CLASS HISTORY I ln September of l940 our class was first organized in the grade school building. The following seniors are among those who enrolled that year. They are: Teresa Ancona, Donna Ausum, Coleman Bennett, Jim Bodary, Ardis Boyd, Marilyn Francis, Virginia Grier, Gary Hall, Tom McClure, Don Priest, Wanda Whisler and Julie Wright. During the next few years we were taught our three R's, and in the fall of l946 we moved into the high school building and started the sixth grade. We were honored with two new pupils that year, Larry Brown and Jack Kreger. We entered the seventh grade in i947 and were now in Junior High School. We elected Joe Gricol as our class president. ln l948 we entered the eighth grade, and elected as our president Jack Kreger. We had a class party that year at which games were played, refreshments served and dancing enjoyed. We started our treasury by paying a small amount of dues. By the end of the year there was the sum of 527.50 in our treasury. Two pupils, Sid Bryant and Bill Butchart left us to attend other schools. Then came T949 and our Freshman year. We meet many new faces and those Seniors who entered that year were: Tom Blue, Betty Coats, Janice Cole, Hal Goodhue, Mary Hardin, lla Konarske, John Miller, Jerry Mittlestat, Tom Schweizer, Ken Weddle, King Weimer, Chuck Wenzel, and Ray Wrobel. We held a get-acquainted party which was successful and enioyed by all. Jack Kreger was elected president to guide us through the year. Many of us ioined the sport teams, glee club, and band. We participated in the athletic carnival and band concert by supplying our muscular and musical talent. Our biology class took a trip to the Toledo Zoo on a chartered bus, accompanied by Mr. Mittlestat. The money in our treasury was steadily increasing with profits from concessions, dances, etc. We were dubbed Sophomores in 1950. We elected Ken Weddle our president. Joan and Charles Sutton and Donna Wood left us to attend other schools. Mr. Vyn took us to Greenfield Village as a proiect of the history class. We were honored with a new pupil, Judy Bass, early in the spring. Our girls were requested to serve at the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held in the Methodist Church basement. ln our iunior, l95l, Jerry Mittlestatl was elected president of our class. After n'uch considera- tion we ordered our class rings from the Terryberry Company and received them in November. We picked our class play to be The Cannibal Queenn, directed by Mr. Ator. It was given on May l and 2. We got together with the seniors and put on the Junior-Senior Prom, called 'Moonlight Sonata . Everyone who came enioyed themselves very much. We gave the seniors a very nice banquet on June 2 and escorted them during the Baccalaureate and Commencement on June Sth and l2th. We received two new students that year: Evelyn Burdick and Jack Shaw. Then in i952 came our biggest and busiest year. We were now seniors! Although we gained two new additions to the class: Sid Dean and Delores Korsnerp we lost Pat Ford, Lois Charles, Bev Diekman, Dinah Katz, and Harold Wilkie. We elected Gary Hall as president of the class. Our class pictures were taken by Powell Studios in September and we received them in November. Our class play entitled Arsenic and Old Lace , and directed by Mr. Ator, was given on November 25 and 26. It was a huge success. ln December Mr. Van Whye took us to Detroit to visit the courts. To boost the money in our treasury we sold Christmas wreaths, had paper drives, bake sales, sold Guardian subscriptions, and many other numerous things. There are many events we are looking forward to, and these are: Junior-Senior Prom, Fad Day, Teach Day, Skip Day, our Senior Trip to Washington D. C., the last week in May, the Junior- Senior Banquet, and from there we well look hopefully yet regretfully to graduation. By Ardis Boyd Historian
