Glass History On August 30, 1937, thirty-six pupils began their school years at Dow City. They were: Donna Mae Fischer, Don Griffin, Marie Chr-istensen, Gordon Dryden, Lowell Mayne, Robert Doyle, Bobby Tilitt, James Houston, Duane Hansen, Mary Lou Sharp, Evelyn Igou, Clarence Smith, Lois Keairnes, Louise Johnson, Wilma McCoid, John Brink, Joan Weber, Jimmie Buss, Wendell Birkhofer, Anna Lou Anderson, Minnie Malone, Loren Siemer, Virginia Cook, Charles Vore, Virginia Phillips, Leola Mae Coburn, Ruth Mayer, Kenneth Jenkins, Irene Weber, Norman Brady, Betty Jane Brasel, Frances Riley, Shirley Pritchett, Norman Hansen, Earl Norris, and Wayne Greene. We'll always know Don Griffin will remember the dog house, which was under Mis! Metcalf's desk in second grade. We'll always remember dressing as Indians. and pilgrims in Miss Wigg,in's room and parading around to show the other classes at Thanksgiving time. Marie Christensen's untimely death took place in the third grade. It was caused by an attack of appendicitis. We can all attribute our writing ability to Miss Turnland, because it was many push- pulls and ovals we had to make for her before we got them approved. Loren, we wonder if you climb the steel pipes in high school like you used to do in the seventh grade! The teachers we had in the grades are as follows: Miss Agnes, Miss McBride, Miss Metcalf, Miss Wiggins, Miss Riley, Miss Hanigan, Miss Turnland, Miss Egenes, and Miss Johnson. We started high school in the fall of 1946. The following students began with us: Anna Lou Anderson, Norman Brady, Raymond Bramley, Betty Jane Brasel, John Brink, Jimmie Buss, Gordon Dryden, Mary Jane Ettleman, Gerald F einhold, Don Griffin, Juanita i-Iamblen, Duane Hansen, James Houston, Lois Houston, Lois Keairnes, Jeanne Kelbl, Leola Kolln, Vernon Malone, Marvin Price, Frances Riley, Clarence Smith, Joe Smith, Joan Weber, Phyllis Weber, and Russell Winn. We all dreaded initiation, but in a way were glad to see it come. Initiation was sort of a flop: it was held uptown in front of the show house, during a carnival. The Freshman class gave a hayride for the rest of the students. Mr. Ballantine was the hit of this party, es- pecially when he stood on his head in the hayrack. This was the first year for girls' basket- ball for some time and we all remember the trouble we had in learning the fundamentals, An operetta was given in our Sophomore year by Miss Carter. Many students took part in it and it was very successful. What would the Earling people say if they saw the Dow City Seniors coming back for a picnic ? Would they kick us out like they did the last time ? We wonder ? Our Junior play, Shiny Nose, was a great success under the splendid direction of Mrs. Walters. Our banquet followed out the theme of a circus. The Big-Top was in the form of a hexagon, made by multi-color paper gayly arranged. The 'Sophomores as waiters were dressed as clowns and gypsies. They all had a little act to perform in carrying out the theme. Some twelve dozen brightly colored balloons were suspended from the center of the tent to add to the attraction. The tables were also in the form of a hexagon with clown nut cups, plastic animal place cards, and cakes decorated as drums, adding a lot of beauty to the tables. This banquet was greatly appreciated by the Seniors of '49. We hope! We, as Juniors, had quite a time on our school picnic. We got off to an early start and went to Blue Lake to eat our dinner. While there we decided to go fishing. Boy! You should have seen the big ones we caught. Some weighed between ten and fifteen pounds, or somewhere around there. By the way, Butch, what happened to the fish anyway ? We soon grew weary of fishing so packed ourselves down to Playland Park. My, what a day! We went on the Ghost Train, Caterpillar, Roller Coaster, Bumper Cars and what have you. We also had pictures taken and ate some more. ll n W
