Class History In September of 1968 we entered Kindergarten with Mrs. Hess as our teacher. Of our original nineteen Mark Ditch, Vicki, Clint, John, Elizabeth, Barbara, Sherry, and Jeff White remain. This year we were taught to count, say our ABC's and print our names. We moved on to the first grade with Miss Steven's as our teacher. This year we added Darcey, Michelle, and Kirk to our class. Then it was on to Mrs. Fishel's second grade. It was here we were taught about the world of music by Mrs. Fishel's music ability. In Miss Hough's third grade we picked up Mark Smith and Phyliss. We've never forgot- ten the day Phyliss joined our class. Miss Hough asked if she knew anyone and a little voice uttered Kirk Whitney and everyone started laughing. Kirk found out that he had a few words in his vocabulary which he shouldn't have had for Miss Hough had to wash out his mouth with soap. Then it was on to Mrs. Heath's fourth grade where we picked up Gordon and Jeff Youngs. We had been warned it was going to be a rough year and it was just that. Mark Ditch even had to sit on Mrs. Heath's lap. After we became fifth graders Mr. Wyand kept us very quite by writing ''Blabber Mouths. Vicki became known as Molly Muscles for beating up on the boys. David and Kim joined us in Mr. Carolyn's sixth grade. We considered ourselves real cool this year and the bullies of the playground. As we entered seventh grade the teachers had been warned we were a troublesome group. Debbie joined our class this year and soon after became known as pigeon eggs. John demonstrated for us and Coach Wheeler how to light a bunson burner and managed to singe his hair and eye lashes. In eight grade we settled down and began to raise money for our senior trip. We went to Albany this year. As ninth graders Mr. Pooler became our class advisor. In tenth grade Mr. Mundt became our class advisor. We struggled through two paper drives, had our first dance, and began our Christmas paper sale. In eleventh grade Mr. Pooler again became our advisor and has remained. We sponsored dances and had two car washes. Would you believe no one showed up at one of them! We also sold HCS T-Shirts and shorts to raise money, and continued to sell Christmas paper. At last we've become seniors. We've survived through our fighting with each other to having money for about only half of the class to go on a trip. But with our candy sales, magazine sales, and Tom Watt we at least have made enough money to go to The Big Apple. We even managed to sell the rest of our Christmas paper! The class of 1981 would like to thank everyone who has helped us and given us our memories of the past thirteen years. 12
