E 'fy 1 CLASS HISTORY It was a bright sunny day in September, 1937, the halls of Lordstown school were brought to life when twenty- nine active little lads and lassies enrolled in the first grade under the supervision of Miss Betty Irwin. In our first year we learned to read and write. It was all that we could do to wait for Christmas, Valentines Day.and the last day of school, because on those days we had parties.

Elaine Manross, Mildred Kennedy, Rose Church, Floyn Teeters, Mary and Nedda Marinkovich, Betty and Loretta James left our class. ' We were very impatient while waiting for the little orange school busses to pick us up the first day of schong the next year as we were to be in the second grade. We again had reading, writing and arithmetic under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Adams,-our home room teacher. Melvin Stitle, Don Peterson, Betty Craver, Alice Schweratfeger, left our class. Foster Teeters and Paul Doley joined our class but left again at the end of the year. We felt very proud on the first day of school as we were to be in the third grade and we felt that we would not have to study very hard as we kncw.ao muck. I l f jr Xu In our third year Dorothy Bright,Ted Radtka, Dolores Q Kernahm, Faye Ellen Grantz, Lavonne Bodamer, joined our class. The following left our class, Betty Lou Hartman, Laura Hanna, Dorothy Keller, and Dolores Kernahm. As we waited for our fourth year of school to start we thought about how much fun this year of school was going to be because we would have more than one teacher. This was the year that the girls decided that we could play games as well as the boys. Almost every day when we had recess the girls could be found playing baseball and other games with the boys. Under the supervision of Miss Mary Partridge we 'l learned to tell time which was one thing that we never did forget because we have been watching the clock ever since. ,NL HIGHLIGHTS lgi f-isp
