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
