JUNIORS

Page 28 text:

In the first week of September, the year 1948, we enlisted in our first year of High School. We elected Mrs. John Simpson for our sponsor and she started us out in our first big year. New students joining the Freshmen class were: Clyde Jones, Earl Mitchell and Jean Kerns but losing Marthann Howland and Charlotte Ellgen. After a few weeks, our classmate Kay Uhland was stricken with polio, and due to her physical disability, she had to complete her education at Houston. Texas. At the end of the first semester Jean Kerns left our class. We gradually got used to going from one room to another and changing teachers every period. Mr. John Simpson was our sponsor for this year, he helped us sell popcorn at the ballgames to put money in our class treasury. We were sorry to lose Dwayne Fox in death, a great pal to all of us. New students joining our class were: Shirley Smith, Sharyn Abrams, Marie Evans, Wanda Laird, Richard Baxter, Arthur Hollandsworth and Marvin Richardson. We started our Junior year in 1951 with much enthusiasm. This year we ordered our shiny new class rings; and presented the comedy play We Shook The Family Tree, which filled the gym with rollicking laughter. The most outstanding social event of the year was the annual Junior and Senior Prom, using the theme the Mardi Gras, while dancing to the music of Marguerite Brown's Orchestra from Garden City, Kansas; light refreshments were served. New classmates for this year were: Larry Brendlinger, Tommy Stoker and James Ward. Shirley Smith, Marie Evans and Judy Hastings left our class for other schools. Later James Ward left. Mr. Wright was our sponsor this year. In 1952 we started our Senior year, the last of our high school days and perhaps, the best years of our lives. We have twenty-four graduates, after loosing one, Larry Brendlinger, and gaining three, Eugene Cussins, Barbara (Kerst) Kammarcal, and Florence (Weiser) Merica. We elected Mr. R. D. Farthing, sponsor, and again Mr. William Wright, co-sponsor. Our Senior year will long be remembered as our most thrilling year of school. As for what we have accomplished a true picture of the actual amount we have stored in our brains will be shown in later years by what is done by each individual Senior. Our Teachers deserve much credit in preparing us for the trail of life. In years to come we will look back on the memories of E. H. S. and actually appreciate what the members of the school have done for us. This closes the history of our grade and high school careers. So long--we’U be seeing you out where it takes individual initiative and where In Ourselves our Future Lies, our class motto.
