Miss Weikert greeted us with a big smile and we all settled down to the serious business of kindergarten. We even showed our skill by building houses out of wooden blocks. Remember Nancy, our doll? She was our pride and joy. We used to put her to bed and feed her and dress her. Then on to lirst grade and Miss Williams tMrs. Knezeak nowl and Miss Sherman. This year we were split into two dillerent grades, and how we hated it! Do you remember Bob Crouse and Bob Goodrich and the accidents they had? Boy! What a mess they made! Second grade meant real desks. We were big stuff then. Remember the thrill we used to get out of painting the big pictures Miss MacElroy made for us? Rose Durkin joined our happy crowd this year. On to the third grade and Miss Hinten, and boy! were we little devils! Hey, Punkey-how about that airplane ride she gave you! And say. Bill Eldridge-you surely do go a long way for your shoes, although Canada isn't too tar, now that we have jets. Bob White, Iohn Golubic, Martha Yothers, and Lynne Davis joined us. Fourth grade and the second floor. We were really big now. Remember Mrs. Reddinger's writing classes? And also how Peg Myers used to guard her purse ior her? What did she think ot the rest of us? This year we were honored by the presence ol three new pupils: Marion Vidak. Ronnie Wilson, and our joker, Bob Sell. Even way back then he was cracking jokes. On to the fifth grade and we were unbearable brats by then-tWe always were.J This year we had the Roush twins, and we never knew which one we were talking to. Remember Miss Albert's geography classes and her never-ending stories ol her South American tours? Sixth grade and we were the Kings of the grade school. Bebe Loblnger and Leo Bard joined us this year. We were all wrapped up in planning our graduation program. This gave us all a chance to show our hidden talents. No one could wait lor the summer to be over so that we could get inside the big building called McDonald High School. Mr. Hadley was our teacher this year, and what a job he had! Remember how we were always getting lost 'cause all the floors looked the same to us? This year Sharon Gahagan. Dick Muckridge, and Ed Bald- win joined us. Eighth grade and Leona Newhouse joined us. This year we thought we were pretty big, because we thought we knew all the ropes. And what we thought of those poor seventh graders-those underclassmen! Ninth grade. and Mr. Hadley was still our homeroom teacher-mainly because no other teacher could stand us. Mary Ann Benyo leit us this year to go to Niles. We were definitely the big wheels of the second floor. Tenth grade and again we were split up. Mr. Donaldson helped Mr. Hadley out-'we were just too much for one teacher to handle. Barb Brown and Eva Baal joined us this year. Eleventh grade, and this brought the event which we were all looking forward toAProm. lt was the biggest and the bestest prom in the history of M.H.S.-at least we thought so. And also we received our beautiful graduation rings. Were those poor underclassmen ever jealous ot us! Martha Ivy and Bob Allen joined us, and Bob Goodrich leit us because of illness. Twelfth grade and our goal was reached-we were seniors at last. Now our date book was filled-eeven bulging at the seams. First came our pictures. What a shock some ol us had! Next came invitationsfthen Prom. The juniors did a wonderful job, but it could never compare with ours!-but whose could? Then came the solemn baccalaureate. And finally that long-awaited day arrived-Graduation! Most of us cried, even though we had often thought oi quitting because things didn't go our way. But we all agree it surely summed up to be something wonderful, and we'll always look back on those days as the best days in our life. We'll never forget dear old M.H. S, by Carleen Ryan Peggy Myers Eileen Killen F-Acc 15
