f7l.:. Ji. Ou, .S'.l.00f elif.. CE... O 61 ln September of 1949, eighty-tour frightened, but eager children approached the doors of Albion, Huntington, Spencer, and Sullivan Schools. , Of this group entering first grade, the following students have continued through twelve long and hard years. At Albion, Joe Malce, Sharon Rex, Philip Simoox, Duane Snoddy, Pat Stevenson, and David Trapp were under the guidance of Mrs. Helen Cupp. Later, Connie Billheimer and Susan Bridgett ioined their class. Huntington's first grade class consisted of Joan Heiffner, John Jordan, and David Weyer with Mrs. Lucille Murray as their teacher. In the small community of Spencer, Janet Avery, Linda Butcher, Connie Clifford, Gary Dewar, Raymond Garn, Karen Kari, John McReynolds, Linda Shultz, and Donald Van Meter com- posed a pleasant group of first graders taught by Mrs. Wreatha Dickason . ln another county, yet only ten miles away, in Sullivan, Mrs. Phyllis Alieo was teaching another group destined to become members of the present senior class. This class was composed of Kenneth Berry, Larry Blessing, Susan Burkhart, Henry Cowhick, Judy Dennis, Raymond Gast, Connie Hyde, Sue Keillor, Joan Shoulter, and Leslie Meininger. Second grade at Albion faced confusing circumstances because Mrs. Lola Hisey left during the middle of the year. We were placed most graciously in the trusty hands of Miss Margaret Sooy. Brenda Boyd was a welcomed newcomer to Mrs. Murray 's second grade class at Huntington, while Miss Jane Lawrence tried to guide her subiect at Spencer. Meanwhile, at Sullivan, they were divided into two groups with Mrs. Helen Workman and Mrs. Alma Livingston as their teachers. During this year Joan Davis became our newest member. ln our third year Albion was under the able supervision of Mrs. Kathryn Soka, Mrs.. Hazel Koons taught the third grade at Huntington, and Mrs. Sarah Clement was the teacher at Spencer. lt was in this grade that Rose Ann Kurtz ioined their class. Once rnore Sullivarr's third graders were reunited, with Mrs. Livingston taking over the procedures. Fourth grade classes at Huntington were again fortunate to be taught by Mrs. Koons, and Albion pupils were new occupants of the Homer School Building with Mrs. Neva Lowe as our happy instructor. At the same time Mrs. Bertha Rowe's fourth grade class in Spencer, suffered growing pains namely, Richard Heilman and Richard Rook. Mrs. Cupp and Mrs. Isabelle Clouser taught two separate groups of devil-lightful fourth graders at Sullivan. lt was during this year that Rosemary Bowling joined them. Mrs. Margaret Hunt was Huntington's fifth grade supervisor and Mrs. Lowe was again teacher at Homer, while Spencer's fifth grade was taught by Mrs. Doris Klme. Sullivan fifth grade classes were still divided, under the direction of Mrs. Clouser and Mrs. Freda'Baker. John Bell ioined as a new student and Leslie Meininger left the class. Homer's sixth grade teacher was Mrs. Cupp. Because of Mrs. Hunt's illness, the sixth grade class of Huntington was fortunate to have Rev. Clark, and Mrs. Jo Anne Keep as their substitute teachers for the remaining part of the year. Mr. Jack Lizotte was Spencer's director. That year the class split at its seams with the arrival of Virginia Bradley, David Leidorff, Janet Svirik, and Jerry Veverka. The sixth graders were very happy to be reunited at Sullivan, and after getting acquainted all over again, and finding a room large enough to house us, we settled down under the supervision of Mrs. Baker. Seventh grade brought new experiences with each subject being taught by different teachers, and the changing of classes. Mr. Orlando Shilts was the homeroom teacher at Huntington and Mrs. Marian Debow was advisor at Homer. Spencer entered their seventh year with Mrs. Rosemary Stoll as director, while at Sullivan Miss Lilian Duncan was in charge. New students were Loretta Dawson, David Howe, and Doyle Oxender, and Leslie Meininger reioined them. isle
