W f e QM it Q 0MQk T -ad Way back in '37 a group of scared first graders started on a long Journey: Among the shining faces were Judith Pruitt, Peggy Arnold, Gene Deweese, Rachel Lisby, Vera Ross, Noble Tharp, and Kenneth Carpenter. This group, with the exception of Kenneth, who lived a few months in Quincy, continued through the twelve years of school in Fillmore school. Thomas McNeil, the wizard of Oz, joined the rowdy group in the fourth grade. That year Gene Deweese played Santa Claus, to the high school in a Christmas play. Gene made a fat, jolly Santa! In the fifth grade everyone seemed to be bad nkiddies.n Mr. Buis, the teacher, had his hands and corners full all the time. Wilma Wilson, and Ethel and Don Thompson joined the group and proved themselves ready to be in on all the mischief, they kept up with the rest of the group. The first class party was enjoyed by this group while they were in the sixth grade. Everyone felt grown-up, but they didn't act as if they were any- thing but brats! A treasure hunt climaxed the afternoon. The prize was a big bunch of oranges which the winning side enjoyed-much to the other side's regret. ' The next fall they took the dreaded, yet longed for, journey upstairs. After acting like chickens, who had lost their heads, for a couple of weeks, they learned the routine. Miss Meredith had the pleasure C?J of being the first to tame the class. As helpers the class chose: Thomas McNeil, president, Judith Pruitt, assis- tant, Vera Ross, secretary, Kenneth Carpenter, treasurer. On April 6 and 7, the home economics girls gave a tea for their mothers, senior girls, and women teachers. The boys drooled for a week! Then they advanced a tentative step into the eighth grade. Kathleen Kendall entered from Greencastle this year. Miss Thomas, who later became Mrs. Goodman, was the sponsor, and with her help were chosen: Ethel Thompson, president, Mike Alexander, assistant, Jud- ith Pruitt, secretary, Gene Deweese, treasurer, Thomas McNeil, reporter. Then the Wgreenn stage. There were thirty members of the class this year and from th m were chosen as officers: Marvin Miller, president, Gene Deweesq assistant, Wilma Arnold, secretary, Peggy Arnold, treasurer, and, last but not least, Anita Selsor, reporter. Mr. Smith had the honor C?J of taming th m during the year. ' On Sept mber 2l, the sophomores deciding the freshmen were du b, and wanting to get revenge, initiated them. That night they shook in their shoes and almost lost them! Later on, a weiner roast was really enjoyed. On the fateful day of November 27 they had their very first high school party. Most of the evening was spent in playing wink and by the members stuf- fing themselves on sandwiches and cokes. Noble Alexander, Wilma Arnold, Harry Custis, Madonna Goss, Pat Henderson, Roland Neier, and Florence Pell joined the ranks from Center, Anita Selsor, the redhead of the class, came from Spencer.
