SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On the first day of September, 1945, fourteen little cadets from space arrived at the steps of Goddard Grade School. As they anxiously waited, the door of their spaceship was opened by their squadron leader, Miss Decker, who welcomed them into the ship. Their names were Jim McCluer, Venita Bell, Larry I-Iigbee, James Craig, Peggy Higbee, .Terry Buller, Billy Adams, Gayle Bryant, Roger Patrick, Judy Shipley, Marjorie Presnal, Danny Carpenter, and Tony Perez, Nine months later we took off in our spaceship to be gone for a period of three months on an excursion of high adventLu'e. We landed on solid earth for a period of nine months. Our squadron leader was Miss Cook. While on Mars we picked up Mary Homecker from the Planet, Plainview, and Darlene Capshaw from space, and lost Gayle Bryant in outer space. Due to difficulties our spaceship was detained during the three months of June, July, and August. After fixing the difficulties we started onour third adventure. Our squadron leader was Mrs. Wunsch. This time we lost Bill Adams who moved to Plant Clearwater, During our fourth excersion our squadron leader again was Mrs. Wunsch. We lost James Craig and .Terry Buller, and gained four new cadets. They were: Floyd Slusser, Sandra Gile, Clyde McKinney, and Raymond Kerschen. After another three months we returned for our fifth journey to find a new squadron leader, Mrs. Horn, and three new cadets, Rosetta and Donna Barnes, and Rosalea Christopher. During our Sixth journey Mr, Stigge, was our new squadron leader and we gained two new cadets, David Dyke and Howard Malone, and lost Marie Coate to Planet Wichita. At last we reached our first commission to Junior High. Our squadron was increased by .T udy Sparkman, Willis and Leroy Jenkins, Sandra Gile and Arthur Becker. Finally we reached a great achievement the eight grade and our graduation year. Our squad increased this year to twenty-three, Our new cadets being Adronna Flaherty, Tommy Mitchell and Vera Waymier. At last our graduation was over and we began high school, not as cadets, but as Rocketeers. During this year we increased our squadron by the addition of Geraldine Buss, Kevin Dye, Jackie Pruitt, Mary Girrens, and Raymond Wimmer to our squad. We lost Vera waymier, Tommy Mitchell, Willis and Leroy Jenkins, and Ardonna Flaherty, Following an exciting Freshmanyear we ascendedastep higher. James Garner, Gary Brooks, and Myrlene Rumsey were added to our roll in Rocketeers classes, however, Darlene Capshaw, Geraldine Buss, Kevin Dye, Peggy Higbee, Jackie Pruitt, were lost from our ship. In 55 we entered our Junior year andgained a few Rocketeers. They were: Doris Scovel, Rodney McQdillan, Larry Peterson, Gary Osbome, and Byrl Rosenbaum No year would be com- plete without a few Rocketeers wandering off into space, so Howard Malone, Raymond Wimmer, Floyd Slusser, Myrlene Rurnsey, Gary Brooks, James Garner, and Rodney McQui1lan were lost in outer space. During our Junior year, we planned, worked very hard on, and gave our Junior-Senior prom. we chose as our theme, Hawaiian Paradise. We carried out this theme by transforming the gym- nasium into a tropical Hawaiian garden. Oliphant's Band provided music for the dance. A banquet preceeded the Prom in the cafeteria of the grade schooL Custers Last Stand that hilarous three-act play we gave our Junior year was loads of fun and it gave our dwindling fund a face-lifting, After a ninety day rest weentered for our last training year, feeling very superior. We were accused by everyone of having Senior-ites. Betty Doughty joined our Rocketeers. Seven of the Rocketeers finished twelve years together on the spaceship before being blasted into space for a journey unknown. They were Venita Bell, Tony Perez, Marjorie Presnal, Larry Higbee, Danny Carpenter, Judy Shipley, and Jim McCluer. Most of us believe that our Senior year was the most exciting, interesting and busy, During this year we undertook many events to try to earn money for our Senior trip. Among these were: cooked food sales, car wash and general clean up day, trash hauling, annual sales, and the Senior play. Speaking of plays, wepresented the ever-loving-farce-comedy, Love is Too Much Trouble! We had a wonderful time practicing for it. Other acdvities experienced by us were. Variety Show, County and District Music Festival and Senior assembly. Mrs. Dudley was our Senior class sponsor.
