Class History by Marjorie Piatt On a bright September day in 1931, we, a group of shy frightened children, climbed the hill to school for the first time. We were met at the door of the First.Grade room by Miss O'Hara who welcomed us and soon made us feel at ease, In our group was Marilyn Barnhart, Janet Bartholomai, Mary Bowman, Alice Cook, Vivienne Crosby, Robert DeVoe, Ralph Farner, Duane Garberich, Lillian Gorey, Gerald Patterson, James Repp, John Snell, Dale Whitacre, and Barbara Whitright. Miss Pelton and Mrs. Whitney taught us in the Second Grade the following year, the class being divided into two groups. That year Alethia Davis joined the class. In the Third Grade we had Miss Vanasdal as our teacher, That year two boys, Andy Caesar and Winfred McViciker entered our classe While we were in the Fourth Grade we always secmed to be getting into trouble. Almost everyone at one time or another occunicd the cloak room. Miss Wilfred was our teacher, and Marjorie Piatt and Dick Marth entered our grade. Miss Edwards was our Fifth Grade teacher, By thén we had grown less troublesome as we were beginning to grow UP» During our stay in the Sixth Grade, Vivienne Crosby reentered and Walter Krantz and Robert Rogers entered our Class. Miss Blust was our teacher. The néxt year when we entered the Seventh Grade we were told to go to the High School Building where our homeroom was located. We felt mighty big changing classes, trying to study in study halls, and walking past Seni-rs in the halls, Mr. Mosher was our homeroom teacher.
