. . . . and we record the past school years in our . . ln the fall of l937, twelve pioneers packed their belongings and boarded the prairie schooner, Class of '49. Miss Keene met us at the gate of the corral and guided us down the first road, kindergarten. Of the twelve who made camp that first year, only seven have completed the long trek of thirteen years together. They are Billy Endrulat, Dorothy Friedrichsen, Lyle Leinbaugh, Celia McGuire, Norton Obrecht, Dean Voll- mar, and Ardyce Will. The next year we crossed the big divide between the old building and the new building. Here in Camp First Grade we were met by Scout Sadie Gray, who helped secure us with some printing and reading provisions. From there we forded the hall and entered second grade country. Miss Glorfeld, our wagon leader, showed us how to add and subtract. We then entered rougher country, third grade. Multiplying, divid- ing, and real writing forced us to move more cautiously and slowly. There Jack Breyfogle joined our small band. Our able guide, Miss Manteufel, showed us the right path, and we headed for fourth grade. We paused to rest in fourth grade and to look at our neighbors, through the eyes of a geography book. Miss Steig helped us to collect small particles of gold dust, called knowledge, which we had sought. A new experience, called lowa history, awaited us in the fifth grade pass. The addition of David Geske increased our strength, as Miss Edwards led us on to the sixth grade badlands. Picking up where Miss Edwards left off, Supply Sergeant Kitchen equipped us with the necessary provisions to carry us to Fort Junior High. Mary McArthur joined our wagon there in sixth grade and continued on with us. At the gates of Fort Jr. High, Miss Perry and Miss Johnson escort- ed us in and started us on our way to the high school crossroads. While in seventh grade we helped put on the play America on Parade. ln the eighth grade, Lyle Schubert and Eloyis Bochmann joined us in getting a taste of what lay in the trip ahead of us. As we came to the High School Crossroads, we met another cov- ered wagon with the same name, the Class of '49. Our wagons joined to- gether and Alice Rex, Byrdella Buell, Dean Ruser, Delores Kistenmacher, Lenore Ewoldt, Beverly Daugaard, Walter Johnson, Beverly Wiese, Earl Wienert, Alvin Hammer, Betty Jensen, Elaine Leonard, Vonita Bumann, Elva Frahm, Lauretta Dittmer, Glenn Vohs, and Robert Bergmann joined our party as we headed into the new country. During these last three years Dean Lund and Jim Vohs joined our company, bringing our total strength to 31. We have had fun together in our four high school years and our sacks containing gold dust knowledge, have grown. But now the road branches into many directions. Our prairie schooner, the Class of '49 is be- ginning to squeak and the wheels are wearing down, but its passengers have grown stronger. lt looks as if we'll have to abandon our wagon and each choose his own road and transportation into the country where we shall be the leaders and followers of others. lo
