A History Toward the last of August, 'way back in 1940, thirty and six semingly bright-looking, bewildered little kiddies came to school with their mommies, brothers, sisters, or friends. Of these little seekers of knowledge, eleven have remained together throughout their twelve years. They are: Virginia Boller, Shirley Carrington, Doyne Cooper, Richard Crosby, June Holland, Esther Kelly, Lola Pickel, Max Pickel, Charles Rady, Arlene Shuee, and Raymond Wilson. We all made it safely, except Evelyn Witt who left us, through the first grade. In the second grade, Wilma Bonifacius and Edna Harmless came to join our adventure in the world of learning, but we lost Glenn Cope. We gained four new members in our third year. They were: Dianne l-Ienley, Joan Green, Barbara Zachary and Frank Plunkett. Little did we .know that little Frank would later become a 6 ft. -4 in. senior. This year, we lost Dickie Robbins, a heartbreak to a lot of little girls. Well, it seems our 'class 'can't gain for losing. The fourth year, Wilbert Clark, Jean Green, and Wilma Bonifacius left us, but we gained James Miller, Lola Webb, Robert Abrams, and Bob Allen. Bob has remained with us through the rest of our school years. In the fifth grade, we gained two, Martha Jones and Samuel Pratt, but we lost Robert Abrams, James Miller, Barbara Zachary, Imogene Anderson, and Ina Lou Rector. At last we are the leaders of grade school. This sixth year, Virginia Gibbs left us. Nancy Huber moved from Indianapolis and joined our class. Our grade school history wouldn't be complete without mentioning the teachers who directed our study and play and to whom we are indebted for the fundamentals of our education. First of our teachers was Gladys Sutherlin, who is now teaching in Greencastle schools. Our second grade teachers was Mrs. Ruby Perkins Everman, now teaching at North Salem. In the third year, we had Mrs. Helen Hanna, now a homemaker in Roachdale. Our fourth year, the class was divided with Mrs. Hanna and Miss Verona Clampitt as our teachers. Miss Clampitt, the only one of our grade teachers still teachingin Roachdale, also directed us through our fifth gear. In the sixth grade, we had a strong and firm hand to guide us through a tough year, Mr. Eston Cooper, who taught at Roachdale 17 years. Then came the big thrill--our first year upstairs and Junior High--what a class, the largest known in our History. All additions and no losses this year. Wayne Kelly, Melvin Lanham, Virgil Asher, Betty McCloud, Don and Jim Robinson, Kenneth Moore, Roe Webb, Bob Thompson, Richard Holland, Gladys Brooks, Evelyn Witt and Eddie Thompson joined us, however, only Bob, Richard, and Gladys are among the 26 graduating Seniors. During the eighth year, we gained one new member, Sue Thompson. August 1948 rolls around. Now we are actually green Freshmen. All the Barnard Freshmen entered R.H.S. that gear. They were: Mary Eggers, James Carrington, Helen Falconbury, Silas Ronk, Larry Jones, and Marguerite Page. Evelyn Witt also rejoined our class. As confident Freshmen, we set to work. We felt ourselves a power in the school. With feverish class spirit, we enter- ed into school activities. Our part in the Halloween Carnival set us on the way to financial success. We were duly initiated and became full-fledged members of R.H.S. We achieved success in all our efforts this wonderful green year of ours. We, being young, learned fast and soon. ' f 9
