SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September, 1937, the school bells were ringing, and the air was full of the shouts of small children who were skipping gaily on their way to school. Among the ones who were to enroll in the first grade at Imhler was Margaret Ann Hunt, who has brown eyes and was slightly bashful. Margaret is the only one of the group who has remained here to graduate from high school. In the second grade Margaret was joined by another girl who is still with us. This was Virginia Barton, a regular little athlete. She later became known as “Ginnie” to most of us. The next year the two girls were joined by a short, lively boy with a pleasant smile. This was Shannon McDaniel. Shannon proved to be quite a basketball player in later years. Other boys and girls came to join this group, but they have gone leaving only these three who were here in grade school. The first year in high school these were joined by two boys from Dry Creek. One was Ralph Bolin, tall, blonde, and always blushing, even at his own remarks. The other one from Dry Creek was a good looking chap with dark curly hair and a cute grin. This addition to our class was Philip Street. That same year, Nora Stephens, a short, smiling girl, came to us from Idaho. Nora took top scholastic honors and is the class valedictorian. The initiation proved to be fun not only for the sophomores but for the freshmen also, except for Ralph who didn’t survive the “festered cat eyes” so well. In the third year of high school, a cute blonde girl from Nebraska joined our class. She has been a great addition to the scenery around Imbler high. This of course is Darken McLaughlin. She took a great part in the one-act play, “Herbie and the Mumps”, which tied with the sophomore play for first in the contest. Now we are leaving Imbler high school to enroll in a greater school called “life”. Here’s hoping we enjoy this new school as much as we have enjoyed the one of the past.
