-22 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The history of our class is rather unusual. The first grade net enrollment was thirty-five, plus eight who enter- ed and withdrew, making a total of forty-three. Only eight have continued together this far. They are Martha L0uiSG Carter, Gretchen Graham, Maribel Speakman, Patsy Templin, Dorothy Weidinger, George Pryor Harmount, Eugene Mace, and Guy Zurmehly Jr. We started in 1929, with Mrs. Frank Tay- lor as our teacher. Our teachers from the second to the sixth grade, in- Clusivc, were as follows: Miss Una Ater Chrs. Orris Mallowy, Miss Hazel Aoord Chrs. Tylor Lowej, Miss Gladys SatohC11 Cmrs. Francis McCollisterJ, Miss Edna Campbell, and Kiss Audrey Skinner. Our home room teacher in the seventh grade was Miss Peecher, the eighth Mr. Dennis, and this year Miss Tissler. We were the second class to enter the seventh grade under the new junior high system. The following year, 1957, we entered the new high school building. Thus we have been in all four buildings. In the eighth year, the girl's trio, Gretchen Graham, Martha Louise Carter, and Patsy Templin, won first place over the Atlanta trio in the Atlanta-Clarks- burg Music contest. We had the first eighth grade commence- ment in many years. There were thirty-six who received diplomas. The enrollment of our Freshman Class was thirty-six at the beginning of the school year and at the present is thirty- one. James Williams, Earl Reisinger, and Ora Downing dis- continued their school work. Due to serious illness, Lucille McDonald withdrew from the school. The untimely death of Robert Pelfrey, March 20, 1958, caused the other break in our ranks this year. We collected money to send to President Roosevelt for the nParadc of Dimesu, thus aiding in the curing of infantile paralysis. The class wrote a letter to the President, and included a picture of Lucille McDonald, our classmate, patient in the iron lung at Ohio State University Hospital. The iron lung was purchased from the proceeds of Birthday Balls in former years. Three of our classmates received school letters. Meribel Speakman achieved hers as cheerleader. Jack Minser and Darrell Templin earned theirs as players on the basketball team. Our class hopes to continue together and become the larg- est class ever to be graduated from Clarksburg High School.
