SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One bright and sunshiny morning in September in the gay '29s several brilliant youngsters entered the first grade to begin their first knowledge in readin', 'ritin' and 'ritmetic. The very fortun- ate teacher was Miss Gordon. Flash Ogden then, as well as now, was known as the ladies' man. (Flash, remember Agnes and her pigtails?). Miss Bloomingcamp was honored by the presence of our unique class in the second and third grades. Her favorite form of punishment was standing kids in the corner. We wish the Holt twins were here to tell us about that! Next came the two years with Miss Jackson (the fourth and fifth grades). She made good use of the pictures on the walls as a second pair of eyes. The Senior girls are especially good in Track--as a result of being chased home so often by such as Bob Eaton. It was here where we beat all those relay races. We are sure the Juniors will remember these. Then came the sixth and the seventh grades with Miss Bussell as our teacher. It was in thse grades that we received long lectures for our non-studious inclination. V7e had a sprinkling of County Examinations in the seventh grade. Ah! At last were were in the eighth grade! We would soon be grown up. Miss Sandall taught us here. We passed the County Ex- aminations safely and at last we had the big thrill of being Fresh- men---but not green! Those who had the heart-throbbing sensation of being allowed on the second floor were: Russell Arbuck, Virginia Baker, Robert Bettger, Marley Biehn, Junior Brown, Norma Jean Chapin, Reta Cantrell, Junior Clark, Darlyn Condon, Eud Cook, Mildred Dreier, Bob Eaton, Dick Goodrich, Jean Hager, Richard Halsey, Norma Jean Harmon, Rex Harrison, Chester Hickmon, Elaine Janda, Genevieve Las- chanzky, Jean Laschanzky, Maxine Lewis, Wynona Lusk, Deraid Murrell, Norman Ogden, Verle Owens, Neal Palmer, Marjorie Perkins, Vivian Ritchey, Betty Sanders, Margaret Starks, Hal Stines, Wayne Stone, Norma Storm, Verna Storm, Margaret West, George Willey and Leland Williams. There were 38 of us altogether! The faculty were: W.S. Dodd, Mr. Wayne Nicholls, Coach Ethington, Miss Bogardus, Miss Kier and Miss Carter. Miss Cartew had the unfortunate opportunity to be our Class Sponson. Dick Goodrich was honored when we elected him to Class President. Our Class Meetings were held under rigid control by our President, Dick. Every girl had a chance at a date and Rex Henderson was the Romeo, but the gals were all disappointed when he dropped out of our class to go West. Other members to drop out were: Russell Arbuck who left his football future to work on the farm; and Darlyn Condon dropped out to move to Friend. The next year we became sophisticated Sophomores. Dick Goodrich went to McCool, Richard Halsey went to Geneva, Jean Laschanzky went to Chester, and Maxine Lewis went to Shelton. (Remember Maxine, Neal?) Miss Bratt, being a new teacher, was chosen as our Sponsor. We didn't do raubh this year as we had too many Geometry problems to keep us busy. (Mr. Nicholls was our teacher). Vivian Ritchey made an error in constructing a parallelogram and asked Mr. Nicholls, What s wrong with my figure? During this year, there were three who left F.H.S. Betty Sanders left to go to Wayne, Nebraska; Junior Brown to go to Denver, Colorado, and Norma Jean Chapin to Wellington, Colorado. (Continued)
