So Uhat U)e (Day ‘Remember - - The days when we were in the first grade. Twelve august seniors were once timid beginners with Mildred Cochran as teacher, in the present first grade room. They were as follows: Barbara Briggs, Jerry Cornwell, Myrtle Davis, Patricia Dunk, Betty Eller, Wayne Gochenour, Virginia Long, Marjoree Moore, Dewey Pritsch, Charles Yoder, John McDaniels, and Howard McGill. Barbara Briggs left the group in two weeks, but Helen Buck transferred from Buck Creek to compensate for the loss. Other fellow classmates in the grades were Phyllis Conrad, Shirley Hughes, Shirley Sut- er, Dana Branson, John Gaylor, Tom Skiles, Ronald Gaylor, Kenneth Bowerman, and Marjorie Huf- fer (first grade); Eugene Smith, Mary Jo Evans, Dick Evans, Jay Delp, Virginia Bougher, Harold Williams and Rosella Clawson (second grade); Reba Lampkin (third); and Billy Joe Crider, Donald Vinard, and Edwin Colliver (fourth). Now that I am older, I wonder why one or two of us were always sitting on the benches in the hall. It must have been that they were warmer than our seats in the class room. As we continued through school, we gained new class members. In our second year Carolyn Mull transferred from Wea and Maribelle Crow came from Beard; the fifth year Kenneth Bieseck- er from Michigantown and Richard Reavis from Little Jeff; the seventh year Donald Pritchard en- rolled from Little Jeff and Jim Reed from Owen township. Our class roll increased our freshman year when the following transferred from Owen: Barbara Briggs, Martha Ticen, Shirley Carlyle, Norman Lee, Ann Kemmerer, John Kemmerer, Arlene Timmons, Phyllis Smart, Harold Smart, Lelah Unger, Melvin Unger, Max Kressley, Gerald Wilkins, and Steven Shaffer,- from Pyrmont, Carolyn Pearson and Leroy Holsinger,- from Owasco, Donald Hufford, Helen Kemmer, and Phyllis Rule. During our freshman year Leona Moore came to join us from Wabash and Jim Garrison from Chicago; Harley Miller from Lapel, Charles Miller from Monitor, and Jim Hopper from Morrison- ville, Illinois, became members of our class as sophomores; Margaret Cripe from Cerro Gordo, Illi- nois, became a member as a junior; and Jim Tharp enrolled from Darlington as a member of our present senior class. The classmates that we lost during high school were: Doris Shively, Dorothy Shively, Leroy Holsinger, Richard Reavis, Leona Moore, Maribelle Crow, Ann Kemmerer, John Kemmerer, Don- ald Hufford, Helen Kemmer, Jim Reed, Steven Shaffer, Arlene Timmons, Harold Smart, Phyllis Smart, Jim Hopper, and Jim Garrison, but twenty-eight of the group won the coveted diploma. Barbara Briggs transferred to Flora at the end of the first semester. As juniors taking American history, we were very fortunate to have with us, Hubert Hutch- ing, a German youth. He had many very interesting comments about our way of living. Our class officers and sponsors were: freshman—sponsor, Mr. Fox; president, Steven Shaffer; vice president, Donald Hufford; secretary, Leroy Holsinger; treasurer, Marjoree Moore; sophomore —sponsor, Mr. Montgomery; president, Norman Lee; vice president, Jerry Cornwell; secretary, Barbara Briggs; treasurer, Gerald Wilkins; junior—sponsors, Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Rodkey; presi- dent, Jerry Cornwell; vice president, Gerald Wilkins; secretary, Phyllis Rule; and treasurer, How- ard McGill. Yes, we record this so that we may remember the names of our fellow students, but more than just names, our class meetings or rather arguments, our efforts as salesmen, our paper driv- es, and our class plays.
