CLASS HISTORY On one bright and sunny day on September 7, 1939, there began a new role in history forthe Class of 1951. Four of the original who started to this school are: Ardith Ringler, JoAnn Heifner, Howard Clawson and Don McFadden. In our first and second year of school 'we were guided by Miss Cashell. P But in the third year her name was changed to Mrs. Draper. Here's where Don McFadden moved to Louisville, Ohios . In the, fourth grade, our teacher was Mrs. Hawks. Nothing much happened in the fourth grade, but in the fifth grade, we were pushed along by Mrs. Shaner. In the sixth grade, we were joined by the brain of the class, Herbert Bigelow and our ex-brain, Don McFadden. Mrs. Garling was our teacher. , By the seventh grade, we'were started on the last half of,our slow journey to nowhere. Here we were helped along by several new teachers. Mr. Workrnan was our class advisor. We finally made it through the seventh grade without much damage done, gaining Mary Archer. In the eighth grade, we were joined by the fourth brainstorm of the class, Harold Hawley.. A Then, we took our most important step of all. Yes, it came trueg we entered high school,,believe it or not. Here we were joined by Art Walter and Herbert Bigelow' moved to Polk. In the tenth grade, we were joined by Jim Dague and Herbert Bigelow came back from Polk. Rob Dobbins, the biggest member with the HQ brains, moved in from Brownhelm. In the next to the last strenuous year, everything was quiet on the home front. But the last and the most painful year, we were all surprised we were here. Howard Clawson joined us from Wellington. Well, here we are, all bright and young and rarin' to go. Now that we are here for the last time, weshall make the teachers happy and I am not sorry to say we are glad to leave. ' During our school years, we hope that we haved lived up to our motto, Build for Character: Not for Fame. Don McFadden- l2 '

Ardith Ringler is the quiet one, But she's always having a lot of fun. She's taken up cheerleading as her fame, And who knows, she might end up at Notre Dame. Jim Dague is one of us ten. He likes the women and he likes the men: He likes sports, eating, and sleeping. I guess he likes everything but bookkeeping.
