..-..-or--.W-. any img. pr W.-..-.W- CLASS HISTORY By DOROTHY HOWELL In the fall of 1917 forty youngsters entered the first grade. Dur- ing the rest of the grades several students dropped out and when we were ready to enter High School there were just twenty-two of us. With fall, caime fa new thrill in our young lives. A thrill none of us will probably ever forget. We were Freshmen, Now we could look down at the youngsters in the grades. Fresh- men, yes, I suppose that we were just as fresh a group as entered G. H. S., but we soon realized that the other classes did not appreci- ate our freshness so we settled down to regular school routine. Dor- othy Howell was President that year, Wm. Hamilton Vice President, George Sheek Secretary, and Genevie Shadley treasurer. It was this same year that Mr. Hoover left us. But never shall his kindness and thoughtfulness be forgotten by the students. Everyone was glad more or less when our Sophomore year came. for now the thought of being called a Freshman was over. This year we had several new teachers. Mr. Wiley became Superintendent, Mr. Earl L. Wood, Principal. Our teachers were Mr. Palmer. Mr. Bartlett. Miss Oldaker, Miss Hougham, Miss Little and Mrs. Bailey. Miss Wishard did not come back that year. Junior Jordan became our class president this year. William Rhem, Vice President, Lewis Sheek, Secretary. and Stella Mae Bish- op, Treasurer. With class parties and other entertainments we were about to leave our Sophomore year. Finally we were Juniors, now we were just waiting for the day to move into the new school building. The day came at last. That was the most exciting of our Junior ye-ar. Elizabeth Myers was elected President of our class this year. Virginia Cox. Vice President, Dor- othy Howell. Secretary, and Junior Jordan Treasurer. Miss Oldaker left us this year, and Mrs. Eudaly took her place but left in six weeks. however Mr. Stephenson stepped in as Geome- try teacher. and has been with us ever since. In the fall we became Seniors but not very dignified, and the class of '29 was about to end their great wlar. We cannot show enough appreciation to the ones who have helped us through High School, but we certainly appreciate the wonderful things the teachers have .done for us. Miss Oldaker came back to us this vear, because the the Seniors felt like they couldn't gradmate without her. Junior Jordan became president in the Senior vear. Russell Lasi- ter, Vice President and Marjorie Threlkeld Secretary and Treasurer. Two of our former classmates. Wm. Rhem and George Sheek are graduating from other schools this year. One of our best parties we ever had wuas a Hallowe'en party this year at the home of Lewis Sheek. where most of them were. Virginia Cox and Lewis were held responsible for the good tiimes that night. We are just about to reach our goal which we have strived to to reach and with the many good times our class has had it is hard to leave old G. H. S. but the time always comes when you must leave, so here's a word to Each and everyone of them comrades all are mine- Don't you wish you might graduate with the class of '29?
