlights were nap- time and building blocks. The teacher was Mrs. Downing and we had a total enrollment of 43 students. By 1st grade we had supposedly learned our alphabet. Although we were six years old we continued our nap- time but replaced building blocks with finger painting. Our teachers at that time were Miss Boda and Mrs. Allen since we were separated. Now under the control of Mrs. Hotchkiss and Mrs. Schrock, the second graders learned to read and write, mingled with a little arithmetic. When we entered 3rd grade, we got to be in the new section that had just been finished. Mrs. Shanafelt and Mrs. Schrock were our teachers, they taught us our multiplication tables. We are now in the Sth grade. Our teachers were Mrs. Corners and Mrs. Hesselink. Nothing exciting hap- pened which made the year boring. ln 6th grade we were taught by Mrs. McCrimmon and Mrs. Neuman. lt was here we started to learn parlia- mentary procedure. ln the year that we entered 7th grade, the beginning of junior high, the Marion School District annexed Winterfield, Dighton, and Temple into the school system.

To start everything off was the homecoming. The rules for picking the homecoming queen were changed, so that four seniors ran for queen.
