Class Blotto-Our Aim, Success: Our Hope, to XYin Class History Une bright morning in September, 1916, thirteen eager children made their way toward the red brick schoolhouse to begin their wonderful adven- tures in school life. Bliss Iimma Sutton welcomed and started them on their happy way. XXX- were promoted at the beginning of Christmas vacation into the lirst grade. .-Xt the end of the year we were ready for the second grade. Bliss Edith BYeaver led us through the second year's work. Although mischievous. I think we were regarded as a studious class. At the beginning of the third year Bliss Iflvelyn Dora became our teacher. VVe made rapid progress and at the end of that year were ready for the work of the fourth grade, under the direction of Miss Bflarjorie Hunt. VVe still retained our name, a studious class. BYhen we started in the fifth grade. to our great delight, we entered Room II and were taught by Bliss Grace Carson. BYe spent two years under her guidance. School, by this time, was opening up new wonders for us. The work of the seventh and eighth grades was presented by Mrs. Nettie Iireeman. Out of the original number but six remained, namely: Frances Ryman, Iilva Blason, Blarvin BYissler, XYillard Hauhn, Lawrence Rathfon and Yiolet Blcliee. To this number were added: Cioldia Jordan, Ruth Evans, john Gauker, Grace Curtis, Blary Ilraclway, Horace Kellam, Edgar Kearns, Blaurice XYolI, Iilla Stevens, Cloycc Bkood and Iidward Sheets. In spite of hindrances, our class progressed and in Blay, 1924, the entire class of seven- teen graduated from the common school. Un the eighth day of the following September fifteen Freshmen started on their career as high school students. BYe were looked upon, as well we might be, those green Iireshiesf' but in a short time we got in step with the high school. The second week of school the Sophomores initiated us. This made us full-Hedged Freshmen. BYe continued our work of the year and at the close of school are expecting to become Sophomores of dear old Ben- tonville High. -VIOLET MCKEIE. Page twenty-two
