1U4ZbUZ Class Hisforv One fine bright early autumn morning in the year l9hh we six- teen scared little children came into Mrs. Powlen's room: Nancy Beckley, Richard Bridge, Kenneth Brown, Melvin Bonnell, Harland Beecher, Robert Catron, Helen Elliott, Alice Nickels, Robert Lee Sterner, Gene Swank, Eileen Waddups, Richard Winn, Beverly Watts, Judith Ann Wiseman, Nancy Way, and Richard Adams. When we started our second year with Mrs. Powlen, we found we had lost Alice Nickels Beverly Watts, and Judith Ann Wiseman. By this time we had lost ou: fears and were enjoying our work and classmates. The third year of school we marched across the hall to Mrs. Winn's room. We were nine in number, since Eileen Waddups didn'i return. During the su mer we lost Melvin Bonnell and Harlanc Beecher. Gene Swank decided to stay another year with Mrs. Powlen. During the school year Allen Hanna and Keith Michael joined us, bui Richard Adams left. The next year Shirley Hurlburt decided to stag back with Mrs. Winn another year, so she joined our class, along with Harold Titus and Beverly Howell, making us thirteen in number. Then we moved across the hall to Mr. Jones's room. Dorcas Burkhart, Ann Mae Howard, Rosie Howard, and Tom thanks joined the class, but Harold Titus left. The second pear with Mr. Jones we lost Anna Mae Howard, Rosie Howard, Tom Shards, and Nancy Beckley. Robert Lee Sterner left us the following summer. Up to the second floor we went, happy to have achieved so muck learning. Beverly Howell moved away, Tom Shanks re-joined the class and Claude Cunningham, and Billy Fairchild entered later in the yeal During our eighth year we picked up Shirley Dunn, Bobby Spence1 and Norman Warner, and Keith Michael and Tom Shanks moved away. This was the year our basketball boys won the Northside Tournament, the County Junior High Tournament, and the Four-Way Junior High Tourna- ment under the coaching of Mr. Hyman, so we felt pretty good. When we were green freshmen, Shirley Dunn, Bobby Spencer, Nancy Way, and Shirley Hurlburt moved away. Now we were ten in number. We were guided by two sponsors, Mrs. Hight and Mrs. Pickle. Darcas Burkhart moved to Twelve Mile, and Normalou Unger fron Twelve Mile joined the class in March of the Sophomore year. Misa Hall helped us survive our trials this year. The nJolly Juniors,' with the able help of Mr. Kitchell, sol: Christmas cards, entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom, and completed our other activities. Shirley Hurlburt re-joined the class for two months: then she left us again. Helen Elliott enterec a school in Colorado. Now we are Sophisticated Seniors! Hvery year there is more tc be done! Again Mr. Kitchell is helping us. When Robert Catron transferred to Logansport, it left us a graduating class of eight: Claude Cunningham, Allen Hanna, William Fairchild, Richard Bridge, Normalou Unger, Richard Winn, Nonwmn Warner, and Kenneth Brown. With the senior trip our school days will be over. We leave with regret, but we are looking forward to our adventures out in the world.
