CLASS HISTORY It was the fall of'4 8. A beautiful day but the bells sadly tolled the end of three months of wonderful vacation. Starting their ninth year together, Kay, Howard, Patty, and Pearl, with others picked up on the way began their first year of high school at Good Old Meadow Grove High. Sventeen scared little freshmen went through initiation and immerged as true and loyal Trojans. With Mr. Leamons as our guide we began our journey. Parties added variety to the regular schoolwork and in the spring we went to Norfolk to see a few of the sights. Everyone managed to struggle through Algebra and General Science but everything learned was forgotten the minute the final tests were over. We lost Arlan Mozer during the year and come back for the second lap of our journey with sixteen. Mr. Luttman was our sponsor and he brought us to the end of the year with flying colors. We sponsored the Christmas party this year. It was a lot of fun - what with baking and decorating cookies and trying to get some good entertainment ready. Of course, that was put off 'til the day before the party. With Mr. Luttman again as our guide we began our Junior year. The loss of Joyce Schlueter and Jeanie Pratt cut our number to fourteen. We presented the mystery play “Midnigth” during November. After seeing us perform the talent scouts were going to send some of the class to Hollywood but the teachers refused to part with- any of us. Patty Lewis left our ranks to become Mrs. Vertis Nathan at the end of the first semester. A colonial setting was used for the banquet which was given for the seniors in the spring. A colonial house, the garden gate, willow trees and a full moon in the sky made it very pretty with the meal eaten by candlelight. The class provided a royal guard for the seniors in an impressive candle-light ceremony at Commencement. Coming back in the fall of ‘5 1 for the lap of our journey we numbered eleven. This time we had lost Dick Terry and June Jenkins. We chose Mrs. Steffen to guide us through this eventful year. Getting the Annual made was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. In December we were entertained at a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Steffen. Later in the year we journeyed to Norfolk to have our pictures taken. In the spring we took off on the annual “Sneak day” which was a welcome change for everyone -Seniors, underclassmen, even the teachers. The Senior class play and the banquet came and went and graduation suddenly caught up with us. When we graduated from the eight grade the time when we would be Seniors seemed a long way off but Father Time has kept the years rolling rapidly by. May we all be as successful in the years ahead of us as we have been in those past.
