Class History On September 5, 1944 the doors of opportunity opened to the following people, Sandra Click, Dick Ellis, Jim Freeman, Norma Gauvreau, Judith Gibbons, Judy Kehoe, Janet Kinzie, Kenneth Maxwell, Dean Mohney, Richard Myers, Vee Radebaugh, Sandra Ward and Elizabeth Westfall. This was the starting of the 1956 graduating class of Edwardsburg High School. We were a proud and ambitious group setting out to put the world at our door-step. Proud because we were old enough to start to school, ambitious because it was our first chance to prove to the world that we were going to be a success. FIRST GRADE Imagine the feeling of anxiety that confronted Miss Mary Westfall our first grade teacher, when her beloved niece took it upon herself to hit Kenny Maxwell over the head with her lunch-box. This was a very eventful year having a rhythm band, parties, and chicken poxs. SECOND GRADE In second grade with Miss Hazel Westfall at the helm the class of 1956 started to sail over the rough and choppy sea of education. That was the year when we obtained another member to our crew, George Gibbs. lt also gave us our first mutiny. Jerry Hasty having a very rebellious spirit toward his mother when she failed to kiss him good-bye at school. Jerry stated and we quote, 1 want to kiss my mommy and I'm gonna with this he proceeded to stick his fist through the glass in the door. The blood on the floor from his drip- ping fist was the first strokes of the painters brush in our motto. THIRD GRADE Miss Mary Westfall again had the pleasure of advancing our education plus our new initiates into the class Pat Frodocy, Ted Jones, Deanna Swanson, and Dennis Otto. Dennis was the founder of the now popular saying Dennis the Menace for the antics that he introduced his first day of school. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES These were the sedate years with nothing much happening to the class except the blissful addition of Jean Ann Robinson our fourth year and Sally Bolton, Marlene Higley, Pat Radecki, and Gayla Pontious, the fifth year. Mrs. Padbury was content with our angelic actions. Poor'Mrs. Eggert in the fifth earned her wages largely by chasing Maynard Fetter around the room trying to find out who was cracking the bubble gum. Oh, yes, the wrath of Gods hit us this year with the installation of Mike Stephens. SIXTH GRADE Oh, the sixth grade. The year we got educated not only by our teachers Mrs. Van Duson and Mr. Harcourt but also by the fellow members of the class in our make-out sessions behind the garage. This also probably was our first touch of larceny with the theft of apples from the Home Ec. department. The sign of things to come was the acquiring of two girls and only one boy. In the form of Virginia Landis, Joyce Minix as the girls with Marshall Phillips bringing in enough ideas to our class to make up for the unbalanced col- lection of males and females on our enrollment. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES Now we are impressive! We're on the High School side of the building. In fact we're so impressed with ourselves that we didn't do anything in the seventh grade and little more in the eighth. While we made the deceased Metropolitan Opera turn over in their graves with our production of Streamlined Cinder- ella , Dick Akin and Nancy Lieser volunteered their services to our parade of progress . 20 rlmri'
