HISTORY OF THE FOHTY-NINER'S i 'l n the year of '45 we started our long trek across the mountains and deserts to our goal, California. We had heard whispered rumors that there was gold in them 'thar hills. There were people in our party from all parts of the county when we started our Freshman year. From Richland Township there was, Harold Blanchard, Betty Bohnstedt, Martha Cramer, Dean Eberly, Phyllis Eley, Vera Fritz, Betty Gable, Charles Heintzelman, Jr., Rex King, Barbara Kistler, Melvin Kistler, Lester Mena zie, Harold Mitchell, Richard Mitchell, Mary Musselman, Lois Myers, Richard Pichard, Thelma Ray, Richard Schuman, Mary Schrader, Marlouise Schuh, Connie Smith, Robert Shook, Flos- sie Stidham, Linda Stidham, Grace Strattan, Betty Waldeck, and Gene Souder. From Troy came sixteen more people, Neva Bills, Albert Bohnstedt, Dwight Deeter, Garnet Hearn, Norene Hull, Sheldon Marrs, Lynn Klingaman, Margaret Marker,,Lavon Kitson, James Folk, Donna McCullough, Noel Medley, Gloria Myers, Phyllis Rose, Lola Western, and Robert Watson. One man from Columbia Township was James Creager. Befbre we started our long journey through high school, we held ameet- ing to elect officers to govern this Larwill caravan. As President we elected Lavon Kitsong Vice-President,.ReX.K1ngg Sec't-Treasurer, Lois M ersg and Miss Arnold, Sponsor. We were sorry to lose six of our party the first year. Richf ard Pichard, Mary Musselman, James Folk, Donna McCullough, Phyllis Rose, and Melvin Kistler moved to other schools or found work. V As Freshman, the girls won the inter-class tourney, the first Freshman girls ever to win this title in Larvrlll H1ghSchool. This ended the first year of our journey. So far the trip had been fairly easy, but now we are after a higher educa- tion as Sophomores. Three new men joined our party for the Sophomore year. Robert White came from Indianapolis, Robert Bridges from Fort Wayne and George Klingaman from Elkhart. Our group had several people interested in sports. Dwight Deeter won the Local Cross Country Run and Robert Shook was awarded the free-throw medal. Charles Heintzelman, Jr. re- presented Larwill in the Dramatic Reading Contest in Colum- bia City. Near Christmas, George Klingaman moved back to Elkhart and Robert Bridges went back to Fort Wayne. We chose Miss Pittenger as our Sponsor. In September of '47 we crossed a broad river and were engaged in Junior activities. We were down to 52 students in our class. Betty Gable, Garnet Hearn, Martha Cramer, and Linda Stldham decided to leave the caravan to marry and remain in the old home town. Thelma Ray moved to Mount Morris, Illinf oisg Flossie Stidham left for Atwood to attend schoolg
