CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of 1958 is quite an illustrious one from its beginning to its end in the Senior Year. The survivors of all twelve years at Stow are: Dick Brubaker, Gail Thomas, Betty Minier, Wilma Lawlis, Connie Godfrey, Allan Worester, Suzanne Thorpe, Kathy Shamblin, Jim Dodd, Mary Shultz, Dan Jones, Dennis Richards, Jane Clark, Joan Idle, Roy Arm- strong, Genny Moore, John Corley, Jim Hurd, Norma Jones, Jim Murfin, Nancy Oesch, Deane Hamilton, Ross Holden, Becky Everett, Judy Stuiber, John Oblak, Don Witner, Darryl Hickey, Joyce Kline, Carolyn Wilson, Margie Jackson, Bertha Cross, Carmen Fulper, Bill Godbey, Carole Wyle, Margie Smith, Shirley Pimlott, and Judie DePew. The first grade began with a bang. Innocent, little John Oblak was pushed into a mud puddle by big Dick Brubaker. John told Dick's mother and let her settle the score. There was more trouble with chairs. Jim Murfin got into trouble for pulling a chair from under Connie Godfrey. Becky Everett just kept falling out of hers. Ron Burt came that year. There was more trouble in second grade. Margie Jackson and Joyce Kline got slapped for giggling. Bertha Cross got her legs smacked for staying out too long at recess. A famous foursome around school was Carol Wyle, Roy Armstrong, Judie DePew, and Deane Hamelton, who played house everyday. In third grade, an indignant Ralph Capila refused to take the garbage to the cafeteria. Bashful Joey Burian was chased by the girls, caught, and held until they all kissed him. Kendra Downing and Claudia Lewis came this year. The difficult school began in fourth grade. Marilyn Shaver and Christina Farin- acci arrived at this time. Dan Jones got lost in the woods behind the school in fifth grade. Shirley Pimlott, alias, Roughie gave poor Bill Hunt a black eye. Bold Judy Cornell asked Mrs. Biggs if she had false teeth. Winter brought a con- stant snowball battle between the fifth and the sixth graders. The girls made the snow- balls. Ross Holden won the name of human bomber because he could slide the farthest. The sixth graders were the wheels of the Town Hall, but just the same, Mrs. Denn- ig left her mark on them. The boys took a bike hike one afternoon. Their reward was one month's detention. Marilyn Shaver was left tied to a tree while playing cowboys and Norma Jones was locked in a closet. This year Mike Bender, Mary Kinsey, and Tim Stemple, and Bob Humphrey entered Stow. Mike tried so hard to make a good impression that he knocked himself out. When seventh grade came they were at last able to establish themselves in the high school. This year Dave Kuklke, Dick and Don Bennett, Doyle Carpenter, and Noel Peircy came to Stow. Judy Cornell and Margaret Cooper were leaning out the windows when Mr. Sloop caught them. He couldn't find his paddle so they were saved. Jim Hurd wasn't so lucky. He put Mr. Sloop's paddle to use when he flicked Study Hall. There was a measle epidemic this year and no one could go to Connie Godfrey's Party. This year began the famous Kinsey-Mackenroth ro- mance. After dodging of a certain tennis ball and writing thousands of statements, they passed on to the eighth grade. This year they were the sophisticated 8th grade. The eighth grade basketball team won the Junior-High trophy. Valerie Caudill came and set quite a record by getting kicked out of English class twice in the first month. Innocent Lucie Morrison was never suspected by the teachers of carrying a squirt gun. Good old troop 313 made history by being the first and only troop in Stow to receive Curved Bar. Marge Jackson was so shook-up after Al Worcester gave her her first kiss, that she fell off a log. This year was ended by the 8th grade party. At last we entered high school and with quite a bang. The freshmen were noted for the parties they threw, much to the dismay of the upper-class girls. One continuous party was 8th period study hall in 102. This year Kool Beckie Hoskin, Dave Corbett, Sandy Clark, Mildred Mackey, Helen Carraciolo and notorious Bill Hatton arrived. Jane Clark and Barb Spear, inseparable friends, were constantly arguing. continued on page 81
