Q 1 E11 5 5 255 G 51 LU The Class of 19143 entered Morley School with ten pupils they were: Dorothy haute John Brokaw Gene Eldred Judith Filter Robert Gerjets Janice Parks Larry Stingley Nancy Jayne Keith Vernon Opal Clary Our first grade teacher was Mrs. Oldfield. During our second grade we lost Robert Gerjets, Larry Stinley, Nancy Jayne and Opal Clary but before the year closed we had gained Merlin and Viola Hofflnan, so our class still had sight pupils with hrs. Oldfield as our teacher. In the fall of 191414 we found ourselves in a different roan and a new teacher, Frances Smith. We had one new third grader, Ervin Welle, so our class now numbered only seven for we lost Janice Parks and Judy Filter. During our fourth year of school with Frances Smith still our teacher we hit an all time record for we gained five new pupils in l9h6, they were Junior Gerdss, Jimmy Tallman, Lonnie Hinrichsen, Janet Siver and Douglas Lessand. Now our total was twelve. In the fall of 19147 we found ourselves upstairs in the fifth grade. Our teacher was Mrs. Berger with an enrollment of thirteen for La Donna Laurence had joined our group. before too long we lost Douglas Lessard but gained Gerry Hermann so our class still held its number. The fall of 19148 found us in sixth grade only to lose Merlin and Viola Hoffman, Ervin Wells and Jerry Horrman. Their places were soon to be filled by Jerry Pearson, Dorothy Lewis and Keith Techau. We began our seventh grade work under the supervision of three teachers, because of the combining of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Our teachers were hr. Hddout, Miss Ament and Mrs. Barger. We had in our class eleven pupils who remained together until March when we lost Jerry Pearson, Keith Techau and Dorothy Lewis leaving us with eight to start our eighth grade. In the fall of 1950 we were suprised to have bob Head and Clorene McCormick boast our enrollment to ten by moving to Morley. More surprises followed during our third week of school when Clara Pillard, Allen Eden and Sandra Joslin joined our group, now we had a real bakers dozen for we numbered thirteen. We wersn't at all superstitious but at the sane time thirteen is often an unlucky number so we welcombed with open arms Gladys Swartz who joined our group during our third six weeks. Now we had fourteen, the largest enrollment in our eight years, consisting of eight boys and six girls nan ely.
