X if I SENIORS OF 'b7 We, the Seniors of 'h7, Have done well in the past. In all our undertakings We have never come out last. We have talent and achievement, Handsome boys and girls of beauty, All so smart and filled with pride, 'Cause we've never shirked our duty. We started out as freshmen, Dumb and green, that's trueg But how we've changed in four year's time! It's amazing, we think! Don't you? Our sophomore year was now improving. We'd caught the hang of things, But our Jr. year was far the better, For we gave the banquet and got our rings. As seniors we've really gone to town, Our goals are really high. As time for graduating comes, We'11 start to bid good-by. Departure's sad from friends so kind, But we trust we'1l meet in heaven. Yes, I guess it's hard to beat The Senior Class of 'h7.

ve 21' .Ig 1947 To us, the Seniors of 'h7, the historical year of 1935 marked the beginning of our educa- tional career. In that year thirty-one gay and intelligent little boys and girls entered the first grade. Miss Nellie Pyle was the instructor on the hill while Miss Maggie McB ide taught in the valley and their ambitious little students were Rose Marie Avery, Jack Adams, Dolores Edmunds, Jim Garrison, Jean Hagans, Allen Hein, Jack Helmer, George Hill, Harold Hungerford, Jerry Lou Joh son, Cleo Klein, Corrine Longhofer, Bill Franklin, Donna Powell, Norma Jean Pro- Vince, Don Schlotz, Anita Seifert, Janice Socolofsky, Jerry French, Dean Bernard Hein, Laverne Herbal, Owen McCarty, Gene McNeal, Bill Newcomer, A.J. Pankratz, Wallace Powell, Jenny Ann Sallee, Oswald Schmidt, Nada Bell Schneider, Betty Lee Seifert, and Ruby Smith. In the second grade Wayne Perry, Buford Peters, Geraldine Reindt, Charles and Mary Herendon, John Hall, Druward Klassen, Ruth Klein, Leon McCarty, and Leona Mohn joined us. Those leaving us were Owen McCarty, Bill Franklin, Jerry French, Dean Hein, A.J. Pankratz, Wallace Powell, and Betty Lee Seifert. The third and fourth grade b ought us Albert Hankling, Raynelda Oberny, Helen Reed, Billy Bob Sallsbury, Gertrude and June Sallsbury, Hilden Hayward, and Bill Griggs. Geraldine Reindt moved to Herington, Laverne Herbel left for Nebraska, and John Hall left us for Wichita. Our next year, Betty Kitterman entered our ranks. we felt as though we were taking a very important step when we entered Junior High. Clyde Heibert and Gayle Dee Timberlake were two new additions in the sixth grade while Lester Adcock and Gene McNeal, Ruby Smith, Nada Bell Schneider, and Oswald Schmidt left us. While we were in the seventh grade we helped present the operetta, nTwilight Alley.u Newh comers were Imogene Mathiot, Sylvia Stika, and Ruth Smitheisler. Though we were sad to lose the three Sal1sbury's, two Herendons, Gayle Timberlake, Wayne Perry, and Helen Reed. We planned and presented our graduation exercises in the form of a radio program. B lly Newcomer was the only member lost that year. In the fall of l9h3, thirty-five very timid and green fresh en entered the portals of dear old H.H.S., and how we survived that initiation we never knew! We started our high school career with these new classmates: Harry Haas, Nadine Hett, Harold Hungerford, Wanda Ireland, Earl Janzen, Lucille Ruby, Bob Winkley, Norma Jean Sandwell, Alta Stenzel, Dale Vogel, Vernon Vogel, Coleen Vogel, Dale Weyand, Virginia Chapman, Marcel Steiner, Franklin Reddig, Gerald Richmond, Betty Lucas, Wilma Lauban, Kenneth Klein, Bob Propp, and Dennis Oyer. During our sophomore year Bob Winkley, Virginia Chapman, Marcel Steiner, Franklin Reddig Dennis Oyer, Gerald Richmond, Betty Lucas, Wilma Lauban, and Kenneth Klein dropped out. But we did increase with Bob Shields, Catherine Heerey, and Margaret Pientka. One of our most successful years was our junior year with Sylvia Stika as President, Donna Powell as Vice-President, and Corrine Longhofer as our Secretary-Treasurer. Phyllis Suffield and Ruth Holub joined our fo ces this year. Our junior play, UAct Your Agen, was so successful that we gave a repeat performance by special request. The cast included Don Schlotz, Jim Garrison, Dolores Edmunds, Donna Powell, Jean Hagans, Clyde Heibert, Alta Stenzel, Margaret Pientka, and Norma Jean Sandwell. Also we earned a large amount of money with which we gave a most successful banquet following the theme, WEnchanted Forestu. E Following the traditional motto, nUnited We Cheat, Divided We Flunkn, we rose in the high- est position obtainable in Marion High School. Juanita Gutsch, Ernest Haas, Jack Swain, Boyd Higgins, and Ernest Ireland joined us but with only Juanita and Ernest completing the year. Now we are making plans for our Senior Sneak Day and the class play. f Our class officers are Allen Hein, President, Jim Garrison, Vice-President, and Jean Hagans, Secretary-Treasurer. From every senior of 'h7 we wish to extend our personal appreciation to those giving UI the opportunity of obtaining our education. We shall use our newly gained knowledge to the very best of our ability in whatever we undertake to do.
