CLASS HISTORY . . It was a beautiful bright Fall day in September, 1936, when Helen Abel, Hazel Baker, Phyllis Farnsworth, Ruth Ogden, Mary Ruggles and Gayle Walborn packed their new Jumbo tablets and bright, shiny pencils and tripped gaily up Shortsville's Main Street. At last the day we had been looking forward to had come . . our first day in Kindergarten. Waiting to greet us in the lower hall was Miss Shortall, who was just beginning her first year at SHS, too. Somehow we managed to struggle through Kindergarten and on up to First Grade and Miss Shaw. The outstanding highlight of this year was our five-piece band composed of tambourine, cymbals, drums, a triangle and Miss Shaw at the piano. In the Second Grade, we added a new member to our class, that shy, brown-eyed Miss June Bullock, and also Dick Record. This year Miss Gartland taught us how to read whole sen- tences at a time and how much 2 and 2 were. Dolores Carney joined us in Third Grade and Miss Dunning's ex- pert training moved us up to Fourth Grade, with Mrs. Cooley now taking over. This time we again added some new members . . Doro- thy DeVries and Elna McCarthy. Louis Proper picked up with our class in Fifth Grade and then Miss Gregg ,promoted all of us on to Sixth Grade. This year marked our downfall. Fractions! But thru some miracle, we finally managed to reach Junior High. These two years we had Miss Ellis and Mrs. Clark, who prepared us for High School. While in Seventh Grade, Grace Still joined our class. Our Freshman year sped by and before we knew it, we were Soph- omores. And this year Ed Lauck, Gordon Christiansen and Warren Weitzel came into our class. The big event of our Junior year was our Junior Prom. Then the time we had all looked forward to . . we were Seniors. Our Senior year got off with a bang, with our magazine campaign. Ed Lauck left to join the Navy. The next big event of the year was our Night Club, held on March ll. This proved a big success. April was our biggest month. First calme the Senior play and then our long-awaited trip to New York City. At the writing of this article, we are making plans for our Senior Ball and Commencement exer- cises. On June 26, 1949, the fifteen members of the Senior Class will bid farewell to SHS . . with memories of thirteen wonderful years still in their minds. -231
