Class History The race began on a clear September day in 19Ulu Mrs. Brooks, now deceased, was the official starter of the group of 16. Of this number 11 are finishing the race in Le Roy High School. They includes Paul Nelson, Joe Hanson, Gary Lamon, Kent Meyers, Ted Backus Laura Hoon, Bonnie Hawkins, Sandra Brownlow, Donna McRoberts, Darlene Malcomson, and Kay Nauman. The people who helped us along the race until 1950 were Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Langehaug, Mrs. Helgeson, Miss Knutson, and Mrs. Sumnicht. Highlights of these years include the Christmas operettas. Mother's Day plays, Christmas and Valentine parties and the treats we received on birthdays. Fond memories bring back a few vivid pictures of those years. Remember the doll furniture and dishes our third grade teacher brought us to play with? The paper dolls we made? In fourth grade it was a mock wedding. I'm sure the handsome Irish lad who performed the ceremony had certainly kissed the Blarney Stone. OH, what a gift of gabl The bride was beautiful, but o-o-o-oh that grooml We never did get to see the clinch. How did it end, Paul? This class also stood out in grade school athletics. In seventh grade we got our first taste of high school life. Mrs. Harriet Hall was our teacher and weren't we proud to have her? We thought we were pretty smart, but we learned didn't we, kids? Our first big money making venture was a candy sale. We made $10. Miss Harris coached us through the eighth grade. Highlights of this year were the girl's sextet, and seventh and eighth grade chorus under the leadership of Mrs. Hall. In English, we first discovered our dramatic talents in two short plays presented to first and second grades. Next comes the year we were initiated. Also the year, under Mr. Riley's able supervision, we had a hayride. We got caught in a hailstorm and ended up getting allwet. The whole school teased us for a week. New People who came in during this year were De Anne Wolthoff, Jim Hale, Carol Lappin, Virginia Patton, Dwight Daniels and Carol Jones. In '53 some of us were honored by being chosen waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Mr. McAfee and Miss Bailie assisted in the initiation of the Freshmen. During the year we added a number of Spring Valley-Ostrander area students to our class. These people were: Ann Simon, Roger Tangen, Dallas Sween, Dick King, Norma Woods, Delores Maloney, Ruth Stephen, Gladys Stevens, Ida Drogsvold, Martha Patterson, Harvey Shaw, Bob Bly, and Paul Eastwold. Our Junior year was the most active in our career. We had a class play, Toung Willing and Able. We also put on the first school carnival in the school for a number of years. Under the able direction of Miss Engleson and Mr. McAfee we staged a stupendous prom on the theme of Stardust . Rose Miller and Gordon Mahoney rejoined us and we added Virgil Oldre and Darlene Clark to our ever growing number. This being our Senior year there are many activities. There is the yearbook, a trip, a class play, all sorts of money-making ventures and the usual round of ball games, concerts, and other extra-curricular activities. People who joined us this year are Carl Schmidt and Les Greenleaf making our number U5. The climax of this long race will come at graduation in June, 1956. During these years, we have had our share of athletes, musical talent, and dramatic artists. A few years from now we will compare our positions then with what they are now and see how much further we have progressed.
