CLASS HISTORY In early fall of September, 1939, the class of 1951 started to school. During the iirst two years, the grades were divided into two groups. Those living in the east attended the East Building while those in the west, went to the West Building. There are only 7 members of the class who have gone to the Ottawa Public Schools for their 12 years. They are: Donna F undum, Doris Fought, Betty Hazelton, Carol Douglas, Mary Anne Weisenberger, John Schimmoller, and jack Schierloh. ' When the third year began, both groups were at the West Building. Our fourth and fifth grades were quite large, however, many later dropped out and moved away. Our sixth year of school started at the East Building where We were under the supervision of Miss Watterson, now Mrs. Helwick. Entering junior-high made us seem quite grown up. Our teacher was Miss Alta Thrapp. Our freshman year, long waited for, was a thrill to enter. Finally in high- school, we were able to choose our activities and subjects. The sophomore year started with our class trying to build up our treasury. Then we lost a school pal, Bonnie, when she died in a fire at her home. Of course, every junior year starts with everyone busy as bees. We presented our class play, The Girl With Two Faces , in November. Then we began work- ing on the prom in the spring of the year. The theme of our prom was Some Enchanted Eveningf, It was made to look like a walled garden with a border- ing brook. We were in the senior year now and were we excited. Individual graduation pictures were taken. We presented our class play It,s A Date on December 8. Then work on the annual started with everyone participating. Two class projects, a bake sale and a paper drive, were undertaken to raise money for the class trip. Baccalaureate services were held May 27th at the Presbyterian Church. The next night we had our commencement exercises at the auditorium. These two events ended our school activities. -18..
