CLASS HISTORY ln the fall of 1938 seven small children arrived at the Martinsburg Public School. They were Joe MCardle, Jane Brandemuhl, Donna Zinn, Norma Thompson, Billy Thompson, Roger Voss, and Paul Wellenstein. Our teacher was Dorothy Jones. Later in the year, two new pupils were added to the list, Ray Ullrich and Bobbie Rahn. The following year, Bonnie Armstrong taught these pupils in the second grade with the addition of Charles Harder and Harold Davis. Roger Voss moved away. On September 1, 1941, eleven starry-eyed pupils marched into the third grade room and seated themselves for the beginning of another year. Their teacher was still Bonnie Armstrong. Norma and Billy Thompsen had left but Beverly Koeppe, Barbara Wolfe and Emil Schoenrock had come into the third grade. The fourth year, beginning August 31, 1942, found Viola Blohxn teaching this same group. Stephen Hanson had joined the class but Barbara Wolfe, Beverly Koeppe, Harold Davis, and Charles Harder were no longer with us. The fifth year Bernice Casey taught us until Christmas when Alice Kamrath took over so that Miss Casey could marry her soldier boy. In the spring, Stephen Hanson moved away to Allen. Alice Karnrath taught the sixth year and our class gained Jewell Bottger. Later Stephen returned to live with his grandparents and rejoined the class. The following year, Miss Kamrath still taught the group to which was added Billy Anderson, Mickey Essy and Benny Lane. 9

The eighth year, Alice Kamrath was still teaching but Benny Lane moved away. We all took the dreaded County Examination for high school entrance. All but one of us successfully passed into high school. The class now consisted of Jane Brandemuhl, Joe MCardle, Bobbie Rahn, Raymond Ullrich, Paul Wellenstein, Emil Schoenrock, Mickey Essy, Bill Anderson, Jewell Bottger, with Dick Stallbaum and Mary Gensler joining us from the country. Stephen has returned to Allen and Donna went to California. Our teacher was Dick Horton. This last year our teacher is C. L. Hanson. Dick Stallbaurn failed to join us in the fall. Our enrollment is strangely ten pupils in each class. We are also evenly divided in high school in another way---half boys and half girls. CLASS OFFICERS President ..... . .
