The fifth grade .found us with no additions to our group. We were ruled by Mrs. Miller. In the sixth grade Tom and Sue Christian, Gary Enderby, Gerald Rinard, and Fred Forester made our class larger. Many members spent this year by standing in corners for punishment. But we really didn't mind because we knew Mrs. Miller was just preparing us for the seventh grade. Then this group went on to Jr. High. It was a big thrill to change classes and have different teachers. Above all other teachers, the Sullivan students remember Mr. Weaver. A day never went by without some boy getting a spanking. On a few days every boy in class got one but the girls didn't fnot that they didn't deserve itlj. He just didn't believe in spanking sugar and spice and everything nice!! This year our home- room teacher was Miss Duncan. In the eighth grade eight new students joined us from the Hungtington School. They were: Nancy Jordan, Olvia McMillan, Shirley Balkin, Larry Jordan, Gary Wacker, Tom McKean, Judy Parker, and Richard Fugitt. In this year interest of the students changed rapidly. For the boys it was cars, sports, and girls. For the girls it was boys, clothes, and hair styles. Our warden this year was Mr. Kemper. Finally, we were high school students. Larry Thompsonjoined and left our class this year. The teacher who spied on us all year round was Mr. Albright. Since we were the lowest form of high school students, all the seniors looked down -on us. Through these nine years many students left us. They were: Harry Calame, Paulette Goodson, Shirley Orcutt, Nancy Pfeiffer, Robert Gregg, Janet and Lyle Baon, Marie Hall, Tom and Sue Christian, Gary Enderby, and Gerald Rinard, A new year and a new school. We were now high school sophomores in the newly consolidated Black River High School. It was a strange world of mass confusion. Turmoil filled the halls as the students tried to find their classes. Electricians and builders worked for completion of the school. ,The buzz of saws and the hammering of nails could be heard in many classes. In our sophomore year, we held a dance which proved quite a success. Various bake sales were held to raise money for the class. Ed Bahl, Karen Davidson, and Sharon Sweet joined us this year, while Sharon Farnsworth, Avalon Priscantelli, Judy Parker, and Richard Fugitt left us. Our junior year started out somewhat more organized than our first year at B.R.H.S, Many new things and much excitement was ahead for a fun-filled year. Vivian Morgan and Alice LaMar joined our ranks this year. The class of '63 chose and received their class rings, which was the highlight of the junior year. I The juniors were given charge of refreshmentnsales at the basketball games. Magazine subscriptions were sold as a class fund-raising project. The junior class presented the play The Great Big Doorstep, with an outstanding cast. Much work went into the Junior-Senior Prom to develop the theme An Evening on the Islands. Our Prom night was a big evening for all. This is the year we were given the Iowa State Development Tests. We also lost three members of our class: Vivian Morgan, Robert Kirvel, and Carl Stuart. The big year had finally arrived. We were now seniors. With continual events, members of the senior class were kept very busy. Numerous projects were used to make money for the class. Among these were: football game concessions, candy sales, and annual advertisements. We, as aclass,chose our motto,flower,class colors, color of robes for graduation, and our invitations. This year Virginia Vanetta left us. Baccalaureate, Commencement, and the promises for the future engross each senior as he faces a broader world full of opportunities for him.
