Class History Lately we have been thinking back over the twelve years we've spent attending Salisbury Grade School and High School. There were happy years as well as discouraging ones and we feel that we owe a great deal of thanks to our parents and teachers who urged us onward and tolerated us through these long and often trying years. In 1946 eight eager children started to kindergarten under the guidance of Miss Fannie. They were Anna Mae Burgess, Patricia Bryan, James W. Cruse, Ruth Ann Gebhardt, Gerald Laker, Mickey McGraw, Barbara Means, and Norma Lou Spellman. Later the same year, Barbara Means moved to Salisbury. In the fall of 1947, twenty new faces were added and we thought we were real important. The new pupils were: Kenneth Billue, Marvin Case, Carol Coy, Betty Ann Cruse, Beverly Drew, Bonnie Engle, Gerald Goins, Lowell Greening, Ann Jarvis, Donald Johnson, Judy Loth, Amy Meyers, Betty Moore, Donna Nickerson, Roy Pegelow, Frances Rasmussen, Beulah Williams, Rita Winn, Charlotte Woolridge, and Ralph Woolridge. Again our teacher was Miss Fannie. We lost Beulah Williams. September, 1948, found us all back to school ready for the second grade. Our teacher was Miss Rosalie. We had gained Earline Boggs, Bobby Brubeck, and Larry Moore. Later during the year we lost Amy Meyer, Patricia Bryan, and Bobby Brubeck. Our third grade teacher was Mrs. Bahr and there was an enrollment of twenty-two. We were joined by Catherine Bloss, Velma Cooper, and Jim Vallee. In 1950, we were really growing up. Our teacher was Mrs. Effle Lou Smith and eight new pupils were added. They were: Velma Britt, Bobby Brubeck, Mary Ellen Friesz, Howard Gebhardt, Phyllis Harlow, Jim Kothe, Ronald Lusby, and Janice Nichols. During the term. Bob Brubeck and Howard Gebhardt moved away. Mr. Keven White was our fifth grade teacher in 1951. We were Joined by James Bagby, Peggy Blacksmith, Barbara Fletcher, Barbara Holbrook, Roberta Minks, Beulah Williams, and Larry Weiseman. This time our teacher quit and decided to Join with Uncle Sam and his boys. Mrs. L. B. Vaughn finished out the term. By the time we were in the sixth grade in 1952, we were really aetting biq heads. This was the first time we got to change classes when the bell rang. Our home room teacher was Mrs. Farthing Mrs. Kressig and Mrs. Vance were our other teachers. This year we were Joined by Gay Lee Bush, Meta Faye Dugan, Richard Fry, Bobby Fulkerson, Mary Kaye Hilt, and Victor McGee. In the seventh grade there were a lot of new faces—Temple Ammon, Peggy Blacksmith, Bobby Brubeck, Carolyn Buffington, Nina Cambell, Linda Clayburg, Wilford Eastin, Deam Hammons, Georgia Harmon, Kent Harmon, Eldon Pentod, Judith Powell, Tommy Scott, Robert Still, and Kathryn Wilkey. We lost Peggy Blacksmith, Catherine Bloss, Bob Brubeck, Nina Cambell, Bonnie Engle, Dean Hammons, Mary Kaye Hilt, Gerald Laker, Gay Lee Bush, and Robert Still. Nlneteen-fifty-five was the big year. Soon we would be starting to high school. Our eighth grade teacher was Mrs. Vance and there was an enrollment of forty in the class. We gained Bobby Brubeck, David Drew, Lavelle Henderson, Lyndon Phillips, Buddie Pippin, Linda Kaye Ratliff, and Bobby Widdicombe. Later that year Bobby Brubeck, Gerald Goins, and Bobby Widdicombe moved from Salisbury. A short while after graduation we learned that Temple Ammon had passed away as a result of a long illness. In the fall of 1955, we entered High School; had to go through the torture of initiation, and it seemed that our nickname, the Green Freshmen, was really suited to us. We found that during the summer, we had lost David Drew, Buddie Pippin, Tommy Scott, and Beulah Williams, but had gained—Peggy Blacksmith, Donna Branstuder, Doris Crawford, and Sonny McSparren. During the term, Doris Crawford left. By 1956 we were beginning to get acquainted with our school. This year Wilford Eastin was missing. New faces were—Clarence Arnold, Gilbert Hayes, Robert Kleinmeyer, Raymond Miller, John E. Page, and Eugene Welch. Judy Matthews Joined us later on. Nine teen-fifty-seven found us back to the old grind again, but we had lost four of our former classmates—Peggy Blacksmith, Anna Mae Burgess, Petie Cruse, and Judy Matthews. Additions were Carolyn Freese and Lucy Vaughn. Judy Matthews came and left during the term. We also lost Carol Coy. At last we have reached our highest goal of becoming Sophisticated Seniors. During the summer we lost Donna Woolridge. Donna Branstuder walked down the aisle to become Mrs. Eagan and through a correspondence course, plans to graduate with us. Three pupils that went to Kindergarten in Salisbury are graduating—Ruth Gebhardt, Mickey McGraw, and Norma Spellman and out of the first grade, seven are graduating. They are Kenneth Billue, Marvin Case, Betty Cruse, Donald Johnson, Judy Loth, Frances Rasmussen, and Rita Winn. We hope the students that follow us have as much fun, as well as education, as we have had and want them to keep the colors of the Purple and the Gold shining brightly, always.
