SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1951, thirty-six starry-eyed first graders began their long journey of education. With Mrs. Oberlin's kindness and understanding we soon realized that there was more to this world than Mother and Father. Mary Ann Miller joined our happy family for the last semester. Harriet Bontrager, Ricky Shellenberger, and Delbert Miller entered second grade with us. These live wires gave Mrs. Oesch added responsibility. In the third grade we met Mrs. Lantz and also Charlotte Berkey. We, of course, lived up to the phrase, third grade angels. Mrs. Copp was our fourth grade teacher. This was the year that Karen Bortz was introduced to us. Each week we would crown a health king and a health queen. Our fifth grade class was divided. Our teachers were Mrs. Bontrager, Mrs. Krider, and Mrs. Fisher. Lawrence Pletcher arrived at this confusing time. Several times during this year Mrs. Bontrager’s class came in from recess late. The whistle that she blew just wasn't heard when the two fifth grade classes played together. Mr. Yoder was our sixth grade teacher. Marcia Hayworth joined us as we anxiously awaited this year when we would have our first male teacher. However, after careful observation we decided that teachers were teachers whether they were male or female. Dick Cook joined us in the early spring of our last year in elementary. Entering Junior High was another great step. Moving from class to class was an appealing idea. We also had lockers for the first time. What fun it was to make all that noise! This . year seemed very short because of the many new experiences that we had. We could sit in study hall beside a Senior, we were invited to high school convocations, and, most of all, we had a small voice in school activities. Treva Frye and Carolyn Yoder shared these moments with us. The next year we settled down to studying. We tried to act more grown-up. After all, we had to set an example for the seventh graders. At this point Karen Mast joined our class. Then came the day when we were full-fledged high school students. Wade Berwick. Naomi Beachy. Virgil Dolph, Elaine Hooiey, Glen Kauffman, Betty Miller, Jerry Walker, and Sandra Weltz came from York and Barbara Harris came from Jefferson to share their high school experiences with us. The first of our many adventures was our initiation by the Sophomores.
