I n CLASS HISTORY - It was a sunny and e very happy day for some lit- tle kids as we wandered up the hill or climbed out of the school bus. 0ur teacher introduced herself as Miss Edythe Babington, while we sat in seats next to our best friends, Our first year of education began with Leonard Appel, Buddly Dalton, Effie and Jim Davis, Don Evans, Ronnie Davis, Kaye Hoskins, Beverly Lishman, Beverly Wilkins, Beverly Macumber, Edward, Edwin, and Loretta Kear, Barbara McDonald, Russell Hediaris, Donna Osborne, Janis Ross, Gerry Schultz, Roland Spain, Donald Turnmire, and Dorothy Engelbrecht. After what seemed to be a very long vacation, for we still Liked school then, we returned to the same room, now in the second grade, under the leadership of Miss Babington, who.became Mrs. Furrh. This is the year we all got chicken pox and we came back to school to see who had the most scars from them. Upon being promoted, we learned that we, as third graders, would move across the hall to Mrs. Myrtle Honier's room. This year we all got the HSparland Itchn. A joy to our mothers because they had to boil sheets, bedclothing, and pajamas every day. The following year in the same room as fourth graders, we welcomed Hrs. Monier as our teacher again. Now as fifth graders we went up the stairs to Miss Franks' room. We could take a peek back in the high school halls once in a while now. But, to be sure, we were careful when that high school bell rang that we had cleared the hallway for them. Miss Frank was our capable teacher in the sixth grade also. This year we gained our HstarF, Jim Mattingly We were just getting to the stage when we began to notice members of the opposite sex and he made quite a hit with the girls. O

when we moved across the hall to the seventh grade, we entered Mrs. Wilson's room, who was very anxious to get a hold of us angels Cif you don't believe me, ask herb. This year we gained Mary Jane Finnegan, Eugene Eves, Dan Purple, Dick Davis, and Margaret Ann Kelly. The year 1950 we were very proud, because we were eighth graders now and nearing our high school days. We ended our grade school Wdazen under the very cap- able leadership of Mrs. Margaret Wilson, who said she was going to flunk all of us because she hated to see her darlings leave her. We graduated a class of twenty, including seven La Prairie students. The year of l95O was the big moment of our school career, for we were, now Ugreen Freshiesng green he- cause we knew nothing about high school and wondered what smart joke would be thrown at us next by an upper classman, There were nineteen of us now: Jim Mattingly, Mary Leigh, Janis Ross, Hary Jane Finne- gan, Beverly Wilkins, Donna Osborne, Ethel Davis, Gerry Schultz, Wilma Slutz, Beverly Lishman, Kaye Hoskins, Alice Webber, Michael Ratcliff, Don Dawson, Eugene Eves, Phillip Easter, Dick Davis,Raymond Ehnle, and Dan Purple. During this year most of us got to have our first date and go on our first hay- rack rides. Because we liked parties so well, we got off to a good start by having a nSock Hopu, which once again started the dancing fever. As sophomores we lived up to the nickname Hsilly sophomoresu and I mean we were silly! If we were dared to do anything we'd do it, such as walk through the halls barefoot or roll our bluejeans up above our knees. During this year we gained Bob Spellious.
