SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When the school house doors opened the last of August in 1951, thirteen hanpy little youngsters filed into the first grade. Mrs. Doty greeted: Alan Alkire, Won Bush, Susan DeBoy, Larry Gould, Carol Green, Doran Hufford,Janet Hurst, Ray Lintner, Mary Ann Moore, Sybil Rusk, Roger Ummel, Rick Nidmer,and Janie Yost. Many new and interesting things revealed themsemes to these inquitisive little minds. Never to be forgotten was the wonderful Christmas when Santa came to school to shake hands with all the first graders. Christmas hdhdays were over and hack to school went the Dayton stummtsg each would asain fit into his little niche. Janet Hurst went to Colfax to school this semester and Lonna Gunninq came to Dayton from Frankfort so the same enrollment was maintained but a change in personnel. School moved on as usual and soon there were thirteen jolly second graders. The second term found these same students with Mrs. Nantz for their in- structor. Never to he forqotten was the WEaster Eqg Huntn which was quite a thrill to everyone. School did not seem so amazing this year and before any- one realized it, that term was rapidly drawinq to a close. With six weeks to ao, here came a new pupil. Thisgirl's nanle was Eva Gipson and she was from Otterhein. That was a fine thinz, for now there were fourteen in the class. Summer came and went. The same fourteen were now in Mrs. Sandifur's third wrade. This year brouaht many deucational ventures. There were always so many interestinq thinms to see or read about and Mrs. Sandifur took the entire class to visit Chamberlinfs Ice Cream Factory. Another vastly differ- ent oroiect was a trip to Wells Public Library in Lafayette. It was with a feelinq of sadness that fourteen boys and girls left Mrs. Sandifur and emharked on the ship of UFourth Grade.N Mike Babb transferred to Dayton from Frankfort and joined the healthy under the tutorship of Mrs. Krochta. The fifth term was spent with Nrs.McCarty and another new face appeared --that of Steven Arihood from Bloomington. It seemed as though wonders would never cease fbrtheclass enjoyed and airplane rideatthe Indianapolis Airport. The final year hefore nJunior Hiqhn--that coveted time--started with 18 firls and l5 boys. Mrs. Aldrich, our daily guide and school mother, chaper- oned us on a field trip to Indianapolis. Good etiquette had been one phase of health so the class was taken to a restaurant to eat. Passing grades must have heen sanctioned for in the afternoon there was shopping and a movie for all. Junior High School seemed quite different. All of those different tea- chers and then more new students. Mary Sue Goris from Christian, and Tom Painter with Mike Siple also joined the growing ranks. A trip to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry was a real thrill. There was in- sufficient time to see it all but for teenagers the sight was unbelievable. The eiehth Trade history class, under the supervision of Mrs. Pryor, found Treat interest in the trip to Turkey Run State Park. The September fear for all Freshman was now at hand and initiation was no lonqer in the offina. Dwizht Fisher and Terry Thomas joined the green freshies at the midyear. The red corduroyed sophomores moved on with little excitement. Janet Fultz from East Tipp helped to swell the class as Juniors. The class play, Winnie Get Your Gunn was directed by Mrs. Adler. The Junior- Senior Prom, a joy to any class, was one of those never-to-be-fo1'go tten events. The 1962-1963 term broufght Shirlee Semon and now the enrollment mounted to twenty-five. The class play, WGrandma's Best Yearsn was directed by Mr. Appleton. How very anxious everyone was to be a Senior, but, now with grad- uation nearinq, it doesn't seem so exciting. ' In departing, the class wishes to leave Dayton School with a commemkmle record for service and attainments.
