CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1935 there were 31 pupils entered in the first grade at good old Jimtown. Out of that group there are six of us who have continued all 12 years of our school life together. They are: Helen Cook, Vernice Garl, Beulah Moore, Jim Doty, Gene Pickrell, and Frank Deak. It was in this year, under the instruction of Miss Luella Lewis, that we learned to read, write, and count to 100. Miss Burns CMrs. Frances Armstrongj was our second grade teacher. We made a wigwam and took turns eating our lunch in it. The school having burned the year before, our third grade classroom was the middle section of the cafeteria. Our teacher, Miss Cook CMrs. Ruth Hunsbergerb had usmake butter. Inadequate space made it necessary for our fourth grade to be divided into two groups under Miss Baker fMrs. Bonieta Myersj and Miss Wilma Culp. The group under Miss Baker made and presented the puppet show, Snow White and thc Seven Dwarfs. Our fifth grade teacher was Mrs. Hallman CMrs. Hunterj. Miss Lucille Malcolm, our sixth grade teacher, read us many good books which we enjoyed very much. The next year we entered Junior High with Miss Alice Housour as our teacher. The main attraction this year was attending a show at the Elco. It was in the eighth grade that our teacher, Mr. Weldy, prepared us to enter High School. At the end of the school year we were proud to receive our Eighth Grade Diplomas. In 1942 we entered High School. Tony Lese, Ray Miller, Darwin Wenger, Violet Perkey, Eleane Umsted, Helen Maloney, Eugene Green, Howard Dils, and Jack Hofferth joined us and have continued through high school with us. We learned this year that in changing from one class to another, one did not merely hurry down the hall: one barreled. We organized our class, choosing James Spake as president: Ray Miller, vice president: Beulah Moore, secretary and treasurer: Vernice Garl, re- porter: and William Wachs, sergeant-at-arms. In October we were entertained at an initiation given by the sophomores. Cider, apples, pop-corn, and sandwiches were served as refreshments. The shocking slide and feeding us fish worms fcooked spaghettij were some of the main attractions. We had two class parties that year, a weiner roast at Studebaker Park and a hayride. In 1943, Lois Ewing joined our Sophomore class. Class oflicers were: Tony Lese, president: Ray Miller, vice president: Beulah Moore, secre- tary and treasurer: Violet Perkey, reporter: and Jim Doty, Sergeant-at-arms. This year we initi- ated the Freshmen which we, of course, enjoyed very much. We had a Christmas party and everyone brought a toy for the grab-bag. We had a lot of fun play- The 1946 School Bell Echoes ing with the toys that evening, then we gave them to the Mishawaka Orphanage. We also had an ice-skating party and served hot chocolate and barbecues for refreshments. Vacation ended all too soon, and again we were back in the assembly to begin our Junior year, only this year we had advanced and now occupied the seats on the south side of the assembly. Officers elected this year were: Arden Stouder. president: Lois Ewing, vice president: Beulah Moore, treasurer: Sandra Kauffman, secretary: and James Doty, Sergeant-at-arms. During the year we sponsored a roller skating party at the Osceola Roller Rink and presented the play The Hoosier Schoolmasterf' We sold mag- azine subscriptions and were very successful. This year we tried to outdo every other Junior Class by trying to choose the prettiest class rings. Then came the big event of the season, the Junior-Senior banquet. We entertained the sen- iors in the school gymnasium which was decorated by carrying out the senior class colors, blue and white, in the theme of a Dutch garden. At last our dreams had come true, we were in our last year of High. Officers were: Howard Dils, president: Darwin Wenger, vice president: Beulah Moore, treasurer: Lois Ewing, secretary: and James Doty, sergeant-at-arms. We had a treasure hunt and Weiner roast at Studebaker Park. This year we were entertained at two banquets, the Junior-Senior banquet sponsored by the Jun- iors, and the Alumni banquet. Then the biggest event of all came, the one we had been waiting for all 12 years. On the evening of April 18, we proudly marched on the stage to receive our diplomas. Our high school days are over. Will the rest of our dreams come true? It remains for the fu- ture to tell. Will Helen Maloney become a concert soprano? Will Ray Miller get his orchestra? Will Eleane Umsted ever hook Frank Deak? Will Gene Pick- rell ever work? Will Helen Cook always be hunt- ing 5AAAA shoes? Will Lois Ewing marry Loren? Will Beverly Lewis ever hook a man? Will Howard Dils ever stop farming? Will Frank Deak always run a garage? Will James Doty ever lose his figure? Will Vernice Garl ever get tired of skating and run her bachelor's home? Will James Spake ever stop chasing women? Will Violet Perkey and Beulah Moore always run around together? Will Sandra Kauffman ever lose that laugh? Will Gloria Miller ever lose her red hair? What will Jack Hofferth enjoy most now since he won't be able to skip school anymore? Will Darwin Wenger ever get a new car or will he always keep his Model T? Will Eugene Green ever get hooked by Annabell? Will Donald Gor- don ever get a sweater with more than one stripe? And finally, whose grave will Tony Lese dig next? By HELEN COOK and BEULAH MOORE. 19
