Class History The class of ’50 started its long climb one fall day in the year 1937. It is rather inter¬ esting to note that of all those who started that year, only the following members will graduate. They are Francis Bell, Russell Howes, Norman Crittenden, Nick Carson, Jim Freer, Stanley Haist and Carolyn Wagner. Dick Wheaton and Lula Jane Holston joined us in the second grade, after an uneventful first grade encounter. Alice Wearmouth left us this year to take part in the social life in Otsego. Then in September of 1940, we started our third year. Miss Olive Kugel was our teacher. We started the year with Alex Banghart, Francis Bell, Tom Brennan, La France Bresson, Phyllis Bunce, Nick Carson, Don Chiverton, Ray Councell, Norman Crittenden, Ronald Fitzpatrick, Jim Freer, Stanley Haist, Frances Hendrick, Lula Jane Holston, Roger Horn, Russell Howes, Loretta Lowe, Shirley Rawlson, Dick Wheaton and David Neal. Before the year ended we added Sylvia Knight to our roll call. Tom Hamilton, George Hoover and Frances Hendrick left at the end of the year. In the fourth grade Jack Tibbitts and Dick Perkins seemed to like Mrs. Snow pretty well and stayed over another year just to be in our class. We also added Giles Burton, David Frank, Lenore Isham, Allen Palmer and Richard Walsh. But Richard evidently didn ' t like our company so he left in the third week of school. Phyllis Bunce must have had the same idea be¬ cause she left a short time later. Carolyn Lance and Susan Smathers joined us, but left a few weeks later. David Neal decided he would rather attend a school in Kalamazoo so he left us that year also. We ended our fourth year with a total of twenty-four students. During the fifth and sixth grades there were a few changes. Tom Brennan and Lula Jane Holston left us and Carolyn Wagner rejoined the class; she left previously at the beginning of the third grade. Joan Keown also joined us. Stanley McMickle fell madly in love with Mrs. Livingston and thusly joined our class. Lenore Isham left us at the end of the sixth grade. Mrs. Sauer was our teacher for that grade. The seventh grade was really a big year. We had jumped from the grades into Junior High School. We found it a little difficult to get used to the new surroundings, but at the end of the year, most of the teachers realized that we weren ' t as bad as we looked. Mrs. Livingston couldn ' t stand to be left behind so she moved up with us and became our advisor for that year. Charles and Max Harrison left during the year and Barbara Melvin took their place. Finding ourselves seated in the eighth grade, we decided that we should be better, but we had quite a hard time convincing Miss Willets that we were reformed characters. Leaving Jack Tibbitts and Stanley McMickle behind to suffer, we added eight new members to our class. They were Sidney and Gerry Geddings, Louise Book, Guy Rundio, Reggy Kissenger, Gus Klahn and Harlan Yager. Mrs. Morrison was our class advisor. After a hard struggle of eight long years we finally made it into high school. This year most of the boys went out for football. We can still hear ' em talking about how tough the coach was during practice. Some of the kids found that they couldn ' t take the stiff schedule this year and left in the middle of the first term. They were Jim Haney, Roger Horn, Giles Burton, Joan Keown, Harlan Yager and Shirley Rawlson. Sylvia Knight also left to go to Portage. Rodger Offet and Charles Short came to take their places. Our tenth year brought few changes, although we did gain a few new members. Sylvia de¬ cided that s le couldn ' t get along without us, and with her came Charlie O ' Brien, Clair Belland, James Gillispie, Ronna Crocker and Rose Marie Pierce. Rose Marie left in November along with Merle Allen, who had also joined us that year. We rounded out the year with twenty-one students.
