SENIORS CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1939, the Senior Class first had a taste of school life. In the kindergarten class, tutored by Mrs. March, were Aaron Wright, John Wittrock, Hank Mann, Junior Mackey, John Theden and Harley Luther. All of these, with the exception of Harley, who moved away in the third grade and came back in the eighth, have gone through thirteen years together. Jackie Wagenknecht and reading were both new to the first grade. Their teacher was Mi88 Fox. In the second grade, under Miss Burkett, the class was blessed with another addition, Edith Tate. Miss Burkett was the Student Council Sponsor. Carolyn Hiett and Frank Smith were fondly added to the class in the third grade. Under Miss Snyder the class learned their arithmetic very well--or else! The fourth graders studied geography under Miss Woods. In the fifth grade, under the direction of Miss Sanders, Malinda Stolfus and George Sprague left Wilder to attend McDanield. Most of the girls entered Camp Fire Girls. Lois Owens, Janice McCully, and Albia DeMaranville were the new additions to the sixth grade. Under Ann Dean the class had many good times together. The seventh grade came and Junior High! The class was disappointed because they chang- ed the Junior High rooms from upstairs to down by the office. It was more convenient for the principal who taught! Mary Ellen Huonker, Bob Penrod, and Ralph Brown joined the class that year. Under Miss Defenbaugh and Mr. Eichman, the class settled down to hard work. The eighth grade brought the addition of Melvin Huonker. The teachers, along with Mr. Eichman, were Mrs. Greene and Miss Heyl. There were many highlights for the eighth grad- ers, their most important being the Field Day . Then graduation came; on to Bonner High where they met many more friends, who joined their class. The Freshman class boasted of several new members. Barbara McKee, Robbie Milner, Barbara Risk, Juanita Eaton, Margaret Pierce, Ruth Arnold, Arlene Venerable, Betty Gomez, Utah Harris, Barbara Shaver, Vernon Simms, Ralph Handley, John Stanford and Chuck Miller were added to the enrollment. Jackie Wagenknecht was president. In the Sophomore class--led by Barbara McKee--Estella M a n n , Rosemary Tichenor, Edna Pilger, Jim Dotson, Glenn Huffman and Jerry Whitehead came to Bonner High. Then to the rank of Upperclassmen------- The Juniors welcomed Shirley Hutson and Cheryl Baugh to their class. With the help of Mr. Pflaumer, they staged a swell Prom; the theme was a circus. Gus Ramirez was the only Senior addition, coming here from St. Joseph, Missouri. Now--------the end of their Senior year. For some of them this will be the last school they‘11 ever attend. Others will go on to college, but all will lead individual lives and take their place in this world. No matter what they do or where they go, this class of 1952 will bear in mind the memor- ies and happiness they've had together. 9
