Yvonne Rothwell In the fall of '47 a group of eager children entered Junior High School with sixty members, all of whom hoped to finish this school term and to continue the coming yearsltogether. Under the guiding hand of Miss Bowe, the home room teacher, the seventh graders are looking forward to the future when they will have become eligible to enter Senior High School. They intend to do all that they possibly can, and will- ingly, to promote any activities that will be of any benefit to the school. Each year they will be bigger and better. Co-operation is needed if the seventh graders obtain the goal for which they are strivlng. 22

Qidlfdftq S WE LOOK back upon our twelve years of trying as well as ioyous school days, we, the Senlor Class of i948, find that we have set some records and have ac- complished much. First and foremost in our record is that of being the largest class ever to graduate from Blanchester High School. Since this class is made up, not only of students of the Blanchester school district, but also of students of the neigh- boring villages of Edenton and Butlerville, we will include the history of these classes up until the Freshman year, in their own schools. Flrst, however, let us look back twelve years into the past in Blanchester. In the year 1936, fifty-three boys and girls entered the first grade in Blanchester School. Of this large class, only fourteen are now members of the Senior Class. They are as follows: Betty Lou Culberson, Anne Dewey, Richard Dewey, Ann Ferneau, Joanne Foster, Dan Garrison, Betty Jo Griffith, Donald Harness, Patricia Kelly, Bette Jane Patterson, Mary Esther Shaffer, Lewis Shank, Jimmy Joe Smith, and Beverly Villars. During our six-year stay in the old building as elementary pupils we lost many of our fellow-classmates but gained the following: Second grade-Eugene Lucas, from Woodville, Barbara Snyder from Omaha, Nebraska, Paul High, from Edenton. Third grade-Betty Ruth Sattertield. Fifth grade-Beatrice Valentine from Butlerville, Max Taylor. Sixth grade-Robert Magill, Clayton Brumfield from Edenton. Also while we were still students in the elementary grades we acquired several honors. One of the biggest of these, of which we are all proud, is that of winning Bibles and New Testaments in the fifth grade for selling pictures. In l942, we entered the new building as Junior High students in the seventh grade. During this year we acquired two new students, Harry Ledford from Butler- ville, and Vera Brown from Clarksville. Our eighth grade was increased by four people: Clarence France from Frankfort, Daryl Cadwallader from Jefferson, Pauletta Davidson from Morrow, and Willodene Moore from Edenton. In this grade we all saved our nlckles and dimes and bought a S25 war bond. Also, -as is customary, an American Legion Award was given to the girl and to the boy with the most out- standing records in this grade. Clayton Brumfield and Ann Ferneau were given these awards. Edenton Meanwhile in Edenton another part of this class was being formed. ln the little two-room school house began a class of twenty-four, of which three remain. The originals who have been together for these past twelve years are: Virginia Charles- 24
