CLASS HISTORY Our first day of school-a big day in anyone's life. The school building was so big, the halls so noisy, and the teachers so much to be feared. As we entered the room and our hearts finally began to thaw, we became accustomed to the routine which was to become so familiar to us through our twelve years of school. We did not enter the first grade with our full crew aboardg however, there are several classmates who have been together for twelve years. In the first grade, our class had a merry-go4round. Everyone had a lot of fun on it, even the ones who received torn dresses or trousers. In the second grade we were favored with a little house, which we built with some outside help. The girls made original wallpaper and did other decorating. The boys did the more strenuous work. It was during this year that we were honored with the appearance of john Burkholder, who was to stick with us, and lead us through our last year. One of the most outstanding events in the third grade, was our pet show. Almost everyone brought an animal, and the pupils from other grades enjoyed it nearly as much as we did. After three years of school, things began to seein routine, and we didn't notice much difference until we reached Junior High. During this time, however, we made several additions to our class. ln the fourth year, Laura Spencer and Charles janosik joined us. ln the fifth grade Doris Clingerman became a part of our family, and Nettie Davis in the sixth. Our class was no exception to the rule when it came to being awed by the idea of changing classes. lt was a novel idea and we enjoyed it. jack Miller and Bill Collins both came to Lima to help fill in the empty spaces. lt was in the eighth grade that we really began to look forward to high school, lt was nearly our turn to make our school famous. Thayer Bro-wn came this year: decided he liked itg and stayed on to the finish. Finally we were in high school. Will wonders never cease? This was our first year to join the musical groups and the various activities. Our So homore ea.r was the one durin 'which we sold ma azines. How could P Y . 3 . . . 3 anybody forget that! We were really in the swing of things now, and were mak- ing our places permanent. We entered our unior ear full of lans and activities. After buildin u . . . V P . g . P our Ireasury with several successful paper drives, a class play, and a skating party, we decided to spend a little of it. We sponsored a banquet for the Seniors. Our ex Jenses were realized man times over in en'o ment. Y J Y We were really moving up now. The cafeteria line wasn't so far ahead any IIIOYC. . Eileen Riley and Esther Osterling made their last minute appearances at this tlllle. Our class would have been complete in our last year had not Maxine Smith and Richard Bartholomew left us to be married. Although we miss them, we are filling in the gap nicely. At last our school days were at an end, and for the first time since we entered the first grade, we felt lost in North Lima High School. We had learned what there was to learn, and were setting out to complete our lives. Our school has made a deep impression on us and we shall not soon forget it. Carole june Roller PAGE NINETEEN
