THE ODONIAN HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1951 In the school year of 1939-40, our first grade of the Odon ele- mentary school was composed of forty-six little girls and boys. VVe were the usual type of beginners and seemed to have all sorts of difficulty in learning the names of our classmates. This was easily explained, however, as many of us had never seen each other before that time. VVe made progress through the first eight grades with only the expected difficulties, and we were sure that more than a few of our teachers developed several headaches and gray hairs because of our antics. At the conclusion of our grade school education, we partici- pated in an elementary school graduation exercise. VVe hope that the school officials were not too glad to get rid of us. VVe entered the Freshman class of the Odon-Madison Township high school in the year l947 with fifty members. This number in- cluded not only our classmates from grade school days but also new ones from Shiloh and Raglesville. We selected Mrs. Mary Jo Poin- dexter as our sponsor and elected the following officers: President, Sammy Kemp: Vice-President, joe Padgett: Secretary, Nancy Sticklesg Treasurer, Vera Miller. Our candidates in the King and Queen contest of the school carnival were lluddy lrlray and Nancy Sticlcles. Wk' were surprised, but greatly pleased to see them crowned, as our class was declared the winner. During our Sophomore year, our enrollment dropped to forty- two students. Our sponsor was Mr. Jensen and officers selected were: President, Doris Allison: vice-president, Vera Millerg secre- tary, Mary Alice Carpenter: and treasurer, Hinda Aishe. Hy the time we were Juniors there were only thirty three of us. VVe welcomed two new members, Ray Maust and Dick Streepy. Mrs. Pate was our sponsor during that year and we presented the play, Strictly Formalf' Our prom and reception for the Seniors was very successful and was an occasion we shall always be happy to keep in mind. Our class officers were: President, Bill Seneffg vice-president, Robert Manning: secretary, Hilda Aisheg and treasurer, Mary Alice Carpenter. Again our candidates, Norman Sims and Mary Alice Carpenter, were crowned the liing and Queen of the school carnival. During this year we also received our class rings. We entered the school year of 1950-Sl with thirty-one members of our group still enrolled. Our sponsor was Mr. Jensen and our officers were: President, Richard Poindexterg vice-president, Nor- man Sims: secretary, Yonda fleasleyg treasurer, Hilda Aishe, and class reporter. Rose Xlilliams. Uuring this year we lost lletty Melton, Dwight Taylor, and Mary VX'estmoreland. Our class play, Thank You. Mr. Parker was well received by an enthusiastic audience.
