Class History In the fall of 1948, twenty young monsters began their education. They included: John Anderson, Robert Beard, James Cox, Robert Hageman, Sam McAfee, Ronald Merwin. James Pangburn, James Rogers. Keith Spracklin, Earl Thomas, Walter Wilmont, Terry Hageman, Delores Bollinger, Rochelle Burns. Sharon Davenport, Linda Hinther, Evon Schwindt, Alice Wallace, Jackie Hageman. and Margaret Schlenker. Mrs. Patterson was our first grade teacher and got us off to a good start. We gained and lost classmates for the next eight years until we were left with only nine to graduate from grade school. They were Donna Schmidt, Ronald Merwin, Jackie Hageman. Monte Briggs, Evon Schwindt, Earl Thomas, Alice Wallace, Darlene Watson. Clayton Price, and Carol Hughes. Of these only four were together for the full eight years. They were Jackie Hageman, Earl Thomas, Evon Schwindt, and Ronald Merwin. The next fall, 1956. we, along with country freshmen, began our four years of high school. We were lost in the halls at first, but with initiation and our party soon settled down to our studies. We chose Mr. Matchie as our class sponsor and sold magazine subscriptions to make money for our prom and sneak. With the guidance of Mrs. Hageman we put on a skit from Shakespear's A Midsummer Night's Dream. As sophomores we chose Mrs. Rich as our class sponsor and sold Christmas cards to further our funds. We put on a Lion and Lamb dance in March of that year. Then as juniors we realized how fast the time could go. We chose Mrs. Hageman as our sponsor. We put on our first class play, a three-act Maxwell comedy, under the direction of Mrs. Rich. It was entitled Just Ducky. We chose our class rings that year which had a black magic stone. That spring we decorated for and put on the Junior-Senior Prom with the theme being April Showers. ” In our last and final year, we chose Mr. Perry as our class sponsor and went right to work for our Senior Play, If Mother Only Knew. another Maxwell family comedy. It also was under the direction of Mrs. Rich. The spring was full of events: basketball tournament, music festivals, class night, sneak, baccalaureate, and last but not least, commencement. Of the twenty starting the first grade only four went the twelve years to- gether. They were Evon Schwindt, Jackie Hageman. Earl Thomas, and Ronald Merwin. - Ronnie Merwin -

To the juniors: we will our place as dignified seniors. To the sophomores: we will our ability to stay out of trouble and get along with the teachers. To the Freshmen: we will our knowledge to help them graduate easier than we did. We as individuals will: I. Jessie Boughton. will my webb toes to Glenn Hafla. known as Duck, in hopes that they will help him learn to swim as easy as they did me. I.
