Class History September 1, 1941, begcn a new era or unrorgerrawe wwe- .e....e. for the teachers in the Fernald Public School. On that day fourteen cngels with aug halos slippinglentered the doors to the future af our still young lives. We were greeted by Miss De Vries, who was to guide us through our kinder- garten year. This group consisted af: Herman Corbin, James Crosser, Howard Myers, Wyvanna Davis, Gladys Fincham, Mariorie Fish, Carolyn Gilreath, Wanda lenn Mooers, Darlyne Myer, Donald Oxley, Esther Peterson, l-ois Ann Picht, Mary l.au Wise, and laretta Woods. later in the yearwe were ioined by Gerald Hitchings and Gerald Klonglan. During the year Mariorie Fish, Vlkmda Lenn Nooers, and Donald Oxley dropped out. The first day of our first grade year found twelve of last year's class back. Loretta Woods had decided she liked the grade behind better so she stayed back to continue an with them. Trudy Christensen came in November. Trudy didn't stay with us very long, two days to be exact. Dur- ing this year Howard Myers and Ether Peterson left. .brry Springer also entered our class this year from the class just ahead of us. He also left us at the beginning of the second semester. Nine loyal students came back for their second grade to be greeted by Miss Picht. Herman Corbin stayed back to fain the class behind us. At the beginning of this year we were ioined by: Albert Dem Barton, Louise Gull, Marilyn Black, Kelly Haws, md Neoma Hagen, md at the end of this year we found ourselves minus: Albert Barton, Wyvanna Davis, Carolyn Gilreath, md Louise Gull, who had left to gain their schooling elsewhere. Again under Miss Picht's guiding hand we started our third year in school to find that Marilyn Griffith had ioined us from the class ahead. Gerald Hitchings, Neoma Hagen, md James Crosser left for greener pastures during the year. Kelly Haws also left because he had his eye an a girl in a lower grade md wanted to stay behind, lee Dadismm 'md lbsalee Corbin entered our class in March. We ended up that year with Marilyn Black, Gladys Fincham, Gerald Klonglan, Darlyne Nyers, Lois Ann Picht, Nlary Lou Wise, fvhrilyn Griffith, Lee Dadismm, md Rasalee Qarbin. This year the class was looking forward to traveling upstairs to their fourth grade but since they took kindergarten out, we had fourth grade in the same room as we were to have left, md thus had Miss Picht as teacher for the third year in a row. Gary Sutherlmd and Shirley Breezley moved into the community and thus added two pupils to our class. ln 1946 we found our legs nimble enough to climb the stairs md spend the fifth grade year mder the tutorage of Mrs. Foote. The class remained the some except that Bob Severson ioined us. Gary Sutherlmd also left this year to find his education elsewhere. Sixth grade found the class increased with the addition of Bonnie Gerlach, Marilyn McNatton, Nblvin Mundell, Charles See, Mary lee Sodders, and Dem Sodders. Bob Seversan decided that he liked Nevada better so he moved to attend school there. Ms. Vtbndell was our teacher. 16
