CLASS HISTORY On the fall morning of September 4, 1938, the members of the class of 1950 started to school. For our first two years the class was divided into two parts. The pupils who lived in the east end of town attended the east school building and those of the west end attended the west building. Our teachers for those years were Miss McDowell and Miss Huber at the east and west buildings respectively. In the third grade we were all together at the west building. During this year the class of 1950 was under the jurisdiction of Miss Elliott. The following year we were given our help by Miss Alice Stauffer. We were now beginning to like school, and ap- preciate the help given by our teachers. The next year physical and mental assistance was given by Miss Stechschulte. In the fol- lowing year, which was our sixth year, we were back at the east building again. Things were different down here, we didn't have any more recess periods and we weren't the upper classmen as we had been when we were in the fifth grade at the west building. We were instructed during the sixth grade by Miss Watterson and the following year by Mrs. Hellwick. fMiss Watterson got mar- riedj. junior high was different from grade school Did we think we were grown up! During our eighth year of schooling we were supervised by the very capable Miss Thrapp. This year we learned the Gettysburg Ad- dressv and The American Creed , along with many other things. The following year we were freshmen. This is the year we had all waited for. We were now in high school. During our first year of high school, we gave a party for the sophomores which they returned in the spring. Next year was even busier. We gave an Easter chapel, and St. Valentine's assembly. Our class advisor was Miss Ogle. The next year we really worked hard. We had an Easter chapel and a St. Patrick's day assembly. Our class play was entitled The Daffy Dillsv, a comedy which everyone en- joyed. Later in the year we were very busy preparing for the junior-senior banquet and dance. Our theme for this was colonial, and our theme song Forever and Everv. The dance floor was decorated with French windows and giant white pillars. Our or- chestra was Dick Ford, from Lima. We thought we were busy other years but during our senior year we had an annual to get out, also a school paper, a play to give, and many other things. We had our regular Easter chapel and a Hallowe,en assembly. Baccalaureate services were held May 28th and our commencement was May 29th. The seniors took a class trip to Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, starting May 31st, and returning home Iune 8. We saw many historical sights and much lovely scenery. The class of 1950 at this time wishes to thank all the teachers that have made our graduation possible. ..18-
