CLASS HISTORY SEVENTEEN In the school year 1945-46, thirty-three fright- ened but happy children entered the first grade. They were: Judy Blue, Sue Borton, Dorothy Christian, Bonnie Cochran, Carol Dillman, Joyce Eiler, Cara Lynn Fenstermaker, Martha Hively, Linda Horn, Patricia Leighty, Leah Nell Lemler, Janet Romine, Sandra Kay Seitner, Beverly Tinkey, Fred Anderson, Keith Besson, Marion Boggs, Junior Clampitt, Glen Davis, George Fitzgerald, Ronald Grubbs, Donald Hedington, Larry Horn, Billy Hudson, Barry Igo, Dale Kindig, Larry Long, Dwayne McKinley, Wayne Nuell, Leroy Scott, Ronnie Secrist, Rex Shumaker, and Jack Smythe. During the next few years, we gained new friends and lost old ones. As fifth graders, our class suffered a great loss. This was the year in which Marion Boggs was taken from us in death. Entering the seventh, proud and as happy as we could be, we found that we had gained Adam Blue and Tom Hoover. At last we had entered high school. We realized that this was a real stepping stone toward our goal of graduation. Our freshman year brought us a new student, Dorothy Ken- dall. Our sophomore year gave us our first op- portunity to make money. We sold magazines and four won trophies for their salesmanship. At the beginning of our junior year, we met five new classmates, which were Burket trans- fers. They were Donna Smith, Mary Kate Mil- ler, Janice Rohrer, Richard Haupert and Richard Goshert. We were happy to have them join us. Cur class entertained the seniors of 56 by taking them to an ice show at Elkhart. The main activity was our junior play, The Atomic Blonde. We finally reached our senior year. As we took roll call that first morning, we found we had gained Jim Unzicker, from De Motte. (During this year we are sorry to say, we lost Judy Blue, Donna Smith, and Alice Surface.) Now, we had only twenty-nine left in our class. They were: Sue Borton, Dorothy Christian, Bon- nie Cochran, Carol Dillman, Joyce Eiler, Dor- othy Kendall, Janice Rohrer, Janet Romine, June Romine, Beverly Tinkey, Leah Nell Lemler, Fred Anderson, Keith Besson, Curtis Binkley, Glen Davis, Alfred Dorell, James Eaton, Charles Feldman, George Fitgerald, Dick Goshert, Rich- ard Haupert, Tom Hoover, Junior Clampitt, Larry Horn, Dale Kindig, Larry Long, Dwayne McKinley, Ronald Secrist and Jim Unzicker. Our senior trip to New York and Washington, D. C. was May 5 to 11. Our sponsor, Mrs. Snel- lenberger, accompanied us. The two biggest days of our high school education were Baccalaurate on May 19, and Commencement on May 20, 1957. JANICE ROHRER This page so as-' ( ! by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Utter
