In September 38 twenty little toys and girls began their education on the stage of Marion City Schools. In the Hill School with Miss Baltz as teacher were: June Avery, Tim Burkholder, Earl Grimes, Roger Hannaford, Treva Kelsey, Wayne Kelsey, Donna Miesse, Leslie Powell, Kent Richmond, LeRoy Roberts, Anna Belle Winter, Virginia Wright, Sally Duke, and Richard Rhode. In the valley with Miss Johnson as teacher were: Billy Carpenter, Dale Ecker, Monty Frazier, Wayne Klein, C. R. Moulton, Kathryn Popp, and Howard Buford. In the second grade, Nora Zeller and Norma Sly joined us. In the third and fourth grades we stumbled through the usual pitfalls of long div- ision and multiplication tables, and we also engaged in a more pleasurable experience of the study of the world, Leota Bozone, Joyce Keazer from Sedwick, Charles Propp, and Shirley Morehouse joined us in the fourth grade. Howard Buford left us. In the fifth grade Leota Bozone and Shirley Morehouse left, but Loretta Conyers, Don Criger and Goldie pairing joined us, so we really didn't lose our number of students that year. In the 6th and 7th grades we thought we were really growing up to be quite the thing. In the 6th grade we gained two students—Max Merrill and Claudine Dody and lost one— Loretta Conyers. In the 7th grade, Ralph Dohner, Roger Ireland, Darlene Zeller, Lavere Metzler, and Glenna Jolly joined us. That year we lost Billy Carpenter and Goldie Quiring. At last came the 8th grade; the last year of grade school. That year Joan Haas join- ed us, but later moved to Oklahoma. This is the year we presented the operetta Top 0' The World. In the fall of 6 forty very timid and green freshmen entered the portals of M.H.S. and how we survived that initiation we'll never know 1 We started our high school course with these new classmates: Ramona Conner, Edith Graham, Dorothy Adams, Vicki Barrett, Loretta Conyers, Betty Druse, Patsy Hetl, Mary Ann Markham, Donna Rose Pancratz, Betty Rudolph, Joan Winkley, Norman Bredemeier, Jim Fruechting, Jack Herzet, Don Klein, Bill Markham, Leu Jean Nienstedt, Dolores Razor, Fred Lehrer, uid Darlene Richmond. Charles Levitt joined us the second semester. That year we lost Ramona Conner, Edith Graham, Mary Ann Markham, Betty Rudolph, Don Klein, and Fred Lehrer. During our Sophomore year we gained a few more students which included: Harold Bowers, Patsy Meysing, Karl Richey, Stanley Simpson, and Verona Vinduska. We lost Stanley Simpson and Leu Jean Nienstedt during the year, also Jack Herzet and Karl Richey, who dropped out and later joined the Army. Our Junior year was our most successful year. Our president for that year was Max Merrill, vice-president was Jim Fruechting and secretary-treasurer was Kathryn Popp. That year Dick Bredemeier, James Nansen, Jerry Haney, Marion Hett, Roy Pienkta, and Don Sklenar joined us. Later that year we lost Marion Hett, who joined the Air Force and Richard Rhode who moved to Missouri. Our Junior play Mystery At Midnight was well received by audiences of two evening performances. On An Island With You was the theme of the Ban- quet we produced with the help of Mr. Shepherd, our sponsor. Now at last the highest obtainable position of M.H.S.—SENIORS—. This year we gained one student, Daryle Hiebert, who joined us at the end of the first semester, and lost Patsy Meysing who is attending Sacred Heart, at Wichita, and Darlene Zeller, who is now Mrs. Laverne Kerbs. One of our biggest events was the homecoming game against Council Grove. The queen, who won only by a few votes was Patsy Hett, with Laura Jane Bredemeier and Nora Zeller, as her attendants. She was crowned at the half. The kings were Roger Hannaford and Dick Bredemeier who tied for this place, with Max Merrill and Tim Burkholder as their attendants. In spite of this event we won by three touchdowns and celebrated with a big dance after the game. Now we are patiently waiting for the night we receive our diplomas and be on our way to a successful life. 14
