Class History y ln the fall of 193 8, thirty-two scared but very game youngsters trudged up the steps to Miss Agnes' room. These were Marilyn Smith, LaVonna Swenehart, Anna Mae Price, Paul Leslie, Minnie Malone, Ralph Tech, Delmar Weise, Estheir Omstead, LaVonna Clothier, Betty Andersen, Bill Baber, Clara Mae Mathys, LaVerne Poitevin, Maurice Rule, Beverly Smith, Robert Tillet, Jean Weber, Roberta Jean Deiber, Marty Furne, Dwayne Tech, Isabel Hunt, Connie Ahart, Vincent Ahart, Betty Jleane Stuin, Daryl Keairnes, Eddie Houston, Junior Croxell, Glen Beam, Perry Buff,l Viola Jean Coburn, Clara Mae Beam, and Glen Higgins. Here we started our school life and it wasn't long until everyone had caught on to what was expected of them and some things not expected. l'm sure we will all remember kindergarten or trxe birthday cakes we drew on the board, and the singing of Old Shoes, New Shoesx' whenever anyone had a new pair of shoes. It was fun, too, playing the games Miss Algnes taught us and learning to read, color, and print. We were all glad to see the end of the first year of school but before the summer ended we were eagerly awaiting the new school year. How proud we were to have desks now instead of tables! ln first grade, we became even 'more accustomed to school life and by the time we reached second grade we were fast learning all tricks of the trade. l'm sure Connie and LaVonna will always remember the second grade and Miss Metcalf's paddle, Peppy. In third grade, we were taught the habits of Indians and Pilgrims. Here we also learned to control our desire to whisper. Remember, Bill, when you had lto go to the cloakroom ? Good thing the janitor came along when he did. Fourth grade will always beremembered because this was the year we started using ink. How proud we were that now we were trusted with ink. Our mothers didn't appreciate it very much, though, when we came home ink from head to foot. ln fifth grade, we were acquainted with The Little Colonel series., Also, this was the year we started our dramatic careers. The girls made up and presented a play to our class as well as other visitors. We thought we were doing something wonderful then. t ln sixth grade, Miss Turnlund did her best to make us good writers, but l'm sure all high school teachers have wondered where our writing talents were by the time we got to high school. We were very proud to have Betty Andersen represent our class in the County Spelling Bee when we were in sixth and seventh grades. Marilyn Smith represented our class when we were eighth graders. , Our grade school days came to an end when we received our eighth rade diplo- mas in the spring of '47. All our grade school teachers were rather sad o see us go into high school because we always supplied them with numerous fruity rolls. Our teachers through the grades were Miss Agnes, Miss McBride, Miss Metcalf, Miss Wiggins, Miss Rounds, Miss Mendenhall, Miss Turnlund, Miss I-lanhigan, Miss Johnson, and Mrs. Boham. J 13
