History of The Class of 1960 On the morning of September lst, 1947, seventeen wide-eyed and probably quite frightened five year olds gather- ed in what is now known as the Faculty Room of the Richland Independent School to begin the first year of their formal education. This group contained the nucleous around which has grown the group which now stand at the threshold of graduation from high school and are now known as the Class of 1960. Only three of the present candidates for diplomas were present on that September morning so long ago, and a series of changes have added to and substracted from the class rolls throughout the thirteen years that have intervened. John Dayle Hinshaw, Mary Ann Robinson, and Jimmy Yoder's names graced the record book during that year in Kindergarten along with Johnny Borsdorf, Thomas Murch, Michael Pendergraft, Roger Paxson, Larry Sievers, Alice Carrlker, Linda Derby, Joyce Elmore, Donna Jeffrey, Marilyn Jeffrey, Jeanette Harbour, Judith Mason, Vickie Peterson, and Wanda Williams. Our teacher that first year was Mrs. Iola Parsons. Another member of the present class, Connie Raye Derby, joined the group as they began their First Grade in the fall of 1948. Mrs. Edith Sable was now our teacher. The class number remained at seventeen but Thomas Murch, Larry Sievers, Alice Carriker, Linda Derby, and Wanda Williams had dropped from the roll and Karen Baker, Franklin Decker, Richard Ryder, Barbara Wallerich, and Jerry Lee Greiner were added to it. As Second Graders we met in the fall of 1949 and again with Mrs. Sable as teacher and class number dropped to sixteen. Janet Hobbs, Richard Horras, Kent Robertson, Alice Kay Heald, and Janice Wlmpsett came to join us but Donna Jeffrey, Marilyn Jeffrey, Judity Mason, Michael Pendergraft, Richard Ryder, and Jerry Lee Greiner were missing from the class membership. Mrs. Lucile Kepler became our teacher as we advanced to the Third Grade in 1950. The class roll shrunk to fifteen as the names of Jim Neff, Danny Ward, and Ronnie Russel were added and those of John Borsdorf, Franklin Decker, and Alice Kay Heald were no longer found on the class record. Mrs. Kepler was again our teacher during our Fourth Grade year during which our number rose to sixteen as Larry Sivers, Twilla Watson, Sharon Watson, Peggy Thompson, and Diana Peterson came to join us while we were sorry to lose Janice Wipset, Vickie Peterson, Danny Ward, and Ronnie Russel. As we advanced to the Fifth'Grade in 1952 we were greeted by Mrs. Dorothy Barrow as teacher. Our number suffered a sharp reduction as the following members were no longer with us: Janet Hobbs, Roger Paxson, Larry Sivers, Twilla Watson, Sharon Watson, and Peggy Thompson. However, Donald Stewart'came to join us so the class roll stood at twelve, the same as that of the present graduating group. Mrs. Barrow continued as our teacher during the Sixth Grade. The class roll was reduced to nine with the transfer of Barbara Wallerich, Jim Yoder, and Donald Stewart and the addition of John McConnell. In the fall of 1954 our ego was given a big boost. We were now members of the Junior High where we now could take part in basketball and other activities and were quartered on the top floor of the building under the tutelage of Mrs. Grace Ward. No changes were made in the class enrollment as the same nine who completed the Sixth Grade continued through our Seventh Grade year. In addition to Larry Wallace, David Letts, and Barbara Wallerich who rejoined the group raised the membership to twelve as we completed our eighth grade and received our diplomas from Mr. King at the commencement exercises in the spring of 1956. With our elementary school behind us we were again reminded of that fall day in 1948 when we again appeared trembling and in anxious anticipation to begin our high school careers in the fall of 1956. Fourteen green and wide-eyed Freshmen faced the paddles of the awesome Seniors on Initiation Day but their party and welcome which followed soon put us at ease and we entered whole-heartedly into the dizzy whirl of high school activities. All of the eighth grade graduates of the previous spring were with us and Rubio sent us Milford Watson, Grace Pepper, and Karen Erwin came from the Clay Independent District and Barbara Mitchell transferred in January from Wayland. However, Barbara Wallerich and Joyce Elmore terminated their school career in mid-year to leave our number at thirteen. These thirteen all enrolled as Sophomores on September 2nd, 1957. However, Larry Wallace dropped within a week, Barbara Mitchell left in November, and Dave Letts dropped in December, but Raymond Fulton joined us in March to make our number stand at eleven. Of that group, Karen Baker failed to enroll as we began our Junior year. Larry Sipe was with us a few weeks before returning to Excelsior Springs and Jim Yoder joined us in November. We were now in the midst of all school activities and beginning to exercise leadership in some of them. The eleven students who finished the Junior year in the Spring of 1959 were all on hand when the school doors opened on August 3lst. They had been joined by Mel Maedar to round out the present class roll. During the past year we initiated the Freshman, produced the Senior Class Play, and took leading parts in music and athletic activities. We expect to be graduated one week from tonight. Our Class Trip is planned for May 21st- 23rd. We hope to be formally inducted into the Richland Alumni Association at their annual banquet on May 20th and expect in this way to continue our association with Richland High School.
