The Class History Nearly thirteen years ago, on September 5, 1939, a rather large group of earnest little urchins trooped up the steps of the schoolhouse for their first half day of education. There were nineteen of us, and I wonder now how our teacher, Miss Dorothy Miller, ever ,stood that and the following days. In spite of our parents' best efforts, we were slightly untamed. We nineteen were: Marvel Cruikshank, Naomi Dall, Norma Enge, Mary J can McKi.m, Donna Lea Sharp, Marlene Simonson, Gladys Stall, Jean Marie Westergaard, Shirley Young, Bobbie Bell, Reuben Evanson, Richard Henderson, Jimmy Horsman, Donald Justice, Raymond Majorowicz, James Pirie, Bennie Rittgers, Gene Sease and John Young. The only changes at the end of that year were that Shirley Young moved and Gene Sease failed. Our teacher for second grade was Miss Clarvne Stone.' What a lot of changest. Four new pupils, a new room and a new teacher. The new pupils were Barbara Bush, Eugene Cirks, Warren Henderson and Richard Forrey. Gladys Stall and Donald Justice moved. Miss Stone was our third grade' teacher too. Roger Heiter and Gerald Kerns became mem- bers of our class, and Reuben Evanson, Jimmy Horsman, Bennie Rittgers, and Naomi Dall left us. One had been retained and the others moved. Miss Grace Hamerly was our new teacher in the room with those HUGE desks. That year, fourth grade, turned out to be a sort of process of elimination and at the end of the year, we found ourselves without Bobbie Bell, Eugene Cirks, Richard and Warren Henderson, Raymond Majorowicz, and Donna Lea Sharp. Must have been a tough year! To top that off, Richard Fbrrey and Marvel Cruikshank moved away. However that year we also had two new students, John Forry and Lorraine Wilson. Lorraine went back to country school for fifth grade, though. Our fifth grade teacher was Miss Mary Barrett. Jennie' Lou Prichard, Alice McKim, Dorothy Sroufe, Sterling Meurer, Denny Strong, Russell Budd, Lyle Ferguson, Anne and Frank Vavricka joined our class, but Anne and Frank moved before the year was over. We lost Roger Heiter and Mary Jean McKim when school was over. Sixth grade---and we were really smart now---parading proudly upstairs. Mrs. Schlacter was our teacher. Lorraine Wilson came to Plover again. Lyman Davis was in our grade for a short while, then moved. Jennie Lou Prichard also moved away. In seventh grade, we produced the play, Tom Sawyer, a fact, of which we are still proud. Mrs. Schlacter, who was again our teacher, directed the play. Lewis Meyers and Marilyn Nielsen were our new pupils. Lyle Ferguson moved, and Norma Enge also moved from Plover after school was out. In the fall of 1945, we went to the eighth grade---that last row in the assembly. We never ventured out of our desks, but we all thought how nice it would be to act like the high school kids. Well, we got there, and the next fall, when those new eighth graders came in, we could just see them timidly look around, and though we laughed about them, we couldn't help but remember how we felt. In our Freshman year, Vivian Sorgdrager and Chloe Saylor joined the class. Lewis Meyers quit school, Alice McKim moved to Havelock, and Lorraine Wilson went to Rolfe the next year. These last years have passed by fairly quickly with few changes. As Sophomores we gained Ilene Seaman and Alice McKim. Vivian Sorgdrager moved. Colleen Morse joined our class when we were Juniors. Russell Budd joined the Air Corps in the fall of 1949. So here we are, the surviving eleven, about to graduate. We've had a swell time and done some hard work, and now that we're nearly through, we begin to appreciate our school, our teachers and their efforts. 9 .
