‘jtyoittvry In the fall of 1943, forty-five eager boy and girl entered the fir t grade under Mi s Jennie Mast's supervi ion. The second year Miss Alberta Augsburger took over Miss Mast's job, and taught the same class. Our third grade teacher was Miss Joy Hooley followed by Miss Rhea Yoder, the fourth grade teacher. We entered the fifth grade with Mrs. Gail Morrison, and finished grade school with Mr. Andrew W. Hunsperger in the sixth grade. In Junior High School we began making money for the class, and we sold concessions at the Junior High Basketball Tourney. As we entered our next year of schooling, there were three students who came from York Township. Those were Wayne Vincent, Alvera Eash and Ruth Eash. Nancy Mishler, from Concord, joined us in our Freshman year also. The Sixteen , consisting of Jelon Buchtel, Ellen Yoder, Betty Lou Miller, Stella Mecum, Gayle Albert and Jose Ann Tressler, were chosen at the beginning of the year. Instead of the Sophomores having an initiation party for the Freshmen, there was a half day given for Play Day. This was the first time Play Day was used at Middlebury High School. We had 25 members in our Sophomore year and we chose our class rings. The Junior year was a little more exciting. As for our play, we gave The Daffy Dills. Then in May our Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Burdick Hotel at Kalamazoo, Michigan with The Rainbow as our theme. Looking into our last year as Seniors we find that this is the year we will never forget. There are actually only 15 members that have started in the first grade and have ascended through each class with one another. This year there will be 28 graduating in the Senior Class. Many of us will never forget our grade school days that we spent together along with all the mischief and trouble we caused our teachers. In the fall, we gave Our Town as a successful play. The last week in April we took our Senior Trip to New York and had an interesting experience. Frank Doerfel came as an exchange student from Berlin, Germany, and became one of us for the year. Melva Hansen came for the second semester from Hurley, South Dakota. As our last year officers we elected the following: President, Gayle Albert; Vice President, Lester Miller; Secretary, Lorraine Kauffman; Treasurer, Jose Ann Tressler; Reporter, Barbara Yoder; S. O. S. Representatives, Ruth Eash and Frank Doerfel; Sponsors, Miss Mary Hoover, and Mr. Alfred Albrecht.
