(£laes Hiatorg We entered the first grade in 1938. Miss Tran was our teacher, she occupied our time with reading, writing, and arithmetic. Along with many others were Dot Adams, Mlml Maple, John Guyeska, Dick Edwards, Chuck Knechtges, Tess Cordy, and Donn Barber. Our second, third and fourth grades were filled with our studies. Donna Glover joined our class in the fifth grade, and Joan Fischer en- tered our class in the sixth grade. The same year, Betty Lou Carter withdrew for a couple of months, and again joined us. Our seventh grade song was Running Wild ! We were surprised at our freedom. We had our own lockers and had to take care of our own books. The Girls’ trio, consisting of Donna Glover, Joan Fischer,and Genevieve Maple, and the boy’s quartette, consisting of John Guyeska, Dick Edwards, Phil Kobb, and Dave Parker, were organized during the seventh grade year. David Houser withdrew from the class at the end of the year. Our eighth grade home-room teacher was Miss Cosentino. She was also our class advisor. Charles Blackburn who left at the end of the year for another school. Our freshman year was quite interesting. We were in study halls and in some classes with the older students. Betty Lowe joined us at this time, coming from Pattengill School in Detroit. Betty Lou Carter, Eugene Kubuski, and Raymond Easterwood left us at the end of the year. In our Sophomore year, we had a sample of salesmanship. We sold pencils, pennant pins, and magazines. We built up our class treasury quite a bit. We had a bake sale, too. We also put on a one-act play, Sis '0 The ozarks for an assembly. We had fun working on this play, we put the play on again for the Mothers’ Study Club guest night. We picked out our class rings for the following year. We said good-bye to Bob Myers, who left us to go to school in Fremont, also to Donn Barber, who left for Howe Military School and to Harold Tablett. We entered our junior year, feeling very proud of ourselves for having progressed this far. This year was filled with many activities. We gave two dances, both of wnich were successful, and we sold refresh- ments at the home football and basketball games. Then our big event - the Junior and Senior prom. Our theme was Mardi Gras . We spent a long week decorating for this event, but it wasn’t in vain, for every- one enjoyed the occasion. Theron Snyder’s orchestra provided the1music for dancing. Tess Cordy left us at the end of the year. As we entered our senior year, we welcomed Donn Earber back to our class. Several of our members are planning on entering college and we knew that for some of us, our formal education was coming to an end. We knew that we would have to look ahead and plan our future - whatever it might be. This year, too, was an eventful one. We gave two orch- estra dances with Hank Cook's Orchestra providing the music. We also sponsored a Fish Fry, which none of us will ever forget. Genevieve Maple left us before the close of the year as Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Maple announced the marriage of their daughter, Mlml to Mr. Leonard Leinlnger, class of ’47, now attending Ashland College. Oir best wishes are ex- tended to both.
