OUR HISTORY We are now Seniors. As we look back through the years we see many unforgettable events, some happy, some sad. These events were all a part of growing up, and in this way we shaped our lives for the future. The first day of school started with our bus ride. What a thrill! The steps seemed extra large as we tried our best to reach them. As we got to school Mrs. Mosier greeted 36 of us at the door and told us where we should sit. Our very own desks! My, how grown-up we felt. As the days progressed we learned that we were to have a fire drill. When the firebell rang Sandra Hade couldn't resist the temptation of seeing her favorite teddy bear burned. Quickly she rescued her possession and proceeded with the fire drill. At that time the big attraction on the playground was the new slide. Many recesses were spent trying it out. After recess we always looked forward to story time, the best time of the day. In the first grade we also learned something along the education line, learning to tell time, printing our names and numbers and reading stories about Alice and Jerry. Mrs. Shaull met us in the second grade with more stories and learning. This was the first year we won the seed contest. With our money we purchased nursery rhyme pictures which are still in the second grade rooms. While in the second grade we presented a play which was all about the circus. As we advanced to the third grade, Mrs. Biddle taught us our multiplication tables, English, geography, and health. Some of our accomplishments were checking out library books, weaving on a loom and finger painting. In winter we enjoyed the thrilling western serials that were shown at the noon hour. In the fourth grade we met more new adventures. We had our first lesson in playing the tonette. Miss Betty Miller read stories about Heidi . We learned that sentences should not be started with because . Many holes were worn in our workbook and many erasers were worn to nothing. The fifth grade started with Mrs. Bell teaching us our three R's . Mr. Bare took over our grade at the end of the first semester. Every morning we started the day with our favor- ite song I've Got the Love of Jesus and many games and quizzes. That year Mr. Bare made a baseball diamond for the girls. For the boys he arranged baseball games and tourna- ments. Mrs. Cloutier met us in the sixth grade. This year we elected a housekeeper, so each of us got a taste of cleaning up the room. Each month we made art pictures and put them into booklet form. At the end of our school day we listened to The Golden Eagle Mystery . In this grade we helped present the operetta The Cobbler of Fairylandn. With Mr. Mehaffey as our class advisor, we started into Junior High School. That year we received a party for winning the magazine contest. Lennard Montgomery left us this year to move to Kentucky with his parents. Miss Robinson advised us in our second year of Junior High School. Our class won many honors in the eighth grade test, including a first in the county in history and mathe- matics. Three of our class were in the top ten of the county in total scores and twenty were in the upper twenty-five percentile. We had another party this year for winning the maga- zine contest again. When the end of this year came, we received diplomas entitling us to go on to High School. In our Freshman year, under the advisorship of Coach Crosby we won the magazine contest for the third year in a row. We started the year out right by getting initiated into High School by the Seniors. Those joining us that year were Gene Hill, Nancy Chaffee, Ro- berta Chaney, Judith Hanna, and Peg McCoy. Our advisors were Mr. Chaney and Mr. Ridley for our Sophomore year. Russell Straus- baugh left us this year to attend a Fremont School. Lennard Montgomery, who had not been with us since the seventh grade, rejoined us this year. At the end of this year, a class- mate for many years, Lynda Laux, left us to move into the Green Springs School District. continued on page 20
