Under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Thelma Wolfe, we learned our A.B.C.'s and numbers. During our second grade under Mrs. Zimmerman's direction, we learn- ed more about numbers. We also turn- ed from printing and did a little bit of writing at the end of our second year. It was the first half of our third year our class was split, part were with Mrs. Zimmerman and part with Mrs. Naanes. Upon returning from our Christinas vacation, we were surprised and thrilled to find we had a room all our own with Mrs. Florence Wilson as our teacher. In our fourth grade year we were taught by Mr. Earl Hurley. This was the year we learned our multiplica- tion tables, and also became familiar with division of numbers. Our fifth grade year wa3 spent under the direction of Mr. Frank Farnsley. This was the year we print- ed two class papers entitled, The 5th Grade Journal.” We also had a contest to see who could name and spell all I4.8 states correctly. There were five who did so, they were: Sandra Zeitz, John Lehker, Phyllis Jones, Elizabeth Miller, and Beverly Petersen. Those making one error and placing second were: Janet Hostetler and Saundra Moyer. This also was the year our boys started to show a real interest in basketball. In sixth grade we had Mr. Miller as our teacher. The boys got real ambitious and built a baseball dia- mond on the grade school side of the playground. We began to consider ourselves quite grown up by the time we entered the seventh grade. Most of the boys went out for Jr. High Basketball. We had a new experience in our eighth grade end that was in science, doing experiments and trying our hands at making soap. And then came our Freshman year. Our first year in high school. We had looked forward to this year with much anticipation. Freshman initia- tion was held shortly after school began that fall. Although we had to dress in some of the most ridiculous outfits and wear necklaces of onion, garlic, ana other garden vegetables, we enjoyed it very much. During this year, Don Smith received the school batting trophy. Our Sophomore year the class gave three short plays at Christmas time. We were also proud of two of our girls; one was Cheryl Johnson, who won second place in Dramatics at the County Oratorical Contest, and the .other, Estella Perry, who won first place in the Heraid-Argus Correspondence Contest. It was this year that we had Drivers' Training. There were many experiences that we will remember, such as: backing onto sidewalks and into cornfields, almost driving into a swamp, going 70 m.p.h. on a gravel road, and stalling in the middle of a busy intersection. Our Junior year was probably the most exciting of all. The year was highlighted by first, the ordering of our long-awaited class rings, then the Junior Play, entitled, No Boys Allowed,” and then our prom, theme being, Dancing In the Dark, which was given in honor of the graduating class of '57. Once again Mr. Riley has the task of guiding another group of Sen- iors to the long-awaited day of grad- uation. The Senior Class of '5o has ten that have attended all twelve years at Mill Creek out of twenty who are graduating. Those of the '58 Graduating Class are as follows: Judy Daniel Marlene Ollhoff Estella Perry Harvey Beverly Petersen Dick Piotrowicz Bob Rockwell Dale Schwenk Shirley Schwenk Don Smith Sandra Tennis Ed Wolfe Sandra Zeitz Janet Hostetler Cheryl Johnson Phyllis Jones Charles Kautz Ruth Kellogg John Lehker 3ill McCombs Saundra Moyer We are looking forward to Grad- uation Day which will open the door to a new way of life for us. But we will cherish our happy, carefree days at M.C.H.S. for the rest of our lives. denotes twelve year M.C.H.S. student uni a rs Miss Dorton Sponsor Mary Blalock Virginia Carlsonl David Churchill James Fowler Carolynne Griffin Norman Hostetler Camella Hunt Loretta Johnson Carol Ludtke Donald Noel David Peery Joyce Pulaski Tom Sharp Phyllis Slisz Patricia Smith James Spence Wendell Tarnow I Carol Weeden Beverly White I Sandra Worthington David Zeitz ramo its Miss Place Sponsor Marlin Alheim Robert Boyer Marcella Bracken Connie Brown Karel Collings Shirley Cravens Mary Lou Edwards William Godfrey Carol Green Melvin Greene Diana Henning Catherine Hartig Linnea Iantria Ranaall Jones James Kautz LeVoy Landisman Oreste Lantero Anita Lindsley Helen Meyer Bill Noel Laureen Peery Paul Perry JoAnn Pulaski Caryl Saxton Charlene Schwenk Gene Smith James Woday Bill Zeitz Sonja Mattocks Dallas Miller Donna Miller Carmalee Mullins Barbara Noel William Perry Lewis Reese James Robinson Marion Robinson Judy Smith Arnold Devereaux Roland Hamilton Charles Gray Loretta Harper Edward Holmquest Dianne Hooten Loretta Hostetler Marilyn Hostetler Jacquelyn Johnson Marjorie Johnson Carol Jones Larry Knowlton Donna Krueger Larry LaTour Marple Lawson 6 Mr. Godsey Sponsor Marsha Bierly Peggy Brown Ronnie Carlson Gerald Daniel in t n Landa Smith Roxie Smith John Spence Alfred Tener Joseph Wilcznski Nancy Wilson Walker Wolff David Worthington Sharon Wheeler Mary Churchill Robert Daniel Carol Diedrich Georgians Fowler Barbara Gaul Elizabeth Gaul Robert Godfrey Linda Hawn Loren Heirbrandt Mike Henning Claudette Herrington Jean Hostetler Sally Kabowski David Kautz Virginia Lantero Carol Lehman John Long Beaulah Ludtke Kathleen Miller Kurtis McMahon Arnetta Perkins Gerald Piotrowicz Hearld Robinson James Ryan Nancy Sawyer Lynn Smith Ula Weeden Mr. Michael Sponsor Ann Blanda Suzanne Blanda Raymond Borkowski Joe Brown James Collings Dixie Croussore Janice Dunk Dennis Ford Loretta Gray Robert Hanna Gerald Harvey Marion Herrington James Hostetler Jeannie Iantria Harry Johnson Donna Jones Georgianna Kabowski Larry LeRoy Larry Long Becky McCombs Donald Meyer Georgia Miller William Nicely Peggy Noel Linda Perry Julie Piotrowlcz James Riedl William Robinson William Sawyer Jack Sciara Leta Shaw Ronnie Skinner Joe Smith Kenneth Snyder Patrick Spence Larry Weeden Ruby Wilson Susan Wolfe Gerald Wolff Mr. Barton Teacher Sandra Aftowski Sandra Axell Ruth Ann Bailey Carol Born David Bunton Muriel Casper Reuben Cravens Robert De'vereaux Marvin Diedrlch Janies Disbrow Michael Gaul Delores Gray William Hornig Kenneth Hostetler Carolyn Hunt Darral Hunt Marolyn Hunt Francis Long Barbara Moyer James Nicely Wilma Noel Norwood Nowell Fred Piotrowicz Dorothy Plotner Dennis Ramsey Janice Replogle Randall Rosenbaum James Rixie Glenn Rixie Lawrence Sharp Carol Smith Doris Smith Leonard Smith Ronald Smith Sherry Smith Constance Waul Gale Wolff Darla Axell Pamela Bauer Mary Bostick Paul Dorsey Mrs. Hunt Sponsor Jeffrey Dunk Carol Euler Nancy Evenburg Vincent Gaul Richard Hamilton David Henning Richard Hostetler Evelyn Magan Gregory Malstaff Clarence Mullins Delictia Null James Perry Barbara Rathburn Dennis Reese Carol Seitz Robert Sharp Jane Smith Diana Smith Wayne Stefano Rosemary Wood Mrs. Gustafson Teacher Robert Bradley Carol Bulla Patsy Bunch Shirley Churchill Donna Cravens Eugene Griffin Kenneth Hohalek Larry Hostetler Linda Kabowski David Krueger Howard Hagan Dennis Ness Kenneth Noel Janet Piotrowicz Lois Plotner Rebecca Robinson Linda Ryan Antoinette Sciara Lonnie Sears Jean Smith William Spence Jean Tenor Raymond Vermilyer ?
