Class History In the fall of 1939, thirty-five very anxious youngsters tramped up the stairs to the kindergarten room. These were: Emmett Ahart, Kathryn Ahart, Bruce Alexander, Sharlene Bauer, Elvin Elwood, Marceline Greene, Faye Hanson, Joan Heffernan, Billy Hesse, Hanse Malone, Norma Jean Mathys, Lois Mayne, Alice McCoid, Alice McDonald, Dean Nicholsen, Adrian O'Meara, Joan O'Meara, Edward Smith, Maxine Staller, Merlin Staller, Mary Ann Stepanek, Billie Thomas, Floy Baughman, Robert Wolfe, Marilyn Weber, Donna Brink, Alma Mathias, Clemet Birney, Bonnie Price, Geraldine Jilg, Melvin Malone, Richard Chambers, Fern Cue, Delores Dryden. ln this room, we started learning about how grown up we were supposed to act and be. We will well remember our daily rests on our pads on the floor. We all felt that we had ac- complished something when we mastered reading from our Dick and Jane books. We also had fun coloring and printing. l'm sure we all had our turn to stand in the corner with our hands over our faces when we got into mischief. We were all very proud on visiting day, for we had the largest turnout in the school that year. We will never forget the games of London Bridge and May l? that we played at recess time- ln the first grade, we really felt grown up because of the big desks. We always made fancy covers for our treasured report cards. We got to use painted scissors and learned to work with numbers. Remember when Floy fell off the bleachers and broke her arm? She was quite a frightened little girl! By the time we reached the second grade, school was old stuff to us. We found we were quite talented in making boiled eggs look like people. Some of us got a little hungry-- wonder where those eggs went! ln the third grade, we learned how to tell time. Some high school teacher may regret this--seems there are several clock-watchers in our class. We had lots of fun parading as Pilgrims and Indians at Thanksgiving time. Fourth grade will always be remembered because that year we gave a health play for our parents and friends. We enjoyed using our scratch pens and ink even if our mothers didn't. We tackled the multiplication tables full force, but they still were very hard. How's that big toe you stubbed on our picnic in the timber, Donna Mae ? ln the fifth grade, we varnished little whatnot shelves for our mothers. We began learning the states and their capitals. Some of us haven't finished yet. We were very proud of our pint-sized cheerleaders in the sixth grade--as were the pint-sized gals themselves. They even rated a picture in the school annual. ln this grade, we also tackled those awful decimals. All in the class took part in the grades' operetta given during the Christmas seas on of that year. ln seventh grade, Lois really strained herself selling magazines. She was the school's top salesman. We all had lots of fun talking to Beverly Bergman son the little black box on the window sill. We certainly had to act old because we had desks in high school and als'o spelling with the high school students. lncidentally, we almost always had better grades than those oldsters themselves. I wonder if Miss Johns on appreciated our fruit throw in the eighth grade? We all re- ceived low deportment grades that year. I wonder why ? Fern represented the county at the state spelling contest in Des Moines. l'm certain that all the teachers missed us after we graduated fr om eighth grade in the spring of '4 8. We were a perfect class of angels! Our teachers through the grades were: Miss Agnes, Miss McBride, Miss Lipke, Miss Wiggins, Mrs. Mousel, Mrs. Ballantine, Mrs. Turnlund, Mrs. Bloham, Miss Armentrout, and Miss Johnson. Twenty-two Freshmen started to high school i.n '4 8. They were: Bonnie Ahart, Emmett Ahart, Floy Baughman, Donna Brink, Donna Brown, Perry Buff, Fern Cue, James Ettleman, Donna Hamblen, Urban Katzer, Lorraine Kolln, Paul Leslie, Eugene Malone, Lois Mayne, Alice McDonald, Mary Ellen Putnam, Mary Ann Stepanek, Billie Thomas, Paulene Thomsen, James Trierweiler, Eugene Christiansen, and Ortensia Herrera.
