Senior '15is-torn' In the year 1941, a new first grade entered New Haven. This spring finds only two of the original class completing high school. These are Kathleen Atyeo and Esther Bauer. Our teacher was llrs. lllcox who also helped us through the second grade. In the third year we were welcomed by a new teacher, Irs. Killer. Olivia Lykins came to our class that year. le must have been much like ordinary third graders for we seem to have attracted little notice, but we did manage to pass to the fourth grade. In the fourth grade Irs. Kitchell was our teacher and two new members were added to our group-Joyce Black and Carol Fink. Hrs. McCullough helped us through the ordeal of fifth and sixth grades. New subjects were added to the curriculum and one new boy, Gilbert llatthew struggled through them with the rest of us. The 'big shots' of the sixth grade eventually became seventh graders and went upstairs to be with the junior md senior high school people. This was our first encounter with changing classes, different teachers, etc. It was a trifle confusing, but we finally made the adjustment. Irs. Smith, our adviser in the eighth grade, helped us to clear up a few of our many problems, and we felt that we were definitely ready for high school. At last came the big day: We were Freshmen at New Haven High. We were so confused by the choice of subjects offered that some of us tried to take six: Never since that first day of high school, have we been so ambitious. Carol and Ruth hurma and Bill Van Zoest cpe to us from Celeryville, and Irs. Smith as class adviser, helped us solve the problems which came with the experience of beizg high school students. lr. Bednarczuk was our class sponsor during our sophomore year. This year we increased our efforts to add to the class treasury for we began thinking in terms of junior-senior banquet and the class trip. Our junior year with lr. Bednarcauk again acting as olass adviser, was full of activities. In December, we presented our class play, Strictly Confidential which proved a 'howling' success. Everyone who saw it said that the juniors had presented a play of which they could be proud. We sold refreshments at all home basketball games thus added to our financial resources. The climax of the year was the junior-senior banquet in lay. The entire class worked long and hard, but in the beautifully decorated gym, eating the course dinner, enjoying the entertainment we had planned, end listening to the compliments of our guests, we felt it was all worth while. 'Blossom Time was a real success. Guess what, Seniors already. Why it seems like yesterday that we all started to school. Irs. Slessmn was chosen gs our sponsor for this year and she is working just as hard to make this year a success as we are. There are nine seniors-Kathleen Atieo, Esther Bauer, Joyce Black, Carol Buurma, Ruth Buurma, Carol Fink 0 lvla Lykins, Gilbert Matthews, and Bill Van Zoest who are planning with the juniors a trip ln lay. Of course, we are all looking forward to graduation with some feeling of regret, but time passes on, and we hope to make our place in the world. In the days to come, we shall look back on our days at New Haven High as the happiest days of our lives.
