Dur teacher was Edythe Babington. Remem- ber how we were scared soeechless every tire those big high-schwolers cane bounding down the stairs? The next year a new rember was added to the faculty. This was Viss Eileen Scholz, who was so oatlent with all nineteen of us. During this year, flva had left and six new classmates joined us. It was during the first two years that we used the system of monitors, where certain students heloed the teacher. That was really a privilege! The third year we advanced across the hall where Mrs. Myrtle Monier gave us further instruction. This year we lost five but gained ten, one of which was Vaurltta Streitmatter. Our class seemed to be growing larger each year. It seemed that we would have a new taught us. Twenty-two were enrolled in all of those stairs to get to our roar. Hare we had Miss Fern Frank as our Haycraft and Barbara McDonald. This made us a class of fifteen. very vanable teacher.

This year we had fun kinds of ways so that we could take a trio. This trio was to the and the Hoszell dairy olant. In the seventh grade, under Mrs. Margaret Wilson, we sold cards and earned more money and took another trip. This one was north to the Palisades, Grant's hone, and a little way into Wisconsin. Can't think of the boy who threw snitballs and had to chew a whole nint full for Mrs. Wilson that year! We then entered the eighth grade and we really thought we were grown uo. with Mrs. Wilson still as our teacher, we worked hard and took a trio to the Tulln Festival in Holland, Michigan. This was quite an experience for most of us. As graduation neared, wa realiind that there would be no more birthday osrtles to celebrate nor any holiday treats. At graduation, twenty-one -ado un our class and these were: Jerry Anderson, Jo Anne Campbell, Marilyn Cockarhsr, Ivan Daltor, Jim Wavls, Lloyd Davis, Bill Eavls, Joanna Haycraft, Jack Herncjar, Merrielle Jury, Lucille McCull'ugh, Barbara McDonald, Dean Probyn, Daniel Roberts, Maurltts Streltratter, and Joanne Thislbar.
