FRESHNIAN CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 194-4, six children came to a new school, Martinsburg, because there was no one to teach us any longer in the parochial school. These children were john Schultz, Jeanette Shultz, Darrell Kam:-ath, Werner Koeppe, Roger Zinn and Carroll Harder. In March Darrell Kamrath moved away wlth his parents into theycountry. Later, during our eighth grade year, Bob Anderson joined the clas . Miss Alice Kamrath was the teacher during these two years. At the end of the school term we took the clunky eighth grdde examinations. All the pupils passed and later most of us met at the county graduation exercises which were held at Wakefield. We received our diplomas and thus we knew that we had passed into the next grade, which meant high school. The next year, seven pupils met in the freshman class of Martinsburg High School, It was like a reunion for Darrell was again with us. Mr. Hanson was our teacher. At first we were a little frightei, but we soon felt very much at home, and a part of the high school. This was especially true after initiation. For a long tlrne we had worrleo about what the upper classrnen would do to us . We found that our worries were groundless for they played clever pranks on us and ordered us to wear clownlsh clothes for one day but did nothing to injure as so that we had more fun than they did. After that they accepted us as equal members of the school group. In everything that the school has planned or undertaken we have taken a full part so that it seems that we are not so much a separate class as members of the whole group. We only know that when the others graduate we will still be here. WN'---john Schultz Ik 1 Ill If lk 1? Roses are red, violets are blue, The fizz in your pop is C O-2.

GRANIMAR Room, qconap The forst party was held on Halloween. . The last period was spent in playing various games and telling ghost stories, after which the group was treated by the teacher. During the first part of December the pupils were busy learning their various parts for the Christrnas program which was given together with the primary room. For a week, all were busy learning their parts and practicing. In connection with this, they were busy selling their tickets for a big turkey raffle. Two other prizes were given but the turkey was first. Since everyone cooperated so well, a nice sum of money was made with which things will be purchased for the school. The proceeds were divided equally between the two rooms. Work was resumed as usual after the program. A party was held a few days before Christmas. There were a Christznas tree, an exchange of gifts, and a treat for all. All then enjoyed a weeks vacation and returned with renewed energy. The girls made a Valentine box and a Valentine party was held. Every- one received many beautiful valentines. The eighth grade students are looking forward to the county examinations which will be held toward the end of the school term. Since they have only one chance this year, the majority are working hard to pass them successfully.
