glass We the class of '45 began our school career in 1933 with 37 students and Miss Schwartz as our director, The year quickly passed and we found ourselves at desks in Miss Loveless's room. Prizes were given every week in the second grade to the best writers and spellers. The writing con- tests proved to be exciting but the real thrill didn't come until Miss Bleke taught us to write with pen and ink in the third grade. As we started our elementary grades the en' rollment increased to 56 which was too large a class for one room so we were divided into two rooms, Miss McComb and Miss Bear as our teach' ers. Miss Bear's class spent the first six weeks of school in the old gym until the new part of the school was completed. Mrs. Potter and Mr. Gump again divided our class in the fifth grade, but nevertheless we still enjoyed our jello parties and weekly programs. Mrs. Gtto taught part of us in the sixth grade while some of us had Mr. Gump again for the second year. It was in the summer of 1939 that Harold Sordelet, a member of our class lost his life in the St. Joe River. Sixtyfone of us entered junior high school feel' ing mighty important with Mr. Sible as our class sponsor, and Gay Warner as president. The class parties proved to be exciting. With Mrs. Malcolm as our eighth grade sponsor and Morris Bracht as our president we had a happy year, and the climax came when we realized we were leaving the grades at the Shrine Auditorium on graduation day. The romances started rolling as we enter high school. The enrollment again increased to seventy in our freshman year. Miss Hershey and Mr. Bosler were our sponsors and Jack Stone, Gay' lord Warner, Roedean Veazey and Violet Bu' chanan were elected class officers. The barn fwfffoty dance and chili supper at Seidel's seemed to be an outstanding event. In '42 as we entered school as silly sophomores we found Mr, Smith and Miss Whitacre as our sponsors and Roland Leininger, Gaylord Warner and Betty Russell our class officers. Lorraine Price was again elected queen of the class. Class parties were held at the Center School House and at Tonkels. We find the enrollment decreasing as we reach the 11th grade with 49 members left in the class. Mr. Fryback and Mrs. Parrish were elected spon- sors while Morris Bracht, Gene Hadley, Roland Leininger and Betty Russell were elected class officers. A wiener roast at Isaac Walton's was most amusing but the freshman party also seemed to hold some excitement for us juniors. To raise the capital in our treasurer we opened the canf teen in the old school house, sold ice cream bars, candy, 'popcorn and potato chips during games and presented the fourfact play, Seventeen . Memories of the Jr. and Sr. Banquet which was held at the school will always rank high. As 40 of us enter school for the 12th year we find some of our classmates in other parts of the country serving Uncle Sam's forces and others are working and some are even married. Mr. Henning was elected class sponsor and Morris Bracht, Lorraine Price, Dolores Soule, and Bar' bara Huber were elected class officers. A chili supper followed by a theater party was one of the many activities. A visit to court, picture day, the ordering of name cards, caps and gowns, senior day, etc. All seemed to hold excitement. We, the class of '45 are now completing our school term and taking with us the pride of graduf ating from Huntertown High School. gfau of '45
