elau lfiitoty , In September, 1945 , thirty-five bright and happy children entered the first grade of the Grover town Institution of learning. Of these thirty-five, sixteen are still present. They are, Janet Awald, Richard Awald, Jerry Bierly, Helen Cook, Jerry Hancock, Dale Hayes, Barbara Hines, Myrna Holm, Rex Howard, Richard Hughes, Donn Kelver, Raymond Koontz, John Nelson, Eleanor Rif- fey, Ida Mae Singleton, and Delbert Whitaker. Our first grade teacher was Mrs. Hasley. During the second grade, Madylon Powell and Joyce Erickson came to join our class and Mrs. Awald was our teacher. In the third grade Mrs. Volkers was our teacher, and in the fourth Mrs. Peter- son. During our fifth grade, Conrad Kriskovsky and Walter Hall came to join our class, our fifth grade teacher was Mrs. Nelson. During this year we went to Brookfield Zoo and the Railroad Fair at Chicago. When we were in the sixth grade Ida Mae Singleton left to go to school at Ober, but it wasn't long before she was back with us. Gladys Taylor came to join our class while we were in the sixth grade. Mr. Plotkin was our sixth grade teacher. When we entered the seventh grade, everything was new and different, but it wasn't long until we became accustomed with this new method. While we were in the seventh grade Judy Millice joined our class and Gladys Taylor left to go to one of the neighboring schools. Mr. Peterson was our seventh and eighth grade sponsor. While in the eighth grade Joyce Erickson moved away and Gladys Taylor came back again to Good Ole' Grover . We also took a trip through Indiana with Mr. Merica as our sponsor. We graduated from elementary school in May, 1953. At the beginning of our freshman year everything again was different but not as much as be- fore. The first thing of our freshman year was the initiation by the seniors. This was an event that will be long remembered in the minds of all of us. Miss Corbitt was our freshman spon- sor. During our sophomore year Dale Owens came from San Pierre to be with our class. Also, during our sophomore year we served the Farm Bureau Supper and had two class parties. Mrs. Reid was our sophomore sponsor. Our junior year was the busiest -year of all. We were in charge of the candy store at noon, and the concessions at all the home games. We alto had our first play, Hillbilly Weddin'. Along with this we sold Christmas cards and magazines, and also picked up corn to help with our senior trip. In October, of our junior year, we took a three-day trip to Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Canada, and enjoyed it very much. The Junior-Senior Prom was held at Plymouth, Indiana, on May 4, 1956. Mrs. Nibbelink was our junior and senior sponsor and also directed both plays. Also during our junior year Joyce Erickson came back to Good Ole' Grover . We also served the Farm Bureau Supper again this year. During our twelfth and final year, we ordered everything for Commencement, gave our sen- ior play, Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost , put out the school paper and the annual. We also attended the Aliunni Banquet. Baccalaureate was held May 19, 1957, and Commencement May 24, 1957. We left on our twelve day Senior Trip bright and early on May 25, 1957.
