After finishing the ’’Little Red Hen’, and the ’Three Bears, ’ Miss Campbell as our pilot, v e stoppe' . lone enough to enroll for the Second Grade. Kiss 'roung then tried to solve our difficulties from 2 plus to 12 plus 12. The next year the same crev; under the guidance o' Miss Jones, took us from 12 plus 12 to 12 times 12. Having completed our term with Kiss Jones, she sent us further to Kiss Graf, who taught us our first Geography along with more of the three ’’R's1’. But this year one of our members left us to enter a Lincoln Grade School. This was Jean Rosakrans. Dorotlrr Schmidt was added in her place. We were all proud to enter the Fifth Grade, with Kiss Sweasey as our instructor, whe’e we studie' History as a new subject. This year Jean Roskrans again returned to our plane. Me had no difficulty in oing through the Sixth Grade for no one desired to leave the plane and we stopped for no new-comers. So Miss Evans sent us along to Kis Bush the following fall. At the begin ing of our seventh year, we welcome’ a few new members. Miss. Tush at the head we enlisted: Chester Lee Barnes, Harold Hedges, and Florence Greene. The next year under Miss Sandusky we reviewed all we ha-’ learne’ in the previous seT'en years of our travels. She must have been pleased with the returns for she sent us further to gain more knowledge. But upon entering the Ninth Grade we had to secure a larger plane because a number of country Eighth Grade graduates wanted to see what the world ?jas all about. ho we welcomed to our group the following: Evelyn Broadv, Dean Durst, Irene Fricke, George,Gardner, Lewis Graf, Don Lantz, Killian.
