Class History In 1937, our doting mothers started us on our educational career by taking us to Miss Loose, our first grade teacher, who taught us our A, B, C's and 1, 2, 3's. We advanced in '38 to Miss Bittle, our second grade teacher, where we learned the 3R's. Miss Schell guided us through third grade, Miss Klopp, fourth, Mlss Uhrich, fifth, and finally we reached the height of our hill school career, sixth grade. Miss Gruber bade us farewell and then we were launched on a new and exciting part of our school life--junior high school. We entered junior high school with a wonderful feeling and with new hopes because we could now go to the dances and join the varlou activities. Many romances began to blossom ln eventh grade. In eighth grade we became more confident of ourselves. We knew the various rooms and we were no longer late for classes. In tenth grade we selected pennants, hats, and our class colors, blue and white. As juniors we sported flashy class rings and sponsored that gala affair-- the Junior and Senior Prom. Now we were the leaders of our school--Seniors. We had many happy tlmes in our senior year. We had worked hard but our labors were rewarded. On May 8th, we left for New York City, and after 3 wonderful days we returned to Myerstown on May 10. Class night saw us together, having fun as a class, for the last time. Finally, with tears in our eyes, we reached the highlight--graduation. We were sorry to leave you, dear Alma Mater, but happy to join the ranks of the alumni.
