CLASS HISTOH fa.. Q L s I ' On a bright sunny day on September 5, 1952 thirty-one eager, open-eyed children faced their new teacher, Miss Florence Gittlh- ger for thelr first day of learning. Of the thirty-one, eleven of the original class remained to graduate in 1945, namelygE11se Bultenwerf, Joan Dewlt, Cecil Fifer, Clarence Gilbert, John Barry Kane, Lowell McFadden, Lawrence McFadden, Keith McFadden, Harold Robe ts, Harold Timmons and Raymond Steenhoek.
