HISTORY Our dear, sweet little cherubs with eager anticipation, which dimmed in later years, entered the first grade in 1939. There We learned our A, B, C's and all the girls picked their first boyfriends. .Tourneying to the Hill School, we entered second grade where we met Miss Bittle. Under her supervision we continued our studies in the 3R's. These two little cherubs can't remember too much of second grade, but in third grade we remember our various trips. On one occasion we visited the Krall farm to better acquaint ourselves with farm life. Another time we traveled to Albert's Bakery shop to see how our bread was baked. Our teacher that year was Miss Schell. Continuing our climb toward the top, we invaded fourth grade and added a few gray hairs to Miss Klopp's head. After our little demons left fourth grade, we entered fifth grade and were met by Miss Uhrich. We remember Miss Uhrich for the hair ribbons and various seat- ing arrangements. Before leaving, Joel Wiest wrote a song entitled, "Let's Re- member Miss Uhrich" sung to the tune of "Let's Remember Pearl Harbor. " Finally we reached the top of grammar school. There with the help of Miss Gruber we were introducedto our first school library. After finishing our grammar school education, we left, looking forward to our first year in junior high. Oh, dear! Seventh grade and we'll never find all the different rooms. New to us -was the moving from room to room, doing without recess, and participating in extra-curricular activities. And Study Hall, what a horribly noisy place--maybe that was because we were there. Do these little cherubs recall how "ga-ga" they were over their young hand- some math. teacher, Mr. Hammerman? Eighth grade, where steady couples bloomed like dandelions and faded just as quickly, was a glorious experience. After selecting our courses in eighth grade, we pushed on to ninth where many students were found inhabiting the corners of science classes. On the last lap of our education we entered senior high. While in tenth grade we chose green and gray as our class colors. Then for awhile everyone was sporting his new hats and jackets. Our studies were harder and we spent more time doing homework than we had in our previous grades, at least we thought so. No one, during the eleventh grade year, wore gloves, just so he could exhibit his lovely class rings. It was surprising how many we saw on the underclassmen's fingers. Our Prom called "Moonlight And Roses" proved to be very successful and very beautiful. We actually made itl We were seniors! Now we really began to work. Money, Money, Money, that was our theme. Our yearbook, class play, and our climactic trip to New York kept us as busy as beavers. As we graduate into the world, we remember these wonderful years, spent with our teachers and friends.
