Class History On a beautiful day in September of 1939 thirty young and overly anxious students climbed up the hill to Lodi High School to their first days in the halls of knowledge. Although there were thirty of us only eleven of us are left: Don Cash, Jim Crum, Doris Ginter, Gordon Hartzell, Anita Indoe, Windy Klinect, Sara Lawton, Gus Mathys, June Stanley, Bernard Whitmore, and Frank Rice. Miss Delong was our teacher. After passing into the second grade we were joined by a smiling face from Texas, Pat Harris. We left the second grade so quickly we took Mrs. Whit- ney along with us. We fired through the third grade so quickly that they hired a new teacher, Mrs. Fuller, to slow us down. In the fourth grade we were joined by OnaLee Flangan. At the start of our fifth year in school our teacher, Miss Edwards, had three paddles made, because after all we were upstairs now, and well—one paddle wasn't enough. Our sixth year rolled around bright and early in September at which time a new face was observed, Bob Moss. When we became seventh graders the drugstore had to order a new sup- ply of headache powder for Miss Wise. There was also a severe shortage of paper that year. Lodi School was con- suming so much for detention hall slips. In the eighth grade we enjoyed the luxury of breaking in the new seventh graders to high school life. Mrs. Grimn was our advisor. Doris Pope and Kay Pickering joined our ranks this year. Finally the day arrived when we became Freshmen. This year Max Em- mons, Russell Gordon, Pat Laidley, Marlene Kindig, Harold Weitzel, and Ethelmaye Schaefer joined our class to help make it miserable for the teachers—ask Mr. Dowler, our home room teacher. At that time we had one of the largest classes in high schoo]— over forty. In our Sophomore year we had the former Miss Jones who guided us to victory in two float contests. Phyllis Gynn joined our ranks this year. Our Junior year was filled with many activities including the refreshment concessions at athletic events and our class play, “Who's Batty Now?” Our play was directed by Mrs. Eastman. Our class advisor was Mr. Egger. The biggest event of the year was our Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at the Wooster Country Club on May sixth. Then at last September 1950 rolled around and we ruled the roost. Ad- vising our activities was Miss Sechrist. Our Senior Class Play, “Seventeen Is Terrific,” drew one of the largest crowds ever to attend a play in Lodi. The highlight of the year was our trip to Washington, D. C. on May sixteenth to May twentieth. The climax of our school life came on May twenty-fifth when our commence- ment exercises were held.
