 Blasting Of( In 1948 fifteen space men started first grade at South New Berlin. They were: Sally Powell, Doris Olson, Pat Wood, Norma Jensen, Katherine Davis, Gail McGuire, Anne Ford, Deanna Sisson, Virginia Thomsen, Dave Christian, Harvey Deforest, Clifford Palmeter, Billy Thomsen, Billy Morgan, Clarence Beadle, and Philip May. As the space men reached second grade there was an addition of one boy and a girl. We had lost two boys. On the third trip in our ship we gained three girls and one boy. We lost only one child on this trip. By the time we had reached the fourth grade we were really flying high. This year we gained a boy and a girl. We lost three passengers; two girls and a boy. The fifth and sixth grades were much the same as the first four, gaining a few and losing a few students. The space men go on trying to prove to the teachers that they are the best group they ever had. Entering Junior High School we really felt we had accomplished something. We were joined that year by Springvale. The kids from there were: Arlene Jones, Bill Wightman, Jack Loeffler, Rachel Hadlock, Gary Cummings, Mary Tyler, Ken Jones, Jim Arnold, Dave Smith and Joan Murray. The following joined our group this same year but they did not live in the Springvale district: Bob Baldwin, Carol Pittsley, Edwin Clark, and Betty Binelli. We had twenty-seven in our class this year. In the eighth grade everyone was working hard so that we could pass our first regents. We were joined by two boys that year. In June we had our eighth grade graduation exercises. We practiced for weeks ahead of time and I am sure none of us will ever forget it. Blasting off for high school; all aboard! ! Twenty-nine started in the Freshman year. Here they are: Gail McGuire, Anne Ford, Mary Tyler, Pat Sisson, Bill Morgan, Roy Parker, Dave Smith, Ken Jones, Bob Baldwin, John Robinson, Betty Binelli, Joan Murray, Arlene Jones, Sally Powell, Catherine Noll, Barb Weidman, Norma Jensen, Doris Olson, Pat Wood, Rachel Hadlock, Jack Loeffler, Gary Cummings, Bill Wightman, Dave Christian, Kay Colton, Bob Diamond, and Jeff Miles. The Sophomore year in high school our class was joined by Dick Zeidner, Harroll Ledford and Peggy Hoffman. We lost six of our members. Our Junior year we were really riding high. We lost nine and gained none. Our big event of the year was the Junior Prom. The Queen was Pat Wood and the King was Bob Baldwin. Now that our space ship is ready for its final trip we have a very select crew. There are fifteen of us. Bill Rathmell joined us and we lost two girls and one boy. Mr. Rappleyea is our class advisor. We are all working hard to get money for our Senior trip. We wish to thank everyone; parents, teachers and friends who have helped us on our way.
