Glass History Dear Diary: SEPTEMBER l937 ..... This week we went to school for the first time. Already we have learned to sit still, hang up and put away things, and to obey. Miss Keene has told us that we will also learn to print and read this year .... OCTOBER l938 .... Entered the new building and like it fine. With the aid of Miss Gray we are brushing up on our printing and on our reading. She has also given us new readers. We have desks this year ..... NOVEMBER l939 . . . And across the hall to the second grade where we are under the careful guidance of Miss Glor- feld. Subtraction is new to us, but we are learning ..... DECEMBER l94O . . . Back to the old building again and with the help of Miss Manteufel we are learning how to write. This will be a great accomplishment. . .JANUARY l94l . . . School is getting harder. We have six-weeks tests now and also home assignments. Mrs. Steig Porter is our leader .... FEBRUARY l942 . . . . Miss Carstens met us in the fall and introduced us to long division and lowa History. Here we received our first experience of different classes taught by different teachers. Lyle Munz and Louise Scherner joined our class .... MARCH l943 . . . Back in the new building to stay. lt's been an interesting year. Judee Bagenstos entered our ranks and also received in- structions with us from Miss Kitchen, our leader . . . SEPTEMBER l944 and SEPTEMBER l945 . . . . Junior High at last. Here Miss Johnson and Miss Perry guided us through seventh grade and Miss Herzberg and Miss Zell through eighth grade. These were happy days for here we had our first taste of athletics, plays, operettas, and study halls-A preview of high school. LaVaughn Lill, Harold Arp, Orville Miller, Darlean Bremer, and Shirley Wiese joined us this year ..... JANUARY l947 .... This year was to be a great year. We were recipients of the traditional initiation along with Frank Sokolowski, Howard Dittmer, Eugene Gehrts, Robert Hintz, Wendell Kastner, John Rochau, Phyllis Bergmann, Duane Ruhser and Dean Earnest, who came from rural schools to further their knowledge in HHS. We had much to learn in the next four years, and here we found out you learn as much as you want and mostly on your own .... SEPTEMBER l948 . . . Back again to school. This year we felt somewhat superior as we looked at the green freshmen, but we remembered that we were freshmen once too ..... MAY i949 .... Juniors at last. To add to our income we worked hard selling magazines. While at our games, we peddled food of all kinds to earn enough to put on a swell prom with the theme LUXURY LINER, where we danced till the wee hours of the morn to the dreamy music of Bob Calame. So far this was the evening of evenings in our lives. We worked hard to put on our play, Shoot the Works early in the fall. After the first semester we picked our class rings and received them early in May . . . . SEPTEMBER l949 . . . . . This month we have registered for school for the last time. And we have with us a new member, Florence Bumann, making us a class of 27. Of those who registered in l937, only 8 remained with the class through these l3 years. They are William Bienlien, Joan Carnes, Maxine Hansohn, Donna Jensen, Jeanne Kolb, Delaine Lemke, James Sindt, and Betty Bremer. All of us are looking forward to the production of the MOO, skip day, and graduation. Up to and through this our lives have been well-planned and prepared for us. Soon we shall each be keeping our own diary, each one with his own adventures, joys and sorrows, successes and disappointments. We shall always remember our school days, our teachers, our friends, and our activities. We are going out ,into a world where some will lead and some will follow, but all will advance. PAGE SIXTEEN
