This was the year our school was consolidated. We gained several new students for the seventh grade, among them Susie, Harry, Ed, and Karen. We are really growing up now. We are on the high school side of the building and we don't get recesses! This year we had our first initiation--into Jr. High Youth Council and was it rough! This was the first year we had study halls, also, and we really did it up right. We read every single National Geographic magazine in the library. The boys got a large charge out of putting the lids on the boxes. We didn't do much studying, if any at all. The biggest scare this year was the day Duane Carpenter brought a garter snake to school in a paper sack. We ended the year by walking out to Shanahan's for a class picnic. The warm weather gave Nadine a sudden urge to take an early dip, clothes and all. We came back and had a square dance at the school. ln the eighth gade lots more new things were happening. The girls finally got to wear lipstick, and for the first time the boys had a football team. At last romance hit us! Being old hands in Youth Council by now, we got revenge by initiating the seventh grade. Junicrs, do you remember the dead mice, Vick's jello, and here comes the dead dog? The rest of the year went by quite uneventfully except for our trip to Chicago. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum, and the Aquarium. At last we arrived in high school. We gained Carl Stover and Rose Marie Wolf. Our initiation was mild this year, for the first time the freshmen didn't have to wear funny clothes to school. We showed off our musical talent Q??j by helping put on the operetta Wi1d Rose. Our talents weren't in vain as a few months later we were invited to sing on the radio at Benton Harbor. This year also, the girls were asked to serve at the Prom, the Varsity Club had a hayride and ended cooning watermelons at Barry Wade's, the candidates hom om' class for the Sno Ball were Ruth Ellen and jerry. At the end of the year the class went on a picnic to Tower Hill. We went swimming and froze our little tootsies. The year we were Sophomores we had a good football team. It was undefeated. And this year we had our last touch of initiation when we initiated the Freshmen. It was so gruesome that Sandy Ward fainted, but they really enjoyed the cucumber and hot tobasco powder sandwiches. At a P.T. A. program the girls modelled the clothes they made in Home Ec and the boys had a display of things made in shop. My, weren't we creative? This year Ann Padbury and Jackie Krecioch were winners in the County and District Speech contests. They were awarded dictionaries and pins. Om' candidates for the Sno Ball this year were Nadine Runkle and Bruce Bonebrlght. Our third year of high school was quite exciting. We wonder why we didn't learn much this year in English. It couldn't have been because our teacher was always trying to rewrite the dictionary. Poor Miss Lardner, we sure gave her a rough time. With all our zoo noises, flying bananas, and bean shooters, she was completely exhausted in just one period. Every day she told us we were lassitudying, languoring, surfeiting, satiating, and exasperating, and then deciphered which ones should go to Mr. Long's office. Since we were the most popular class in high school, our candidates, Susie and Neale, were chosen as King and Queen of the Sno Ball. In the spring of the year we started to work on our Junior play. No one can forget the good times we had at play practices, but we must have practiced sometimes because our play, Come Rain or Shine was a big success We gave the mighty Seniors the Prom this year at the Hotel Elkhart. We spent all day making and hanging 1500 silver stars. It was worth our efforts because everyone had a gand time. Ellen was the attendant and her escort was Jerry. When commencement came , we got to lead the Seniors down the aisle thinking of the fact that next year would be our turn to be led down the aisle. At last we are at the top of the ladder, although to many of us it came all too quickly. We elected class officers and aganized the annual staff. Our play this year was The Kid Sister. Everything went off fine except when a bat got in the showers and a few cues were missed until it was caught. One day the Senior boys found a cat and brought it to school, and sat it on the desk at the back of the assembly lt behaved well as rigor mortis had set in. lt only stayed a few minutes. Our candidates this year for the Sno Ball were Jerri Ann and Larry. We felt big hearted this year and let the Junia- Class win. As we complete om- history we are looking forward to the finish of our Annual, the Prom, Graduation, and the Senior Trip. Ruth Ellen Morse Susie Kant: jo Ann Beckwith Jerry Toth Ed Griffm 16
