CAROL AGARD MICKEY BOWMAN They both survived, however, and entered the third grade with the rest of us. In this class, in addition to the flag salute and the Lord's Prayer, we sang America (My Couhtry Tis of Thee) each morning before we started class. In show and tell, another remark- able experience: Kathy brought her baby brother (Doug) as her item for the day. In the fourth grade, the girls discovered boys, and Joan and Kathy (what, Again?) got in trou- ble for writing love letters to Mike Ciskowski. The boys discov- ered something also: punishment is not to be laughed at. While Mrs. Cassingham spanked Mike Tebow with a history book, Duane Robertson saw a bit of humor in the situation, and started laugh- ing. He, too, was spanked. In the fifth grade our class was split up. Mrs. Simons took some of our rank, and game Mrs. Bolwahn the rest. That year, as the Beatles were introducing Psy- chedelic music, and pop art was taking hold, we spent much of our time making and breaking secret codes. RICKY CINK KAREN DIVELBISS

SENIOR MIKE CISKOWSKI President RODNEY KROUTIL Vice-President THE HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CIASS OF 1976 Our class began in August of 1964, when we all came together to make the first grade of 63-64 school year. In those days, educa- tion was still made up of the three R's: reading 'riting, and 'rithmatic. During the course of that year, we took time to write get-well letters to any friends or classmates who became ill. Birth- days were special, and we had parties at the end of such days. Mrs. Fogel would draw a cake on the blackboard for us, with a can- dle for each year. (This tradition carried on into second grade. ) In second grade, our numbers increased, as students from the Catholic school joined us. During this year, those of us who had loose teeth will remember that Mrs. Taylor could easily have had a career in dentistry. And, appro- priately enough, that was the year that Sherrie Holden brought her tonsils to show and tell. In the spring came the annual May Day track meet, at which Joan Arter- burn and Kathy Warren were strip- ped of their honors for being en- tered in the wrong age category. JOAN ARTERBURN Sec.-Tres.

SENIOP DEBBIE ENGLAND CAROLYN FITZGERALD In sixth grade, our class was re-united, and the Beatles broke up. During the summer (July 16, 1969), we had watched a man walk on the moon. We all started noticing a world that was larger than just what we had experienced before. However, we continued to find entertainment in class, such as a volcano made for a science project starting a fire in the trash can, or tearing the screen door off Mrs. Simons reading lab. At the end of the year, Mr. Reese guided us through our grade promotion, and we all prepared for the glor- ious world of Junior High School. We entered seventh grade thinking that we were Big Wheels and continued to think that way despite efforts of the upperclassmen. In eighth grade, still thinking we were the best thing to happen to Medford High in a long while, we entertained ourselves by cheat- ing on tjests in Earth Science. (note to Mrs. Hildinger: Kathy and Mike started it all. ) Our freshmen year, we caused so much trouble in Jr. High Chorus we got switched to High School. MINDY HART SHERRIE HOLDEN
