' It 16 £1 44, ' ZfittO ' Ut FIRST GRADE It seems like only yesterday, that we entered Mrs. Ruth Rapp ' sroom to begin our adventurous school days. There were 38 of us that first year. We were all cute (ray how times have changed) but ornery. Along with the alphabet and spell- ing, we learned to tie our shoes, sing songs, and color. We slowly grew adjusted to the fundamentals of school life. SECOND GRADE In the second grade Mrs. Ruth Meredith gained our love and respect through her quiet, understanding patience. Most of all we remember our country store and sand-box that kept us busy on rainy days. There were 42 of us this year. New members were: Deanna Grindle.Jack Umbargo. Richard Waterson. Monte French. Lewis Boulet, Donna Coy, Arthur Tro- yer. Members lost were: Dominic Garnago. Ronald Underwood. THIRD GRADE In the third grade we were under the guidance of Miss Hilda Dippon. Although we remember Miss Dippon as a pretty woman, some will vouch for the fact that she could also handle a paddle! ! Our main struggle and headaches originated in multiplication problems-which we thought we would NEVER master. There were 47 of us this year. New members were: Nola Meek, Arthur Simmons. Richard Killenberg, Chuck Zimmerman. Alice Gingerich. This was the first year that we did not lost any members. FOURTH GRADE We all remember our fourth grade teacher, Mis. Mary Gams, as the one who pounded the multiplication tables into our thick skulls. We also remember the beloved story-time and parties that we would have when our work was finished. Because of a bad windstorm, this was the last year that the school bell on the old building was in use. There were 49 of us this year. New members were: Gleneen Peters. Susan Streibel, Jerry Forrest, David Lee. Charles Schlabach, Jimmey Berry, Jay Brouwer. Margarett Huninghake, Dominic Garnago. Members lost were: Richard Krilenberger. Jack Smith. Patty Tauber. FIFTH GRADE Our fifth year in school was under the guidance of Mrs. Gladys Morris. It was this year that we had to learn all of the states and capitols for the first time. Mrs. Morris biggest problem was discipline. If memory serves right, there were quite a few people who had to stay in recesses. New members were: Carol Weaver. Sandra Weldy. Sandra Worley, Dick Tuttle. Members lost were: Susan Streibel. Monte French, Richard Krilenberger, David Lee. Richard Waterson, Domi- nic Garnago. SIXTH GRADE In our sixth year of school, we started the year out with the attitude that we know all . It wasn ' t long, however, until our first man teacher, Mr. Gilbert George, took this idea out of our heads. Our fondest memory is the first snow- fall, when Mr. George let us have a free-for-all snow fight. New members were: Paul Pollock. Carol Hudson, Roddy Laughlin, PaulMcClamrock. Members lost were: Donna Jean Coy, Sandra Weldy, Sandra Worley. Jimmy Berry. Marcia Knipstein. SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade was our first year in the high school building.

Barbara Montel. Phil Kitson. Merna Keim. Lester Barnard. Members lost were: Evelyn Davis, Deanna Denton, Mar- garett Huninghake. Nola Meek. Roddy Laughlin. Dick Tuttle. Jay Rigdon. SOPHOMORE YEAR We had some money making campaigns during this year. Some of them were selling schedule pencils and a hanger drive (never try it-it ' s a mess). Mr. Hughes was our sponsor and there were 49 of us. Barbara Montel and John Searfoss were chosen as our King and Queen with Barb receiving the honor of being queen of the school. This was the first year that the school took part in interscholastic baseball. New members were Evelyn Detwiller. Max Kleinknight. Nancy Baumgartner. Members lost were: SamualNusbaum. Arnelda Miller, Lawerence Williams, Alice Wagner, Paul McClam- rock, Keith Larson. Marlene O ' Haver. Everett Byrd, Linda Davis. Mary Stuckman. JUNIOR YEAR We had many exciting things happen this year. Among them were the presentation of our class play, WE SHOOK THE FAMILY TREE. and the buying of our class rings. We had a magazine campaign this year. Jay Brouwer was the top salesman and received a portable radio for his efforts. Mrs- Vance and Mr Longenbaugh were our sponsors and there were 43 of us. Mary Miner and John Searfoss were our King and Queen with Mary being chosen Queen of the school. This was the first year that the new building and cafeteria were in use. Members lost were: Evelyn Detwiller, Arthur Troyer. Larry Weaver, Jerry Kern. Tom Kern, and Arlis Hammon. SENIOR YEAR During our senior year we were kept busy (and broke) with the duties of seniors. Some of these were: Newspaper work, canteen work, pictures, invitations, name cards, annuals, and provisions for our class trip. Our class play was A BROOM FOR THE BRIDE . This was the first year that the new gym and canteens were in use. There were 40 of us this year with Mr. Immel and Mr. Longenecker as our sponsors. New members were: Judy Franklin and Jay Rigdon. There were 18 of us that went through our twelve years together. They are: Darlene Dust, Darlene Hickman. Larry Mock, Ruth Ann Cory, Susan Dan, Rosemary Losee. Walter Brazil, Ronald Thornburg.

Although we do not knowwhere our future leads, we are anxious to further our clirabto higher knowledge. We hope that we have made some cherishing friends and have done something to better our school. We wish to thank everyone who has made this the fam- ous class of 56ers . Peggy Pusti Susan Darr Compliments of catoty Snafi4£ot4 !
