if 'Ar if SGNIIDIQS -nr CLASS HISTORY The Class of '43 was the largest class to enter the Hayes County High School.They had an enrollment of thirty-eight, made up of nine- teen girls and nineteen boys. This class was the only class in the history of the school to have two sets of twins graduate in the same class. The twins were Wanda and Wilma Mintling and Leola and Leona Wittwer. Both sets were born and raised on Hayes County farms and through High School they took the same subjects.They were the same age at graduation. Another peculiarity of this class was its repetition of names. They had two names repeated in five groups as the following: Maxine Nitsch and Maxine CampbellgBob Moon and Bob Toroloffg Vernon Kotschwar and Ver- non Christnerg Marilyn Orman and Marilyn Havensg and Richard Fowler and Richard Fuller. When Freshmen they were initiated and of course were laughed at by the rest of the students. Mr. Mason was their sponsor. Leona Wittwer and Bob Moon represented their class in the District Declam- atory Contest in readings. As Sophomores they were right up and coming. Boys and girls alike were in the extra curricular activities of the school. Fay Gangwish was in the Sextette,Curt1s Leffler in the Quartette and both were in the Mixed Octette. Mr. Kerns sponsored them. Juniors, yesl There had been some changes made. This class was now an industrious one.Three of the girls,Arlene Hajek,Dor1s Schnei- der and Wilma Mintling were in the Sextette. Doris sang a solo. The boys were strong in Athletics. A nice 'Dutchn Banquet was put on by them for the Seniors. Their class play 'Mumbo Jumbou was a play long to be remembered. Fay Gangwish was elected from the school to have her name printed on the Scholarship Plaque from the Balfour Company. These Juniors had ideas of their own and just to prove it they made changes in the system and ordered and received their rings while still Juniors. Fourteen of the class took the Normal Training Course and the rest, the business course. Mrs. Green supervised these jolly Juniors. Their class was prominent in Dramatics and four of them, Nadyne Roe, Vyonna Christner, Reed Loomis and Harold Counce were in the one-act play which rated superior at the District Declamatory Contest. Oh, yes, they were a dignified busy bunch of Seniors. Although some of their classmates ha quit schoo , moved away or as Glendola Scott did,get married,they hadn't as large a class as when they were Freshmen, but they could still boast the second largest class to graduate from the Hayes County High thus far. The boys of this class won the Class Basketball Tournament two of the four years and the girls won three of the four years, Vernon Christner, Curtis Leffler, and Jerry Housman all made the Hall conforencen football team.During the four years twenty-four of the class were active in music groups. The class of '45 will be gone, but they will be remembered by their outstanding characteristics and they in turn will remember their beloved Hayes County High School and be grateful for all the opportunities it had given them. 12
