Class Histoly As the story begins, twenty-five bewildered children started to kindergarten at Dow City Con- solidated School on August 21, l944'under the supervision of Miss Goddard. Those who started were -- Bill Anerson, Richard Ahart, Paul Blume, John Boham, Henry Brus, Charles Buff, Norma Butters, Roberta Butters, Adrienne Bergman, Robert Caldwell, Joan Susan Coburn, Mary Lou Dierenfeld, Connie England, Shirley Gorden, Barbara Lahr, Patrick Heffernan, Grave Lahr, Thomas Malone, Danial Paulson, Pearl Putnam, Dorothy Sharp, Marilyn Soper, Vernetta Winn, and Ella Jane Wingrove. In primary we liked the stories of Dick, Jane, Sally, Puff, Spot, 'and Tim. We learned how to color, and to cut out. During this year we also learned to associate and get along with others in society. Dorothy and Ella Jane were scolded for talking too much which we can all see because it is so natural for them. During our second year of school Miss Metcalf. fell head first in love with us when she tumbled from her chair in a sudden state of hysteria. Pearl looks back to her grade school days with fond memories of Henry Brus, but with disapproval for Miss Metcalf's cane. She seemed to think Pearl was spoiled. Ella Jane and Dorothy seemed to think cocoons were more interesting than school for they were late one morning. In second grade we experienced our first moments of vanity when we received our first pictures. The things which we accomplished during that year were: How to tell time, how to read better, and how to work arithmetic problems . Marilyn and Pearl will never forget the embarrassing situation they got themselves into ln the third grade. The boys broke the rules and regulations by rolling a ball down the aisles right under Miss Wiggins' nose. Richard Ahart will remember the yardstick hanging on the blackboard. Miss Wiggins applied it to the seat of his pants because he bounced Ronald Keairnes' head against the wall in the boys' rest room. In fourth grade we learned to fingerpaint and worked hard on our penmanship. In fifth grade the girls thought they would like to take up the art of figurine painting. For their model they used Shirley Gordon. Since they weren't experts some of the silver paint just happened to get on them, too. We were all excited because something new had been added to the school--band. The sixth graders were allowed to start playing in band. During our year in seventh grade we were allowed to play on the junior high teams. Burdette will remember the big crush he had on Jeanette Knierim and the beautiful bracelet he gave her. When we started eighth grade we were all excited about the idea of studying civics. Pearl re- ceived a great big thrill when Bill Miller kissed her. At last we received our eighth grade diplomas and were ready to start to high school. Our grade school teachers were: Miss Agnes, Miss Metcalf, Mrs. Hatfield, Miss Wiggins, Mrs. Ballantine, Miss Hanigan, Miss Turnland, Miss Hoffman, Mrs. Minard, and Mrs. Ploth. Those who entered high school were: Gene Beam, Russell Houston, Terry Miller, Dick Siemer, Richard Ahart, Grace Lahr, Julius Zimmerman, Dorothy Sharp, Beverly Gilbreath, Charles Buff, Marilyn Soper, Shirley Gorden, Richard Brown, Marlene Wadrich, Edna Jensen, Ella Jane Wingrove, Pearl Putnam, Burdette Hard, Mary Lou Dierenfeld, Larry Garrett, Donald Thompson, Dee Buck, and Carole ljryden. We all had a wonderful time on our initiation day, and we will never forget how silly and ridiculous we looked. All the home making girls will always remember writing 500 sentences for Mr. Bechen because they were supposed to have been talking. We will also remember the chair that sat at the back of Study Hall. Pearl and Mary Lou will remember the big collision on the softball field. During our second year of high school Pear and Sammy will always remember the two chairs in the front row on the east side of the geometry class. ' They had' great fun in sliding them back and forth. Mary Lou and Ella Jane will remember the time Mr. Miller and Mr. Petrilla bought them ice cream cones and took them home because they missed their bus because they were correcting papers. We will always remember serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet and at the Alumni Banquet. Richard Ahart received minor cuts and bruises while racing to a Safe Drivers Club Meeting. During our Junior year we will all remember our Junior Class Play, Finders Creepers . We were all excited when our class rings arrived. We had great fun planning our Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme of which was Candyland . We will' never forget some of the things we used to put to- gether in the chemistry lab, especially the rotten egg smell. About the only thing the boys learned was how to be coffee making experts. Terry, Burdette, Richard B. , and Richard Ahart were taking their afternoon nap and over slept, and they almost missed their afternoon classes. A
