During these nine years, ten of us have stayed together: Betty Brinkman, Daryle Cobb, Rosa Hill, Martha Kalb, Eddie Reiter, Norman Schiefer, Lillian Schimpf, Gerald Steiger, Buster Tschanen, and Homer Ulmer. Do you remember the night when the first grade had lots of fun playing in the rhythm band? It was really more clatter than rhythm, but our inexperienced ears didn't mind. Later on we gave an operetta, The Song of Hiawatha. During this presentation, and frequently since that time, we have discovered that we made very good Indians. When we reached the seventh grade, we began to feel that we were really growning up, for now we could come upstairs for our classes. Now that we are in our ninth year, and have suffered through the annual initiation given by the seniors, we hope that we have really become a part of Holmes-Liberty High School. Z5

Eighteen members of our present class of twenty -five have gone through the first ten years of school life at Holmes-Liberty. ln thinking back over these years, we recall many pleasant memories. We all remember how Miss Jessie Shoal, our first grade teacher, found it necessary to walk out on us. That was because we talked so much. We really worried about this when it came time to go home! The second grade found us learning poems under the guidance of Miss Doris Green. Our favorite for the year was The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat which we recited for the Comrnunity Club. Miss Belva Clary ushered us safely through the third grade and long division. This year we gave a Mother Goose play for an assembly program. The fourth grade seemed quite different to us. since we had four different teachers. We found that we really had to settle down and study. and that there were no more rest priods. To many. the fifth grade will be remembered for the fun in participating in the operetta, White Gypsy. lt really brought out the dramatic abilities in us. if they can be termed such at this early age! The sixth grade again found us using our dramatic and musical talents in assernbly plays, and also in a cantata. Our teachers for these grades were Mrs. Daryl Gatchell. Mrs. O. C. Maskey, Mrs. Robert Cook, and Mr. J. W. Ulmer. Finally we reached the strange world of Junior High Life. It seemed Quite wonderful. to elect our own class officers and to plan our own after-school parties. Our eighth grade history class gave an assembly which provided much fun while dressing up and performing in Colonial costumes. Reaching the proud station of Freshmen was truly an achievement for us. We were subjected to quite a cruel initiation, having to carry around catalogues all day. but the all-high school party alter this torture helped sooth our temporarily injured spirits. Many of our class became members of the basketball, softball, and baseball teams. We were well re- presented in the choir and glee clubs, along with the F.H.A.. G.A.A., F.F.A.. and other high school organizations. We now have come five -sixths of our way through school, and find ourselves happy sophomores. Our big event of this year was-a semi-formal dance, The Sophomore Hop. The theme for this Hop was Winter Wonderland. ln February, we presented an assembly for the school. lt consisted of a play and several novelty numbers. Our patient advisor who has seen us through all the trials of our seventh. eighth. ninth. and tenth grades, is Miss Edith Curtis. It has been a lung climb to the ranks of sophomores. but we have enjoyed every step d the way. Z4

The eighth grade of Holmes-Liberty has, at this time of writing, twenty three members. Out of the twenty three that started to school in 1942, eight members are in the grade now, Our teacher in the first grade was Mrs. Cook, and our second and third grade teachers were Miss Green and Miss Holland. ' Mrs. Maskey was our teacher in the fourth grade. Here we took part in an operetta titled Hiawatha along with the fifth and sixth grade pupils. While in the fifth grade, with Mrs. Cook as our teacher, we prepared and pre- sented The Three Ring Circus. The highlight of our sixth year was presenting an operetta titled Kathleen, Mrs, Zwllner was our homeroom teacher this year. The seventh grade was new and it offered much fun because we were in junior high school. We enjoyed the parties we had. As eighth graders we are well on our way to becoming typical H-L students. We already have five members in the band, and others are studying musical in- struments in the hope oi becoming band members next year. Mr. I-left has been our advisor in both our seventh and eighth grade years. 26
