History of the Class ol 1940 Here we are f 74 young people, Godwins largest graduating class to date, about to be turned loose on the world. What lies ahead we know not: as for the past, let us review it, In the year 1934, 70 eager 7th graders boarded an imaginary train which was to take them on an exciting sixfyear trip. Elmo Moore was the class president, Miss Bright, the advisor. At that stage, life seemed to hold nothing more serious than fun and boisterousness. Poor Mr. Kutsche!

We lost two good teachers, Miss Grace Miller and Mr. Wilbur Myers. For the several students we lost, we gained others.

That year we found ourselves under the supervision of a new teacher, Miss Chynoweth. She brought with her a china cow, Bessie, who was duly adopted as a class mascot.

We made our own newspaper The Qriolen and published one edition. Vvfe still are proud of those little papers. A cleanfup campaign was sponsored, and a pep meeting was given by us for an assembly. That year ended with a picnic at johnson Park. In September, 1936, we became high school freshmen. When our train pulled out on the third lap of its journey, the 78 students aboard chose Ray Darrow to be president: Phyllis Van Portfleet, vicefpresident1 Barbara Christiansen, secretary: .lane Van Eizenga, treasurer.
