HISTORY OF THE CLASS CF 1940 by Grace Braun and Marjorie Boo While ru maging through the Saline Library, we found this antiquated moth-eaten volume of events dating back nearly to prehistoric times. To be exact, the year was 1928. In those ancient times, the inhabitants of that age fthe definite geo raphical location in rather vague, as maps change daily? were just learning the art of writing. Here on page lll is an item which might be of interest: nln answer to the call of the old school bell came the following who are still with the class today: Luella Alber, Marjorie Boettger, Helen Bredernitz, Grace Braun, Mildred Day, Ruth Hartman, Margaret Merriman, Ruth Schleh, Wesley Steiner, and William Tower. The class started under Miss McQueen in the Jones Building on West McKay Street. CAt that time there was no kindergartenl. The second grade found the class installed in the old school building. Mrs. Ambrose Ernst, the teacher, found considerable trouble in keeping down the excitement caused by th? sgeam shovels andggkunrequipment used for the build- ngco t e new school. In 1930, the new school building was moved into with due ceremony--the cornerstone was laid in the rain. Tha: year Betty Layher waz added to the third grade, and Mrs. r ur u z was teac er. .In the fourth grade Margaret Lewis joined the ranks which were led by Miss Morden. H b VTheh:igth grade was tagght by Miss Esther Bowen, and aug ecame a mem er. Now we have come to the end of the Ancient History, and will begin at the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages con- stitute ghg middlg'portion of man's known history, char- ac er ze y you s aggressiveness. t hnThefti:e wastghe year 1933. Mrs. Hutzel was the eac er o e S x grade. In 1934 the seventh grade boasted the addition of Jeannette Clay and Betty Jo Thomas. Having classes Wupstairsn was a novelty that soon wore off. Teachers were Miss Bray, Miss Sisson, and Mrs. Kuebler. In the eighth grade, Ruth Tenant joined the class, and Mr. Gettil,nMr. Maywood, and Miss Small joined the eac ng s e , Thus closes the medieval times. The third chapter is the modern Age. During this age SSS class strived for culture and social development. Page , quo e: NReaching the ninth grade, the class greeted ten new members who came from various places, most of them from ' country schools. Thev were Edwin Barnard, Ellen Feldkgmp, Genevieve Gilbert, Elton Hieber, Vilma Kuebler Lois Klager, ahggon Klager, Walter MacArthur, Marilyn Schill, and Wilma e r.

Initiation by the mighty seniors really made full- fledged high school members of the Freshmen. Miss Small, wh who taught music, left that year. Whe had directed with success an operetta entitled USome Rainy Dayu, in which most of the high school members took part. Jeannette Clay was president of the ninth grade. This year we further advanced our development by being the first class in this school to have the opportunity of taking Home Economics and Shop. Mrs. Washburn became the much welcomed Economics teacher. Burl Bassett became a new member of the tenth grade. Miss Feller acted as class advisor with Theron Klager as president. Ruth Schleh brought honor to the Sophomore Class by winning the annual declamation contests By that time Marilyn Schill was known as the school pianist and has con- tinued in that role doing exceptionally well. John Baker Arlene Lange, Anne Liska, Jean Taylor, and Bob Rogers swelled the number in the eleventh grade. Har- lan Dicks was chosen for president. Mrs. Dinelly became the new music teacher and she also taught high school art,' which hadn't been taught in this school for several years. Mr. Fransico taught Shop and Chemistry. The oratorical con- test of 1939 was won by Ruth Schleh, her second distinction in public speaking. She also won the award for fine acting ability, which she showed in the Junior play, WDon't Ever Grow Up.N The play was a success, with Mrs. Lee, the Speech teacher, directing it. The outstanding social event of the year was, of course, the J-Hop. After many conferences with Mrs. Washburn and many hours of back-breaking work, the gymnasium was transformed to resemble a Mexican Hacienda. This idea was carried out in programs and place-cards, also. Several other parties were given during the year in order to make more money for the class. nygw the Juniors became the high !': mighty Seniors, trying to avoid the dreaded disease Hsenioritis' and choos- ing for their motto, nNot Finished, Just Begunn. New mem- bers of the class were Gertrude Marken and Carl Crothersg Bob Vaughn was president and Mr. H. Jewell, sponsor. No unemployment marked ghig last busy ear. Miss Deverna, Mr. O'Bradovich and Mr. Burgess, who took the place of Mr. C. A. Jewell, were new instructors. Mr. Fuller be- came the new coach and athletics was practiced on a much wider scale. There were many victories this year in foot- ball, basketball, baseball, track, and tennis. Those sen- iors who were and are outstanding in athletics include Wesley Stiener, Walter MacArthur, Bob Vaughn, Edwin Barnard, Theron Klager, William Tower, Burl Bassett, and Elton Hieber Walter MacArthur, co-captain of the track team, helped toudn a gold trophy, which is rem rkahle because this is the first year this school has had traci, The senior play NA Rainy Day. was also a success with Marilyn Schill, Wilma Kuebler, William Tower, Bob Vaughn, Eddie Barnard, and Helen Bredernitz having the important parts.
