In September of 1927, one-hundred and four girls and boys entered the first grade of the West Carrollton School—these were the future Seniors of 1939. Our class was the largest first grade this far in the history of West Carrollton School, thus creating a new problem for the teachers. This large class was divided into three sections under the guidance of Miss De Ford, Miss Shepherd, and Miss Bonnereau. The first four years were the most impressive of our entire schooling, for here we learned the fundamental principles which we were to apply in the coming years. Our teachers were as follows: Second Grade—Miss Stocker and Miss Martz. Third Grade—Miss Anderson and Miss Shaffer. Fourth Grade—Miss Dcoblc and Miss Beal. Now we have entered the fifth grade, and for the first time we had more than one-teacher. This year we thoroughly enjoyed, for it was so different from the preceding four. At last we have reached the half-way mark—the sixth grade. This was a very important year, for we were looking forward to the sixth grade commencement. There were eighty-two pupils promoted to the seventh grade. These two years we were under the supervision of Mr. Cavender, Mrs. Stoughton, Miss Coryell, and Miss Rauch. The seventh and eighth grades passed quickly for we were eagerly awaiting to enter Senior High School. The teachers for these two years were: Seventh Grade—Miss Davis and Mr. Kerns. Fighth Grade—Miss Woodman and Mr. Kerns. Then came the Freshman year, hence many new experiences; first the election of class officers and then the problem of earning money for the forthcoming events. This year was a very promising year and the future looked bright. Also, it gave us an idea of what the next three years were to be like. T he home-room teachers for this year were Miss Woodman and Mr. Kerns. In the Sophomore year new interests came to us. The girls were allowed to join the Girl Reserve Club, and the boys Hi-Y. We found these clubs very interesting and beneficial. And so ended another year of our school life. Our advisers were Miss Woodman and Mr. Hartline. Junior Year—The outstanding event of this year was the Junior and Senior Reception, which proved highly successful. Our Junior play, The Marlenhurg Necklace”, was given under the direction of Mr. Brown, our adviser for the year. Our eleventh year then came to an end. Senior Year—The previous three years of high school advanced very fast and now we are Seniors. We have selected our announcements and name cards, also completed the task of having our pictures taken. The Senior class play, Along Came Peggy”, was given on March 31, under the direction of Miss Marsh. Although we have lost many of our fellow students along the way, yet several new members have joined us from other schools. We find, in this the last year of our high school, thirty-three remaining out of the one-hundred-four that started in 1927. They are: Lorraine Anderson, Phyllis Bailey, Anita Branner, Zelma Baker, Alberta Ellis, Zola Hinkson, Dawn Loesch, Eleanor Schuder, Freda Stewart, Glenna Taylor, Norma Tucker, Eva W illis, Geneva Wilson, Una White, Doris Zink, Arthur Chamberlain, Tom Eckley, Joe Flory, Nathan Gephart, Herbert Greggcrson, Norman Hartzell, Joe Himebaugh, Ned Himehaugh, George Hoffman, Jack Hupman, James Hupman, William Johnson, James Kingery, Junior Moses, Bob Shell, Richard Mor-ter, Walter Vastbinder, and Wallace Wickline.
