SENIOR HISTORY In the blessed year of 1937, 29 little children left their paper dolls and ve- locipedes to gain new knowledge at the old school . In the first grade Lucille got her mouth pasted shut and Don M. got a spanking, in the second grade a new school was built. QSome people have ideas, but we know it wasn't us., For the first two years, we had Miss Zimm-5'man, in the third grade: Miss Toothacker was privileged to have us little angels. The class made scrapbooks of people of other lands. In the fourth grade Miss Rhea Yoder let us have projects in the sand table. The fifth grade found us with two teachers, Mr. Perry G. Miller, and Mrs. Tom Sovine. People say we were rowdies but we don't believe it. Dis- cipline was different in the sixth grade with Mr. Walter Babb. Mr. Babb was elected township trustee that year and left us at the end of the first semester. Miss Rhea Yoder took over the second semester, and we came back to all our old tricks. Many of us participated in Tom Sawyer , an operetta. Hooray! We arrive in Junior High! Now we got lockers and can go from one room to another! We get awfully restless because we have no recess. My, how time flies! We arrived in High School. Well, we got a few things accomplished in our Freshman year. The class colors, green and white, were chosen. We chose lvlr. Overmyer as our sponsor. The initiation was easy. The return party was really something. We also sponsored a skating party. ln the Sophomore year, we elected Donald Yoder, President: Jeanne Schrock, Vice-President: Paul Swartzentruber, Secretary: Martha Yoder, Reporter, Toby Miller, Sergeant-at-arms: and Mr. Winger as Sponsor. We were too busy studying to pass them there old tests to get much else done. In our Junior year things really began to happen. We elected Paul Swartzen- truber as President: Jeanne Schrock, Vice-Presidentg Martha Yoder, Secretary, Donald Yoder, Treasurer: Dalis Ann Yoder, Reporter: and Miss Mary Berkrnan and Miss Annis as our Sponsors. First we gave a play, Jane Eyre . This was the first draxna ever to be put on in Middlebury. Next we got our rings and flashy green sweaters. Our Banquet went off with a bang! Of course, we were a bit scared in formals, but all enjoyed it anyway. y The Senior year found us jumping and raring to go. We elected Charles Yoder, President, Don Yoder, Vice-President, Martha Yoder, Secretary, Jeanne Schrock, Treasurer: Virginia Schrock, Reporter and Mr. Immel and Miss Shoup as our Sponsors. We had some roaring class meetings but they tamed down. The first thing we did was to put on The Campbells Are Coming , it was the best play ever put on in M. H. S. It was a great success. We spent many hours in getting out this annual. Next we sponsored the Foghorn, the gossip that went in there, Wow! We sold concessions at Basketball games and sponsored a puppet show. As this book goes to press we are still undecided as to where we will go on our Senior trip and who will remain here at M. H. S. But we hope that we have made some cherishing friends and have done something to better this school. We wish to thank everyone who has made this the farnous class of 49ers . 24
