Miss Densmore enjoyed us so much that she stayed with us through the first grade. We moved into the new school building this. year. Barbara Preston and William Belden left but Dick Perkins, Harry Gregg, Bonnie Rohm, Norine Ash, Richard Campbell and Betty Moaes came to take their place. The next year Miss Sugel had the job of trying to teach us something. We had a new novelty this year a pair of twins joined us; Unis and Mary Unks, but they must not have liked our company because they left before the yaar was over. ELeaaor Rowlson joined us this year. In the fourth grade we had Mrs. Snow as teacher. During this jiear Norine Ash and Franz Bresson left us and Ellen Wade, Stanley McMichael, and Betty and Herbert Lucas joined our class. We now have a memborship of 23 students. The next year we must have really been bad because it took two teachers to handle us, Miss Brown and Mrs. Howell. This year Donna Bradley, Juanita Goble, Lyle Inraan, James Morrell, Betty Norris, Roy Osborne, Jerry Upham, Charles Burton and James Webber joined us. ■Before the year was over some of them left, Donna Bradley, James Morrell, Betty Norris and Roy Osborne and since Dick Perkins and Jack Tibbitts had stayed behind with Mrs. Snow our class was much sroaller. In the sixth grade Mrs. Babcock took charge of us. We added five new members this year, Jack Money, Katherine Cline, Andy Dove, Ted Hewitt and Bob Wilson. We now felt very grown up because we were ready to enter Junior High. This year Bonnie Rohm left us but Guyetta Dowling and Frances Bristol came to take her place. Our teacher this year was Mrs. LaPine. The eighth gradw was just another school year. Stanley Hilts and Junell Smath joined us but left before the year was o.ver. Harry Gregg and James Webber and Jack Money also left us. Our class now consists of 18 members. 45 we entered the ninth grade. Ted Hewitt grew tired of us and left but many more came to take his place. Norine Ash found that she could not get along without us so back she came and along with her Dorothy Briggs, Iris Campbell, Marilyn Fluke, Pauline Meade, Don Shirah, Don Smith and Neva Whhley. Our advisor for the lOth grade vas Mr. Norlin and he soon had our class moving amoothly. Betty Allen, Raymond Jon ©3 and Beverly Strelling joined us and ELeanor Rovlson and Don Shirah left. We nov felt very grovm up as ve entered the 11th grade vith Mr. Svanson and Mrs Rambov as leaders.

Ten years ago this vas a very exciting day for 24 young men and women, at least ve liked to be called men and vomen. On this night ten years ago ve all started out on our road of life. We decided that ve vould like to get togeether and see vhat this road held in store for all of us, ve vill nov try to see all of onr old school mates and get acquainted again. As ve are riding through the big tovn of Galesburg ve notice hov it as changed and hov much it has grovn. We vere speeding along at 40 niles per vhen ve heard a siren, ve decided that ve had better p m over to the curb and see vhat vas vrong. The police officer came over to our car and told us the speed limit vas 35 miles per hour in this zone. We told him ve vere in a hurry and then all of a sudden ve took a good look at the officer and vere ve surprised to see Roger Kirk We just arrived at school vhen another car, if that is vhat you could call it drove up and this time ve vere elmost overvhelmed for climbing out of this so called car vas 6111 Benjamin. We knev that Bill had gone to college so ve asked him vhat he vas doing and the ansver vas that he vas the garbarge collector of Galesburg and vincinty Just inside the door ve sav a very distinguised looking man and vas very surprised to see Larry Carson, vho is nov a very vell knovn author and poet.

While receiving all this Information from Larry and talking to everyone ve finally reached the gym door. The gym vas decorated very beautifully and ve asked vho the artistic person vas, ve vere told that it vas Mrs« Lyle Inman the former Barbera Burgess. They said Barbara vas doing very good as an artist and interior decorater. Asking vhat Lyle did ve found out that he vas Barb ' s manager. Hearing a great commotion in the corner and going to investigate vhat it vas ve sav that it vas just Mellie Wayne and Bud Beebe still beating each other up, oh brother love must be grand 1J Wesley came over to our group and vas telling of his business, it seems he his the President of a rival seed company of Burgess ' s. Iris vas standing by Wesley and she had the blggest rock on her finger ve asked her vho it vas from, ve vere informed it vas from Wesley.
