Sophomore Class History 51 a sunny day in September, 1926, a group of twenty-one small, but happy boys and girls entered school at Dorset. After a while we learned that we were not supposed to write on the blackboard with crayons or talk in school time. After many ups and downs, we reached the seventh and eighth grades. Those were wonderful daysfespecially when report cards came out. In 19341, we were proud and happy as we climbed the agolden stairsv of D. H. S. into that heaven called the Freshmen year. It turned out to be less heavenly than we expected however. VVQ admit that we found ourselves in the midst of a couple of French classes before we finally got our schedules worked out correctly. We elected as our Freshmen officers: Vera Allen, President, Franklyn lVIcGill, Vice President, lllarie Allen,iSecretaryg and Retagene Bailey, Treasurer. Soon came initiation, but the most fun of all was the mass wiener roast at the school grounds. Several Cherry Valley pupils had 1'aised our class membership to thirty-one. The Sophomore year is proving very successful. llliss Fleck is our Home Room Advisor. The class officers for this year are: Harold Piper, President, Howard Kyle, Vice President, Retagene Bailey, Secretary, and Domingo iMedina, Treasurer. VVe brought the 1935 Freshmen into the high school suitably. This proves to be the most exciting year of high school. There are twenty-seven members in the class now, and the seven faithful members who have been in the class for ten years are: Vera Allen, Retagene Bailey, Uno Eskline, Stanford Jewell, Howard Kyle, Robert lVIason, and Marie Allen.

Freshman Class History IN 1927, a group of twenty boys and girls entered the first grade with Miss Knapp as teacher. The year passed quite uneventfully for onlookers, but the group of swiftly learning students were most intensely interested in reading short stories of Mother and the kitty, learning to add, and to write their own names. The second grade offered new adventures with lNIiss Stewart teaching. The second grade room was then where the fifth and sixth room now is located. The new teacher in the third and fourth grades was Bliss Lane. This was another quite frightening adventure until we got started. The fifth grade was taught by Miss Mellinger, when We entered that class. The sixth year found us in the same room with hir. Keep teaching. The boys of the class were especially elated to have a man teacher who they thought would better understand them. The seventh grade introduced a new teacher in Miss Goodman of VVayne. She taught and worked patiently and tirelessly with us and for us. The eighth grade was under Miss Goodman again, and this year we were better acquainted. In the eighth grade We took a more lively interest in the Good Citizens, Club. The club was organized to make better citizens of the students and many important objectives were carried out. And now we are Freshmen. Looking back, we find that of the twenty-seven entering the ninth grade there are only nine of the group that started together. They are: Gail Buzzard, Robert Haines, Virginia lNIead, Jack Fuller, Blartin Eskeline, Aloize Liszewiski, Beverly lyloses, Olive Ruby Asp and Virginia lNIcCoy. The other eighteen have moved into Dorset from neighboring communities. The Freshman Class officers are: Virginia hleade, President, Virginia McCoy, Vice President, Lucille lNIcConnell, Secretary-Treasurer. VVe Freshmen will be remembered for our successful Valentine party, if for nothing else. By Virginia lNIcC0y Twenty-three
