THRGUGH THE YEARS Kindergarten was the most thrilling grade for the girls of the class of '56, because that was the year the Lee Romeo Dunbar tackled and kissed each girl one by one. One thing that kept him in such good shape was that we had to take naps before every recess. That was also the year that Phil Kesler was discouraged from following a career of con- struction because his thumb was a repeated casualty at our toy tool bench. We all envied Brenda Burris for living so closely to our class room. It was a long time before we found out that she was just waiting for her mother at the home economics cottage. All in all kinder- garten was a lot of fun for the students, but poor Mrs. Woody was never the same again. In the first grade we had Gary Romeo Currier with us. He sat in front of Deanna Taylor and kept turning around and kissing her hands, but Deanna knew how to take care of herself. She hauled off and hit him with her pencil so hard that the lead stuck in his back. However, Lee was not about to lose his title for Jeaninne Kleck kept falling down on the ice so that he would pick her up. By far the most outstanding social event of the year was the Tom Thumb wedding with Violet Maddock acting as the blushing bride. In the second grade Bob Merrill develop- ed a liking for travel, but it was all in one di- rection--to Mr. Welch's office. The budding artists in our midst-Brenda Burris, Janet Rupp, Jeaninne Kleck, Carolyn Daily, and Deanna Taylor decided that the school build- ing needed redecorating so they covered it with chalk and crayons. However, their artis- tic fervor waned when they had to sandpaper it off the next day. April Fool's Day was a big time in Jeaninne Kleckls life for she got to put an egg Chard-boiled! on the teacher's chair. Poor Miss Rupp!! The list of Romeos seemed to be growing. In the third grade Phil Kesler got paddled for chasing the girls. Alice Sharpe started taking violin lessons that year and Miss Clifton al- ways wanted her to play a solo, but much to the class's relief she always declined. Janet Rupp's artistic talent was not eas- ily discouraged for in the fourth grade she not only industriously carved a sailboat on her desk, but also colored it red. That work of art could only be created by a mastermind! This really set Miss Lenhart back on her heels. Vio- let Madock desiring some unusual entertain- ment put a wad of paper down Lonnie Hen- ricks' back. She was greatly entertained! For punishment she had to stand in front of the room all afternoon and stay after school to make up the work she missed. Miss Lenhart was constantly telling us that if we were go- ing to act like babies, we would be treated as babies. One day, much to our surprise, she brought to school a baby bottle and a rattle. From then on, to avoid sitting in front of the class holding the baby bottle and rattle, we were very well behaved. Mrs. Beatty suffered with us in the Fifth Grade. In the sixth grade we were honored with the presence of students from Brailey, Utah , and Raker Schools. Our operetta was Peter Picker's Plight. In the spring, Jean Schmid- lin was elected May Queen. Phil Kesler was up to his old tricks again. This time he caused Janice Norris to stand out in the hall for one- half hour when he informed Mrs. Lindhorst that she had cracked her bubble gum. Mrs. Krieger was the other unlucky teacher this year. Good ole Phil! He always relieved the monotony. In the seventh grade he got paddl- ed for shooting Bill Hite in the back of the head with a squirt gun. The high-light of our year was the seventh and eighth grade party. For recreation the girls danced and the boys sat on the sidelines and watched. Miss Schnug and Mr. Meszaros had to cope with us that year. We really started the eighth grade off with a bang. Our class was so loaded with tal- ent that we decided to put on a minstrel show. Stan Basich, Harold Leupp, Harold Rettstatt, Devon Kissel, Phil Kesler, and Kenny Bell were the only casualties of the performance. They burned their faces with the strong soap which they used to wash their black maker? off and Nurse Kipp had to come over to scho- ol and see what had caused it. Our girlsf soft- ball team received quite a blow when they traveled to York to play and really got skunk- ed. No wonder--Sandy Barker was York's pit- cher! At our seventh and eighth grade party we had cider and doughnuts. This year while the girls danced, the boys played ping pong. Mr. Cottle tried to chaperon us that year. Kenny Dohm was the play-boy our fresh- man year. He got into trouble for putting itch- ing powder on Larry Favorite. All of the ac-
