--MemorieS'-' SENIOR CLASS HTSTOFY In September, 1938, LL little boys and girls Lremulouslr entered the old school building on w. Elm Street. brimming over with a thirst for knowledge but a little scared too. There we met our first teacher, Miss Inez Ayres, who soon dispelled all our fears and gave us a good start on the road to knowledge. In our third year we entered the new school building. The next five years passed very swiftly and suddenly we found ourselves in the eighth grade, practically grown up, we thought. This year was filled with activities. We had a very fine basketball team. We published an annual. We collected paper to earn money for a class trip to Indianapolis which gave a very fitting climax to our first eight years of school. The year 1?L6 saw this same little group start out on another venture in learning--high school. The year passed swiftly and successfully, in spite of predictions to the contrary. Mr. McClellan was our sponsor and Darvid Busenbark was our class president. Several members of the class, toth boys and girls, at- tended the State Latin, Alegehra, and Musical Contests. In our Sophomore year Mr. Kersey was our sponsor and Charles Clawsonn our class president. Several in the class attended the State Latin, Geometry, 314 Musical Contests, where they made fine showings. One member of our class, Den- nis Lambert, was on the first ten of the basketball team. Charles Clawson and George McMurtry were on the football team. Our junior year was a busy one. We were steered through it by our very competent sponsor, Mr. Adams, and our two presidents, Maurice Askins and Jerry Welch. We sold all kinds of things to eat at the football and basketball games and at the Halloween Festival. Several of our boys made the first ten in bask- etball and also played football. Several in the class competed in the State English and Musical thtests. Nine of our group became members of the National Honor Society. Now we are practically at the end of our journey in learning. Looking over our school years, we find that fifteen of our class of thirty-three have gone to school here all twelve years. Those fifteen are Jo Schwin, Mary Ann Stover, Joanna Hopper, Lelane Farmer, Louise Mertin, Betty Seigilin, Katherine BrittOH. Lyndall Hoopingarner, Carole Dowell, Howard Wood, Darvin Susenbark, Dennis Lambert, Jack Cooper, Bill Hamilton, Gerry Fortner. Many of us will go on to school, but others will immediately enter some business. We sincerely hope that all of us will become useful citizens in the world we are about to enter. -lh-
