Class History lt was back in the year l942, when seven little tots bravely walked into the Homer Schoolhouse. Mrs. Max Hisey Knee Lola Kiplingerj greeted each one by name. Patricia Lenz, Shirley Smith, Jeanette Finley, Vilma Johnston, Shirley Wilson, Darwin Smith, and last but not least, Philip Howe came toddling in. He is the only one who has kept toddling along in this one particular school for twelve years. The second year was getting a little better. Some of the children were getting up enough nerve to make faces at the teacher. In the third grade we added Bob Slarb from Elyria, and Shirley Middour from Akron. We had a new teacher, Mrs. Charles Hockensmith Knee Myrtle Hastingsl who decided to try her luck at teaching the pupils. The fourth grade was the same except that Nancy Longsdorf from LeRoy was added to the class. The fifth grade was honored with a new teacher, Mrs. Delcamp. That year they were all very ambitious and they bought a radio for their room. ln the sixth grade we added Frances Maice and Wade Brooks from Cleveland. ln the seventh grade we added Jim Shadley, Jim Conwell, Geraldine Frank, Fredaline Frank, and Ethel Weaver all from Albion.
