Senior Class History In the fall of 1938 many frightened little five-year olds enter- ed the first grade in the Little Sioux School and in September of 1939 two of the present Senior class enrolled in the second grade with many others. They were Dwight Alton and Lorraine Headley. In the third grade Deloris Layton entered from Mondamin and dur- ing their fourth year in school Lorraine Headley moved to Omaha. Gladys and Gladeth Ruffcorn joined the group in fifth grade but Deloris Layton left for Oregon the next year. At the beginning of the seventh year the class welcomed Helen Conyers, Donald Grandgenett, Kenneth Nusum, and Iris Pippitt. There were eight who were graduated from the eighth grade in 1946 under the super- vision of Mrs. Gertrude Edmonds. The Class of 1950 entered high school with seventeen mem- bers with Mrs. Laura Cutler as sponsor. This number was rais- ed to nineteen when Dolores and Lawrence Epperson came from a school in Colorado. Later, David Jones and Jack Little re-enter- ed from Pickering, Missouri. Mrs. Vada Glasser acted as sponsor. The Junior year was begun with fourteen members, the class hav- ing lost Creg Hauswirth during the suxnmer.
