aaa oe ee oe pee a ———recarere ee CLASS OF ’40 Helen Slaubaugh attended the summer session at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls and taught a rural school near Wayland the past year. She seems to enjoy being a “school marm.” Raymond Moore is employed on a dairy farm. His address is Seven Springs Farm, Muscatine, Iowa. I wonder if he has found anyone who will listen to his stories which began—‘“Did I ever tell you about the time I was in the army’—and then go on endlessly. Alberta Jane Hinckley continued her studies at S. U. I. Since her schedule included classes on Sat- urday, she didn’t get home as often as before. After starting her college career by entertaining the mumps Carley June Erb began working in earn- est and liked college as she found it at Goshen, Indiana. Mary Ellen Swartzendruber and Ada Brenne- man roomed together and attended Washington Ju- nior College at Washington, Iowa. They spent the week-ends at their homes and were often seen at Friday evening functions at C. H. S. Fh Qestiual The morning of October 5, 1940 dawned bright and clear for our twelfth annual Fall Festival at Center High School. The events of the day were a turkey dinner, grade school exhibits, a colt show, grade school program, races and softball and bas- ketball games. The turkey dinner was served to about five hundred. Lincoln School won the first prize for the best grade school exhibits. Mr. Snyder, county superin- tendent, judged the fine display of grade schoel ex- hibits while Mrs. Stoner of North English judged the fancy work and baked goods. In the afternoon the nine schools of this town- ship and Willow Grove and (Hardin township pre- sented a program in the high school assembly. A township softball tournament was held in the after- ncon and won by Hickory Grove. The ‘Colt Show was ably managed by Frank Gin- gerich, Lewis Swartzendruber and Ray Yoder. Oyster Supper The annual oyster supper sponsored by the sshool board was held on March 14. About 100 people came out for the affair despite bad roads. The evening was spent in visiting both before and af- ter eating all the oysters anyone wanted. After the supper letters were awarded to members of the basketball teams for their wor k the past year. Music was furnished by the AC band. Mr. Swartz- endruber also showed some moving pictures taken around the school. Special interest was manifest in the pictures taken at Fall Festival time. A number of personal scenes were also shown. This was a fine opportunity for patrons of the school to meet their school neighbors. PAGE 27
