CLASS HISTORY by Cynthis Crowson In the year 192S, thirty seven youngsters found their way through the dark basement to the first grade room. It was Miss Louise Toon's first year as a teacher so she was a little bit nervous also. During this year she became Mrs. Troy Stinson. Later in this year the Blue Mound School burned and we shared our room with students from that school. The 1940 Seniors who were in that group'are Leroy Brown, Cynthia Crov son, Walter Lee Jones, Catherine Flowers, and Franklin Landers. In the second grade we felt we wore getting quite learned when we began learning how to punc- tuate sentences. Our teacher was Miss Eloise Stubbs who is now Mrs. Ross Larsen. Frank Lee Terrill from Oklahoma joined us this year. We reached the third grade and were finally moved up-stairs. After this move we felt almost grown up. Every day at recess we ate graham crackers and drank milk which we had brought that morning. Alta Faye Williams from Oklahoma joined us this year. Mrs. Dewey Minick was our teacher. In the fourth grade we were frightened at the idea of taking mid-term and final examinations. However Miss Elizabeth Meek helped us over this milestone and we went on our way. In the fifth grade we were allowed to parti- cipate in Interscholastic League events. Miss Ruth Ward was our teacher and all of us had rather have been punished most severely than to have received a disapproving look from her. We were joined by Bernice Waide from Ooodview and Lillian Frances Gentle. In the sixth grade we gained our knowledge from Mrs. Burroughs. We had quite a large number of hardships this year. Leroy seemed always to be in trouble. Several romances began this year too.

Cearley, Junior Bryant and Earl Will: During March of this year our happiness was darkened by the sad death of one of our dear class- mates, Lillian Frances Gentle. We considered her one of our most'loyal members. Few children have the kind, sweet, and loving disposition she pos- sessed and all of us were grieved by her death. Finally we were about to reach one-of our goals, high school. In our new clothes, on a beautiful night, we graduated and received our diplomas tied v ith pink and blue ribbons, our class colors.
