Class History In September, 1936, one hundred sixty-seven amateurs entered their Freshman year in the Ionia Junior High School, under the leadership of the Student Council president, Bob Mellinger. They enjoyed their glimpses of the wrecking of the old Senior High building and the constructing of the new one. On January third of their Sophomore year they moved into the new building with an air of gratitude. While in the tenth grade Robert Schwyn started his role in speech by winning the local declamatory contest. William Eddy, Blaine Redemsky, and Robert Schwyn, who were later on the All-Conference team along with William Heitman, started to use their athletic ability that year. William Whitesides was developing his musical talent, and as a senior he was one of two chosen to represent Ionia at the District Music clinic at St. Johns. As Juniors the class elected Donald Eddy president and chose for the Prom the World's Fair motif with the beautiful perisphere and trylon as centerpiece. The popular athlete, George Robinson, has been Senior president. The class published the Annual under the editorship of Elizabeth Dunnett. Harvey Lemmen received the honor of the valedictory, and Doris Rubach, the salutatory. In May, The Charm School was presented with Doris Rubach and Richard Smith as principals.
