SENIOR HISTORY Our small, mighty class of ’54 started on its toilsome way to this gradua- tion success on a September day way back in the year 1941. Those remain- ing from that kindergarten class are in number seven and are named: Rav- dene Hanchett, Geraldine Allred, Sally Foote, Verna Lunt, Doris Cosper, Dena Parks, and Wayne McGrath. In the first grade we acquired five of our “prize” fellas: Ronald Jacob- son, Bill Nelson, Hank Brubaker, Lonnie Moore, and James Tuey. Also two swell gals—Carol Claridge and Wilma Daniel, the latter for only awhile. In the second grade we were very unlucky in the way of kids joining us for good—not one soul. In the third grade a cute kid, Bobby Knight, came into our happy midst. Also Alvin Baber spent this one year with us. In the fourth and fifth grades no additional permanent members came our way. In the sixth grade—Erwin Crotts, Willie Davis, Martin Tellez, Manuel Garcia, and Eugenia Herrera joined our evergrowing ranks. In the seventh grade when we were really feeling older; no one came to continue on. Well, we made it to the eighth grade, and here a “tuff” kid, Marvin Eldred, joined our large group. In fact, we were the largest class to gradu- ate from Duncan Elementary up to that time. If we remember correctly, there were 45 of us. Finally, we were “little big shots,” or another more frequently used name, Freshmen! That year our class, now just 37 in number, took to its heart again Alvin Baber, and for the first time Shirley Mosley. We weren’t treated like most frosh but “by hook or by crook” we couldn’t get away from that dreaded initiation. Donald Smallwood, one that will help our class be remembered forever, joined our select little group too. As sophomores we gained just one more swell guy, this being Joe Baber. This year we wielded the “big stick” at initiation and had a fit when the powers threatened to do away with it. During our junior year a well-mannered boy, Charles Ballew, lent a little dignity to the class. Our junior-senior prom and banquet was a huge success. This was largely due to Coach Frealy’s ingenuity and imagination which turned the gym into a South Seas paradise dreamily lighted by “Blue Moon.” Now, we are almighty seniors, and with John Hamilton added to our midst and Wilma Daniel rejoining us, we number 27. From here, who knows what lies in store, but we fervently hope that each will go on to a much higher, greater achievement in life!!!!! Sponsored by DUNCAN 5 10 Phone 64 Duncan, Arizona
