CLASS HI TORY It was a birght, sunny day, as the train of Memories pulled slowly into Ross High School. Mr. Finkbine was at the throttle of the engine. The train stopped suddenly and forty-four wide-eyed freshmen started climbing excitingly from the coaches. Pullman Ridenour, later the home room teacher, was directing the students, who were new that year. Other members of the crew were: fireman, Mr. Wilson, chief cook, Miss Whitey brakeman, Mrs. Greschelg con- ductor, Mrs. Wildemang porter, Miss Storyg dining car waitresses were Miss Smith, Miss Fant, and Miss Lindsey. As we looked around us, we saw many new faces who had boarded the train at Harrison, Morgan, Tennessee, Fairfield, Hamilton, and Indiana. Those who were new were: Mary Biere, Ethel Irwin, Emogene Kimble, Marie Knuf, Barbara Morrison, Elizabeth Singleton, Glenn Barnthouse, Ted Brusaw, Gordon Butterfield, George Engel, Ed- ward Hacker, Clemens Meier, Fred Patton, James Turner, and Ray Hoelle. They became very dear friends to us. After we had been here for a while and the excitement of being in high school had quieted down, we elected of- ficers for our class. Our president was Ray Weber, Carol Siegle, treasurer, Wallace Wogenstahl, assembly committee, Pat Ryan, Geneva Lewis and June Statzer, student coucil. We had wonderful times in our first year in high school. On May 23, after the closing exercises, we once more boarded the train, looking forward to three months of summer vacation. We would return in the fall as sophomores. As we stood at the depot and heard the whistle of the train coming around the bend, we wondered how many passengers we had taken on and let off. As we entered the train we found Engineer Finkbine still at the throttle, Miss White was still chief cook, but our bottle washer was Mr. Wilson, our porter Miss Nester had married, so Miss Bryne took her place. Mrs. Greschel was still brakeman, Mrs. Wildman continued as conductor. Mr. Ridenour took over the duties of fireman, and Miss Fant changed her name to McCollum and was promoted to pullman. Miss Lindsey and Miss Smith stayed on as waitresses. We noticed several of our classmates had gotten off at various stations. Among them were Ruth Gross, Dorothy Taylor, James Butler, Walter Burke, Edward Howard, Bill Jackson, George Kramer, Charles McVey, Charles Reynolds, and James VanWinkle. New passengers were Iris Bryant, Pat Davis, Russell An- des, and Kenneth Phillips. Being sophomores we felt really grown-up. Our adviser was Mr. Ridenour. Class president was Clemens Meier: vice-president, Kenneth Phillipsg secretary, Carol Sue Siegleg treasurer, June Statzer, assembly representative, Alice Eschenbrennerq student council, Jeanette Burns and Fred Patton. As we approached our junior year and the engine puffed into Millville, Shandon, and Venice, everyone was won- dering what the year would bring forth. We found that it was to be one of the busiest years we had experienced. The old train seemed to have more spirit than ever this year. Engineer Finkbine had taken on an assistant by the name of Mr. Ittel. Our fireman, Ridenour was replaced by coach Donahue. Our porter, Miss Brynes came back as Mrs. Fryer, Miss White was Mrs. Wilson. In the middle of the year Mrs. Wilson left and Miss Etter took charge of the kitchen. The positions of the rest of the crew were the same as other years with the exception of Miss Smith who got off somewhere along the line and became Mrs. Kyle. We again lost several students. Those who had gotten off the train were Norma Frost, Audrey Noes, Elizabeth Singleton, Glenn Barnthouse, Davy Hanavan, Roy Holle, Paul Huesing, Vernon Richardson, Mary Biere, Ester Bunger, Dorance Wollery, Douglas Huls, Ted Brusaw, Bill Glaub, Ray Jamison, Pat Davis, Marie Knuf, Emerick Gross, Rob- ert Moss, and John Zimmerman. New students were Jenny Tillery and Thomas Gadd. Junior year officers were: president, Ray Weber, vice-president, Carol Sue Siegleg secretary, Earl Lakesg treas- urer, Wallace Wogenstahlg assembly committee, Verldon Campbellg student council, Edward Rice, Clemens Meier, and Pat Ryan. Mrs. Greschel was chosen as our adviser. This year held many important events for us. Our dance was held at Thanksgiving and was a great success. In April we presented Grandpa's Twin Sister. And in May came the Junior-Senior Prom at I-Iamilton's Anthony Wayne. Everyone looked forward to vacation time, but we had no sooner got used to the idea of swimming, fishing, and in general having a good time, when once more the train pulled into the station to take us back to our Alma Mater. Coming aboard, we at once saw that we had taken on new members of the crew and lost some of the old. Our assistant engineer, Mr. Ittel, was replaced by Mr. Cleaver, our fireman, Coach Donahue, was replaced by Coach Luns- ford. Our porter, Mrs. Fryer, was replaced by one of our former students, Mr. Rowland, who took over the music de- partment. Miss Etter stayed on as head of the kitchen, and Mrs. Stahl replaced Mrs. Kyle as waitress. Mrs. Greschel, Mrs. Wildman, and Miss Lindsey were still waitresses, and Mrs. McCollum stayed on as pullman. Again we lost some of our best friends. Francis Campbell, Iris Bryant, and Ed Hacker missed the train. Lois Ann Yater came back, but soon left to get married. We had two new students, Lou Ann Allen and Mary Whisman. Mary didn't stay with us very long. Later in the year a guy by the name of Chuck Bober came to us from Cleveland. Since this was our most important year, we decided to elect important officers for our class. Our president was Ralph Jarvis: vice-president, Russell Andesg secretary, Carol Sue Siegleg treasurer, Alice Eschenbrennerg assembly committee, Jeannette Burns, student council, James Turner, Earl Lakes, and Jenny Tillery. Mr. Wilson was adviser. This year certainly proved to be a very busy, but wonderful year. On November 12, we presented a very suc- cessful play, Introducin' Susan. The spring brought us much more excitement. Our annual was our most important task of all our 12 years. April 23 we had our Senior Dance. This too was a success. Then on May 13, everyone had a wonderful time at the Junior-Senior Prom. On May 14, we started on our trip for the Smoky Mountains. May 20 was class night and we had a lot of fun putting this on. Then on May 22 came Baccalaureate and finally on May 26, we walked up the aisle to receive our diplomas. As the train of Memories pulled slowly away from Ross, 36 seniors looked back for the last time to their old Alma Mater and remembered all of the fun they had as students at Ross.
