Class jHistorg As the year 1940 came around it saw a group of excited and anxious youngsters being brought to school. Miss Tran took over and taught us the three R’s. At the end of this year jacaueline Sandusky, Marilyn Dent, Bessie Kelly, Arnold Collins and Robert Lawson left us. We again had Miss Tran in our second grade. Our class gradually got smaller as Robert Richards and Norman Butler left us. Miss Adams took ‘us’ in the third and fourth grades. Here we were taught how to read the big clock on the wall. In the fourth grade we said ‘hello’ to Charles Willman, Violet Weitzel, Richard McCracken and Marjorie Meyer. We said'farewell' to Shirley Lower who moved to South Amherst. In the fifth grade we welcomed our new teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, who taught us long division and started us on history. This year we bid farewell to Betty Kazmierczak. Mrs. Rust had us in the sexth grade. She took the hard job of training us for high school. Ann Blackburn left us to go to St. Mary’s in Elyria. Seventh grade at last! We thought we were really big because we had different teachers, changed classes and had our own lockers. We said ‘hello’ to Nancy Fling. In the eighth grade we were still trying to adjust ourselves to the changes we found upstairs. At the end of this year we said ‘good-bye’ to James Knechtges who went to St. Thomas Academy in Minnesota and to Charles Willman who moved to Green Springs, 0. Freshmen! We had finally made it to high school. Now we could choose the subjects we wanted and select our class officers. We also started thinking up ideas to enlarge our class treasury. Violet Weitzel left us to attend Andrews School for Girls in Willoughby. In our Sopho- more year we found it to be kind of dull except for the selling of pen- cils and magazine subscriptions. The big thing this year we selected our class rings from Bastian Brothers. With our Junior year we found it the busiest of all. We sponsored two successful dances, sold pop and popcorn at the basketball games and helped publish the ‘Purple and Gold’. We also helped to put on the Junior-Senior play, ‘Desperate Ambrose’. The most important event was the Junior-Senior Prom, which we gave the Seniors. This was held on May 12th in the school auditorium and was decorated in a Hawaiian fashion. Music was furnished for dancing by Rocco Trombetti and a delicious banquet was served by the Junior mothers. We said ‘good-bye’ to Donna Jarkowski, Marcia Glover, Gerald Overy and congratulated Norma Brehm on her marriage to Edward Fildes. Now that we are Seniors we look back on the long twelve years and we find that they were very happy and gay years. The last and final year was another busy one. We had our individual pictures taken by Indicoot’s Studio in Elyria and we selected our announcements and name cards from Herff-Jones. We sponsored two dances and a play, ‘The Lucky Penny’ with the Juniors. We also kept helping to publish the ‘Purple and Gold’. The Editor-in-Chief of our publication was Carl Filipiak. The last three events and the most important were the Junior-Senior Prom which the Juniors gave us, Baccalaureate and Commencement. The Rev. Fred Stroebel delivered the Baccalaureate address, and Dr. Blair Stewart, Dean of Men at Oberlin College, gave the Commencement address. Our last day in school, Class Day, was spent saying eoodbye to our classmates and teachers. We now are going out into the world to make a place for ourselves and we will look back on those twelve years with happy memories.
