.jvlidfory At the beginning of the school year of 1933-'34, Miss Flo started seven of us out on our Journey through school. There was Donna Perry Doris Fullerton T. J. Horris, Francis Forgey, Selma Leininger, Bennie Finch and Dorothy Barker, Here we mastered our abc's and learned to imitate our upper classmen. After entering the second grade we gained a new member, Frazier Goodnight. After having finished the work required of us in that room we were promoted to Miss Anna's Room. After having completed the work given us in the third grade we passed on to the fourth grade. Here Phyllislhtter and Lerene Shepherd joined us. The next year found us in the fifth grade with Miss Gillham as our instructor. After our Christmas Vacation, we returned to school to find a new member for our class. It was Herbert Waits who had come to join us. The following year found us in the sixth grade just as decided as ever to reach the top. Here Miss Hazel Moffatt helped us to attain higher ideals and to make us to want to strive to reach our goal. One promotion after another, and we finally found ourselves in the room of Miss Emily Jones. During the year that we were seventh graders Ralph Woods came to be in our class. At the end of that year we got to help the eighth grade put on their commencement program. We will remem- ber that class as the one that graduated from the eighth grade without any girls in it. ,After the completion of the school year of 1939-40 we had attained the long awaited rank of eighth graders. During that year Carroll Reynolds came to be in our class and Lorene Shepherd left. That left nine of us to graduate. They were: Herbert Waits, Ralph Woods, Bonnie Finch Selma Leininger, Dorothy Barker, Morse Groshong, Frazier Goodnight, Nike Koster, and Carroll Reynolds. The next fall found all of us entering High School except fer Horse Groshong and Frazier Goodnight. There was twenty six of us when we enrolled. They weret Cecil Karr, George Welsh, Ralph Woods, Almeta Scholes Sylvia McClellan Wendell Hutchison, Gerald McGuire, Herbert Waits, Eoyd Hauser Mike Easter, Bob Parsons Raymond Scholes, Rosalee Rutherford, Carroll Reynolds Kenneth Schmidt, Gerald Dresslaer, Bonnie Finch, J. D. Ford Rosemary Tells, Dorothy Barker Frances Alice Emery Virginia Danley, Relma Dockery, Selma Leininger, Rose Emma Carns, and Kathleen Carns. After getting acquainted with our teachers and other classmates we sailed along pretty smothly until the day we were in1ti-- ated. The sophomores didn't get initiated the year before so the senior classgot them the same time as they did us. During that year Sylvia McClellan, Mike Kester, Rosalee Rutherford, Rosemary Wells, Cecil Karr, Rose Emma Carns, and Kathleen Carns quit school or were transferred to ano her one. The next year found only sixteen of us back as sophomores. After checking up we found that Bonnie Finch, Dorothy Barker, Frances Alice Emery and Carroll Reynolds had taken on duties other places. That year we did not have many outside activities on account of the war and ra- tioned priorities. The following year we returned to S. H. S. as Juniors. This year we were fewer in number, but just a little wiser, and still very deter- mined to reach our goal. During the first part of the year we helped with the annual Halloween Carnival. Later in the year we had several dances. Then came the Junior play '0h, Aunt Jerushal' in which each one in the class displayed his acting ability. We each strove hard to make enough money in order to entertain the Seniors. In the spring we had a Spring Feastival at which we made enough money to plan a trip instead of a banquet. On April the 22nd we met at the Post Office to go to Carthage. Here we spent the day. We spent the m01'I1iI13 .111-St loaf- ing around. During the afternoon we went out to the skating rink and then went to the show that evening. This proved the last real amuse- ment we had before school was out for the year. The last day of school found us feeling more grown up than ever to think that we lhad attained our long awaited places as seniors. During the year Alice Owens, Hilda Halt, Flbfls Current, and Jack Wardin came to be in our g1aaS.
