Our teacher for the first year was Miss. Stella Lucier In our second year, the same students attended with the exception of Renbelle Hatleberg who went to Minnesota. Our teacher was Eleanor Thompson. Our third year of school found us missing two more of our original first graders—Betty and Bobby Hanchett—leaving only seven for our teacher, Mrs. Mary Thom, to reign over. We are diminishing$ and to start our adventurous fourth, year with Mrs. Pearl Phillips as our teacher, we have only five of our first year classmates. In 191 5, we were greeted in the school room by a new teacher, Miss. Burke, and two new classmates, Gertrude McDonald and Marlene Humber; but in taking toll we found Daniel Itami not joining us for the year. The fall of 191 6, Mary Alice Dover left us and Charlie Crabtree and Karlista Lane joined the class, Amanda E. George Lilley was our teacher. We are now sixth graders. Our seventh year found Karlista Lane and Marlene Humber missing. We were moved to the high school and had two teachers, Mr. Ashcraft and Mr. Jay.

There were only five of us graduating this year-these were Gertrude McDonald, Ella Dover, Joan Fairbanks, Charlie Crabtree, and Bennie Peterson. We were honored by a banquet given by the seventh graders. In our Freshman year, Jean Ann Kevin was a new member. Marlene Humber, and Hayden Rentfrow returned to be initiated with the rest of us, which was a lot of fun. The teachers were Mr. Ell, Supt., Mrs. Woodard, English teacher, and Miss Mulvihill our commercial teacher, we took part in a play called the «Night Cry”.

 When we arrived at his house there were a group of children playing in the yard Innocently 1 asked him which of the nine children were his. Only eight’of them M hb replied.. The oilier one is; the neighbor’s, hoy51. After meeting his wife, he introduced me to his eight kids. Their names were: Percival, Aurelius, Archimides, Sophocles, Constantine, Petrofsky, Penelope, and Delphinia. The. next morning I left for Smack over, Arkansas, to interview Joan fairlaife. Arriving at :Smackover l ocated lhis:’ was the company which Joan worked for. I learned that Joan was the General Manager of lining Company. Joan was really quite shocked to see me. She told nut that after graduating she whizzed through a four year business course in three years eleven months twenty two days eight hours and thirty two minutes, after which she joined the Amalgamated lining Co. and rapidly worked her way to the top of this huge business enterprise. In addition to being General Manager of this huge enterprise she is also chief cook and bottle washer for her two nan crew. I left Smackover the next morning at 10:00 and landed at the Petersen Hacienda at 10:29- Ben and Betty and their 10 girls rushed out to greet me as I came to an atonic stop. As I stepped from my fl; bug, there spread before me was the great Metropolis of Buffalo which had grovfo from a pop. of 86 in 1953 to a pop. of 96 in 1973. Thus ended my research to the whereabouts and occupations of the Brilliant class of 1933. Upon turning in my report to my boss.
