On Sept. 5, 1938 four anxious youngsters with shiny noses, dressed in new suits and dresses entered the Elmwood Public School to start their education. They were Eunice Ebeler, John Parish, Beverly Schlichtemier, and Betty Soulek. During this year most of the time was spent in making a model church in which they had their Christmas service with their mothers attending. On Sept. 4, 1939 they again ventured back to their room with a wider knowledge and one new member, Barbara Baldwin. The highlight of this year was the building of a hospital. The third year finds the class losing one member, Barbara Baldwin, but gaining another, Benny Corr. A desert project furnished much enjoyment this term. During these first three years Elsie Kunz Linder was the teacher. The fourth year marked the close of the first stage of de- velopment, because they moved to the Intermediate room. This year they again lost one member, Benny, but Marion Wendt came to take his olace. Miss Jean Beckard was the teacher. Upon entering the fifth grade the class roll was reduced to four. These were Eunice Ebeler, John Parish, Beverly Schlichte- mier, and Marion Wendt. This year a new teacher, Miss Evelyn Schow, joined the group. She remained for the next year, also. The following year the number remained the same, but Beverly Schlichtemier was replaced by Dwight Bogenrief, who provided many minutes of entertainment for the next four years. Again the next year they found themselves moving slowly but surely, to the second floor, by being promoted to the Grammar Room. The same group came back for the seventh grade to be taught by a new teacher, Mrs. Doris Prohlich. This year was topped off by a Christmas Operetta, Suzannafs Christmas Auction , given by the entire grade school. Bernita Irons joined the class in the eighth grade. They found their eighth grade to be far more exciting and enjoyable than the other seven grades. This was true, for they experienced the great honor of receiving their diplomas, which gave them the privilege of entering any high school in the State of Nebraska. On Sept. 4, 1946 the life long dream of going up the stairs to the Elmwood High School became a reality. This group was now joined by eight new members which brought the total of the class to 13. These were: Lyle Ahrer.s, Dwight Bogenrief, James Hall, Walter Oehlerking, Junior, Marion Wendt, John Parish, Eunice Ebeler, Eernita Irons, Berdena KIrchhoff, Mary McLaughlin, Beth Mendenhall, Lila Oehlerking, and Margaret Vogt. James Hall was elected President for the freshmen year; Mrs. Roper was the sponsor. Of course, the most important event of this year was the Freshmen Initiation and the party held in the honor of the freshmen. For the tenth grade a new member, Fred Fross, joined the class; but they lost Dwight. Junior Oehlerking served as presi- dent and the sponsor was Miss Pierson. Elva Lashley was a member of the Junior Class for the first semester. Many interesting events happened during this, the third year in high school. First was the Junior Play, entitled Redheaded Royalty from Arkansas , which was given on October 22, 1948. Another incident, not soon to be forgotten, was the arrival of their class rings on October 25. The Junior-Senior
