As underdogs, the boys counted up to eleven: Eugene Birky, Roy Borth, Garrell Dockery, Bobby Jackson, Charlie Maul, Jack Mendelssohn, Vernon Pfled- derer, Cnarne Scnumaker, Ronald Tetzloff, Howard Wandry and Kenneth Wilson. During the year we lost three: Mary Jane Cooper, Bobby Jackson, and Kenneth Wilson, and gained two: Jimmy Monroe and Thomas Henderson. When roll call was again heard in 1939, it was discovered that three class- mates had gone astray: Mary Ellen Banter, Roy Borth, and Garrell Dockery. But to compensate for tneir loss; there were added two new pupils: Iva Hickman and Bet- ty Smitn. By tne end of tne year Betty Smith, Jimmy Monroe, and Ronald Tetzlofl nad gone and Patricia Cummings, Bessie Personette, Ruth Krug, Mary Ellen Banter, and William Beck had enrolled. During the summer of our second year in school, we gained George Maul, Duane Mollenhour, and Michael Smith, and lost Iva Hickman and Charlie Maul. Wnen class was dismissed at the end of our third year, Helen Coyer, Patty Cum- mings, Bonnie Miller, Betty and Duane Mollenhour had ventured off and Dexter l .ee Morris and Fonda Lee Miller ventured in. In our fourtn year, we gained Vernon Birky, William Green, Ralph Hamlet, Lorin Peoples, Winfred Whalen, Dale Eichleberger, Eugene Morris and, Helen Eliott and lost a0ain Mary Ellen Banter, Dexter Lee Morris and Lorin Peoples.

Tnen, at the end of the year, we found we had added Helen Reinhardt and lost Maxine Cheevers, William Green, Dorothy Jackson and Winfred Whalen. In the sixth grade, we greeted Harold Haman, Donald Thomas, Lottie Church, Betty Prough, and Vernon Reed, and we said “Farewell” to Helen Eliott, Dale Eichelbergre, r-ugene Morris, and Michael Smith. As new members of Junior High, our proud seventh grade held the first and foremost seats in the assembly. We also boasted ouix m Abership of thirty-seven, having lost Betty Kneifel and Mary Ellen Sims, but gaiiu Rtichard Brietske, Char- les (the cook) Houser, William Van Dusen, Dale Eichlebf?ger, and Marjorie Downs. In Junior High we lost Charles Houser and Rose Hurley. When we received our diplomas for eignt years of hard work, we lost George Maul, Betty Prough and Vernon Reed. As proud possessors of the title, Freshmen, our class membership depreciated to thirty-three with the ioss of Ed Taylor, William Van Dusen, Fonda Miller, Cloyd Newland, ana Heien Russell at the end of the year and the gain of Rose Hurley, Cloyd Newland, Eugene Peters, and Helen Russell at the beginning of the year. As sophomores, we dwindled down to a scrawny twenty-four at the end of the year. Withdrawls were Richard Breitzke, Lottie Church, Dale Eichelberger, Rose Hurley, Charles Schumaker, William Beck, Bessie Personette, and Don Thomas. Enrollments: Arlene Schoon, Betty Prough and Cork Maul. When school doors opened in 1948, the Junior class welcomed Bill Beck back, but we lost Marjorie Downs. We presented “The Campbells Are Coming”. When we returned this year for our final year in Kouts High School, we found our attendance had remained at twenty-four. At the beginning of the year, we presented the Senior Play, “Head First”, under the direction of Miss Dittmer. When we finished the last lap of our long, but happy journey through school, Bob Hough will receive his diploma with the rest of us.
