K O S E R I A N JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1925, 26 pupils entered the Kouts High School as Freshmen namely, Kathryne Griffith, Mary Garlach, Edna Weisjahn, Francis Hopkins, Gladys Pietsch, Barbara Spen- cer, Vivian Cannon, Harriette Kneisley, Mabel Mockler, Doris Mil- ler, Genevieve Drazer, Harold Ford, Jack Dittmer, Clarence Greiger, Clifford Birkey, Arthur Heinger, Chauncey Birky, Ewalt Jahnz, Dorothy Sherman, Dorothy Spiess, John Diskivish, May- nard Hendrickson, Daniel Heiniger, Inez Adams, Lillian Weisjahn and Lawrence Pumroy. During our first year eleven of our class members decided to leave us. Miss Kuell was our class sponsor and helped us through many hardships. In September, 1926, sixteen members enrolled as Sophomores. These were: James Prevo, Gladys Pietsch, Mary Garlach, Gene- vieve Drazer, Kathryn Griffith, Chauncey Birky, Ewalt Jahnz, Lawrence Pumroy, Arthur Heiniger, Harriette Kneisley, Vivian Cannon, Harold Ford, Fennimore Biggart, Barbara Spencer, Doris Miller, and Jack Dittmer. Through the efforts of Miss McCabe, our class sponsor, we realized the importance of education, so we went through the year together neither gaining nor losing a mem- ber. When the school year ended, Fennimore and Chauncey were still Sophomores. Arthur liked farming better, Doris, Barbara, Vivian and Harold moved away. In September, 1927, eight of the original 26 became Juniors. These were: Genevieve Drazer, Gladys Pietsch, Mary Garlach, Kathryne Griffith, Ewalt Jahnz, Harriette Kneisley, Lawrence Pumroy and Jack Dittmer. James Prevo was still with us and welcomed Phoebe Warren and Fred Mamatt into our class. About Christmas-time Jack and Ewalt decided we were too slow for them so they joined the Senior Class. We are still ten strong because Barbara Spencer decided Kouts was the best place to live so she joined our class. Although we still have another year before us, we greatly appreciate the effort of our present class sponsor. Miss Case and hope that some day we may prove to her that her efforts were not useless and that next year we may be the efficient and enthusiastic “Class of 1929.” % 19 2 8 a Page twenty-five
