Most ol the students assembled lrom the one-room brick school houses spread throughout the two townships. Because al this it was a group ol strangers gathered that day to begin a school lile wnien was to end only alter nine years ol eeneeiing, Through the lourth, lilth and sixth grades, these strangers be- came acquainted with one another. These years passed by with a slow meandering way which seemed endless, One thing which was always looked lorward to was the summer vacation. Of course, when the hrst day oi the vacation came there was much rejoicing. We can look back on these years and remember Miss Good, Miss Erickner, and Miss Doran. The next year we were upstairs and naturally our heads were in the clouds, but we lattnd the going more dillicult.

With the money made Irom the play we hired an orchestra lrom Findlay and treated the Seniors to o Prom, which was held at the Fostoria Womens Club. Now we were ready to begin sur linal year ol schooling. ln our hearts we have a deep leeling ol regret lor those who have moved to other schools or have otherwise been dropped lrom our class.

However, we all wish we could assemble lor another nine years. Lett to right: Frazer Leuck, vice president: Bernard Bouillon, presidentp Irene Brickner, secretary: Donna lean Warns, treasurer.
