At last in the fourth grade our class was altogether again, and the lucky teacher was Miss Gesaman. This year our class increased in size by having Frances Beedy and Albert DuPriest added to our roll. We were sorry that death robbed us of Bob Barton this year. We started the fifth grade off with 1 bang under the direction of Mrs. Wike. We learned many interesting things about birds during the year. Larry Johnson, a member of our class, was taken from us during the year by death. We went on to the sixth grade with wonderful dreams of soon being in Junior High School. Our teacher this year was Miss BitnesCMrs. Fleckl. During this year Peggy Melling came back to Township and Delight and Dewight Rader decided to stay with us after having changed from Horace Mann to Township several times. We were now entering Junior High and did we ever think the seventh graders were something. This year we elected class officers and had Mrs. titley for a sponsor. S Wie gained one new member in our class who went by the name of Rhea an s. By the time we were eighth gradersyve were becoming more accustomed to Junior High and again had Mrs. Stitley for a sponsor. We received two new classmates, Maynard Fisher and Shirla Tucker dur- ing the year. As Freshmen we entered High School, thrill! thrill! Our Sponsor for this year was Mrs. Glenn. Many of the girls joined an organization called G.A.A. This year we gained one new member named Ruth Ann Sharp. During the Sophomore year we tried to get back down to earth and study. ye had Mr. Yake for a sponsor and enjoyed the parties we were allowed to ave. During this year we lost Frances Beedy, Ruth Sharp and gained Bob Gamble. As we entered school our Junior year we felt rather cocky and import- ant. We had Mrs. Helen Kreiger for a sponsor. This year we gave a reception for the Seniors that we thought was simply grand .The Nautical Theme was used through out the decorations. Out of the Junior class we lost Bob Gamble, Peggy Melling, Larry Smith, and Shirley Teush. We also greeted Ronnie Hall into the class. Well this is the final step, now we are Seniors, with Helen Kreiger as our sponsor again, we have expected and have accomplished many things. There are now only 32 of us, for we lost Marilee Coles and Henry Johnson. We dreamed of graduation day, and looked forward to the Senior t1'ip. So as of now, the Seniors say goodbye to their fellow school mates. Barbara Alford Shirley Callahan Rita Barnes
