The class of 19i;6 began on September 7 1953 at the Congregational Church. There were 13 members who enrolled in Kindergarten. They were, Patricia Beck, Richard Bently, Brian Conor, Clare Freer, Al¬ bert Knetsch, Janet Maxson, Alberta Oudshoorn, Keith Shedd, Barbara Schreiber, Donald Schrackangast, Bev¬ erly Tibbitts, Violet Wayne and Louise Yoemon. Our Teacher was Miss Flag. This being our first year in school we certainly learned a lot of things, includ¬ ing the killing of mice. Before the year was half over it had become a popular sport. The next year we remained at the church with Miss Densmore as our leader and adding a few new members; Bill Rogers, Jim Carlton, Ivan Richards, Vera Lowe, Robert Rhodes, and Madeline Bresson. In 1935 we w ®re promoted to the school building, adding with us Franklin BeLeew, and Winona Borne. Miss Jenkins acted as leader. This year Louise Yoe- man, Patricia Beck, Richard Bently and Alberta Oud¬ shoorn all moved away. It was nothing unusual for someone to go after their lunch and find half of it gone. Mice get hungry too you know, so they just seemed to help themselves. In •56 we entered the third garde room adding Bet¬ ty Bush, Romona Grier, Marvin Mertz and Helen Kibby, to the class roll, wiiss Anderson served as our tea¬ cher this year. Regardless of how much we hated leaving her, we had to be promoted to Miss Snow’s room, the fourth garde. V ' e had all heard rumors ab¬ out her but when we got there we found she wasn ' t so bad, for we got along very nicely with her. This year we lost Helen Kibby, Dick Brockway and Arlene Coffing came to take her place. This was the year B. Schreiber fell in love with D. Brockway. She thought at the time he was a pretty nifty guy because he had a huge watch that ran---when he did. In ' 37 we were all promoted to the fifth garde having Miss Brown at the head of us. Our enrollment for this year included, Dick Brockway, Margaret Bren¬ nan, Madeline Bresson, Betty Bush, Brian Conor, Jim Carlton, Jack Baker, Bob Christler, Barbara Cutler, Arlene Coffing, Clare Freer, Romona Grier, Maxine Haist, Martha Hendricks, Albert Knetsch, Shirley Kim¬ ball, Janet Maxson, Alberta Oudshoorn, Vera Lowe, Barbara Schreiber, Keith Shedd, Violet Smith, Bill Rogers, Robert Rhodes, Beverly Tibbitts, Violet Wayne,
