.s14f'a? 7fA'4f0'?y In September 1936, six of us enrolled in the first grade and started the struggle on our way together through grmmm 'Sch0O1- In the 7th grade, 1942, we acquired two classmates from outside schools. We traveled on, and in l943, our eighth.year, we picked up three others who have stayed with.us ever since. Our Graduation Exercise from the 8th grade was cer- tainly a great affair Cto us, and we shall remember it always. As we wandered into High School, we acquired two others, and in the meantime lost three of our class- mates to Snyder. Before we could realize that our first year in High School was finished, the school bells rang to tell us that another year was over, and we had become Sophomores. That year only one joined our happy group but the following year, our Junior year, we gained another classmate so our class was not so small after all. Our Junior year we had to work and save for the Junior-Senior banquet that occurred in May. The banquet, which was formal, was a big success. The year of 1947 finds us Seniors, and we are proud to state that although there are only sixteen of us, we have six girls and three boys on the basketball team. To sum it up, we have had many years of fun together at dear old Ira, and we are planning to have minys more. , I . Class Reporter,
