History of the Forty-niners In September, 1936, twenty-six eager, wide-eyed children entered the first grade. It didn't take our teacher, Miss Voss, long to get things under way and we were soon busy at nreadin', writin', and 'rithmetic.' And oh, how we banged in that rhythm band playing uTen Little Indiansu! Miss Elmblad greeted us with a cheery nGood morning and sit down and be quiet,u and had the class under control in no time. we had fun learning arithmetic through handling money and goods in our little post office and general store. That year we were all thrilled at being in the annual operetta. On we traveled to third grade to greet Miss Burson. That year our varied talents came to light and we made Christmas gifts for our parents. Several members of our class had leading roles in the operetta. Our fourth-grade teacher, Miss Burger, aroused our interest in animals and birds, and we went on many nature hikes. we started playing the lively game, nBoys Chase Girls.n Enough said! Miss Larson led us through fifth grade. Carl Ebert and Ann Holroyd were nHansel and Greteln in the operetta of the same name. we put our artistic ability in use making charcoal drawings and work- ing with clay. For the first time we were greeted by a man teacher, Mr. Peterson. Trials and tribulations were great during that year, but many happy times will be remembered, too. we closed our grade school days with a class picnic at the Forest Preserve. That proved to be a highly entertaining and interesting expedition. In our first year of junior high school we were awed by the vastness of the building and the antics of the idolized upper class- men. Miss Barton was our teacher and with her help we carried out many successful activities. As our second year of junior high school began, we felt more at ease and acted accordingly. we will remember Mrs. Baker as the kind teacher who gave so much help and advice. The hayride rage hit us when we were nfreshiesn and several class hayrides were held. They certainly were a lot ff fun. CContinued on Page 29, 25
