History of The Class of 1950 In the year 1938 a group of 38 boys and girls, excited at the prospects of the many adventures to come, entered the first grade. We were guided through our first year by Mrs. Maude Griffith. When we entered the se- cond grade with an enrollment of 35, Mrs. Jewel Fullerton was there to help us. In the third and fourth grades the same 35 pupils were under the di- rection of Miss Guinivere Lanning. When we entered the fifth grade to be instructed by Mr. Floyd Hurley there were only 34 students and the number decreased to 2.8 in the following year when Mr. Hurley guided us through our bth and last year of grade school. Mrs. Pauline Mittong helped .SU of us to become accustomed to a very confusing system of bells and classes dur- ing our seventh year and first year of Junior High. Under Mrs. Marguerite Johnsonis careful guidance we completed our work in the eighth grade. The class of 1950 entered the Freshman Class in the year 1946, with an enrollment of 27.
