The crowds pressed forward around one particularly attractive float and we saw a police-woman vainly struggling to keep them back. Hester Allison, top police-woman, was always on her job. A plane buzzed the crowd and stampeded a wagon. Later we learned that the pilot was Albert Kratzberg who flew planes just like he drove cars. At last the celebration was over and as Idalene and I headed home, we saw a street-cleaner sweeping up the debris. We were too ired tolbe sur- prised when we learned that it waal Minnie Sedivy Hollinger. 7041 At last we were home and as Idalene and I slipped our shoes oii and gave our poor, tired feet a chance to relax, we compared notes and discovered that we had seen all our old classmates that day. After a light supper we fell into bed and dropped off to sleep to dream of the good ol' days at Notus High. Idalene Ivie Miriam Iverson Glass istury In the month of September l9h2 six of the present graduating classgvelma Olson, Jess Marchbanks, Qgayle Talkington? Patsy McGuiref Jane Javaux, and Darlene Attebergy enrolled in the first grade of Notus, under the direction of Miss Crandall. we no sooner learned that B came before C than Robert Farm r from Ten Davis joined us. In the second grade with Miss Burtch as our teacher we added Hester Allison from Caldwell, Albert Kratzberg from Kuna, and Miriam Iverson and Idalene ivfe who were promoted from the first grade. With Mrs. Small as our teacher for the third grade we were furthur enlarged by the admittance of Quentin Markwell of Caldwell. Our fourth year found us divided with Mrs. Breshears and Mrs. Van Slyke as our teachers. That year we welcomedflrene Sedi!i'from Monmouth, Oregong Carolyn Stettler from Roy, Utahg and Albert Kratzber who had left u in the second grade to go to Ten Davis rejoined us. With the addition ofihinnie Sedigy from Monmouth, Oregon, and Maxine Brown from Wilder, Mrs. Van Slyke calmly led us through our fractions in the fifth grade. Having no further entries, we were taught by Mrs. Don- nely in the sixth grade. Under the direction of Mrs. Evans, our seventh grade teacher, we welcomed Duane Shinn from Nyssa and Vada Young irom Ten Davis. Then we reached our' final year of grade school with high school to look forward to, and Mr. Holmes as our teacher. The highlights of our grade school career were sponsoring and being placed second in a scholastic contest and beinglnnored at a basketball banquet forplacing second in the tournament. We were admitted into UHigh Schooln in the fall of 1950 with John Downer and Jack Buettgenbach as our class advisors. This year our class enjoyed the admittance of Paul Boatman and Bay Bethel of Red Top, Jean Cooper from Nyssa, and gada Yogng who rejoined us from Ten Davis. The big events of the Fresh- man year were class day when we went to Ferncroft and being initiated by the Soph mores at a party where we had to wear a cowboy outfit WBackwards!N In our Sophomore year we thoroughly enjoyed giving the UFreshmenn their initiation party with our class advisor, Mrs. Provost. For our class day we went to Black Canyon Dam for a picnic and later went swimming at Royston's. In our Junior year we presented our special Junior play called WSusie the Sirenn with Mrs. Clarke as our play director. Then we held our Junior- Senior Banquet with 'Oriental Gardensn the theme. Our new members this year were Kal Barfuss of Middleton and Lauretta Puckettlfrom Greenleaf. We finally received our class rings, which we EII thought were much nicer than the Seniors'. As we finish our l2th and final year of highschool, we are very proud to have Bill Smyser from New Plymouth join us. Our four main events of the year were, of course, Commencement, our Senior Sneak with Mr. Lane as our advisor, the Senior play, WRest Assuredu with Mr. Buettgenbach as our director, and the banquet given in our honor by the Junior class with the theme of uHarbor Lights.N Things such as these will linger in our memories and remind us of Notus for a long, long, long time. Perhaps forever. Yelma Olson Jess Marchbanks - a.- h
