Helen Wolken 'Says little, Knows much.1 Girls Glee 2, Brave 2, Tomahawk 4, Student Council 4, Hi-Life 3, Dramatics 3, Jr. Class Play 3. Vernon Woltemath 1 Whitey Basketball 3, F.F.A. 1,2,3,4, Student Council 3, Jr. Class Plav 3. CL It was the first Monday morning of Sept. 1939. Thirty-eight happy mothers brought their ‘‘not so happy off springs to kindergarten for the. first time. Every mother agreed that this was absolutely the cutest group ever to start school. We were too young to understand just what Miss Schoenleber thought of us; especially when half the group started to cry when their mothers left. Those present on this first day were; Nancy Johnson. Bud Hintz, Ronald Ramsey, Frank Egge, Paul Belstner, Darrell Schendler, Junior Lacey, Jayne Gorton, Jane Humann, Gerald Van Winkle, Homer Smith, John Morrissey, Marilyn Gates, Shirley Hagleback, Janice Phillips, Janice Massic, Phyllis Sherman, Jim Stettenbenz, Gordan Pilmore, Gary Hazen, Bill Harms, Larry Hartley, and David Proctor. By some strange miracle we did become accustomed to school routine and all were promoted to the first grade the next year. Miss Palmer was our teacher. Sue Kirkman and Roger Wait joined us. Miss McDouga1 welcomed us into the second grade and Jim Higgins and Jodelle Floreke joined us. By the time we reached the third grade we were feeling quite important and Mrs. Meade was our teacher. Jim Haile, Harold and Darrell Dorsch, and Wilson Morris were new students. For the fourth grade we favored Miss Ha inner with our sweet and smiling faces. Added to our group were Orville Smith, Eunice Tarbley, and Perry Hart ley. By the time we reached the fifth grade we were feeling very important. In fact we didn’ t find out we weren’t the most important group in school until Mrs. Steinmeyer came to us in February, followed by Mrs. Cowell in April. They made us realize we came to school to study Loren Clark, Bob Faris, Melvin Slagel, and Howard Rowe joined us in this grade. Then came the big day when we went upstairs to Miss Hamer and the sixth grade. Bob Smith, Bill Grosse, and Charley Morris joined us here. Miss Schmidt was our seventh grade teacher and Max Scott and Mary Beth Gillette were the new students. Miss Trihy took charge of the eighth grade and all its troubles. Kenneth Parrish joined us. Finally the day of days arrived and we were welcomed (?) into High School as freshmen. Many of our former Classmates had detoured or left us for other schools and many new ones had joined us. There was Vernon Waltemath, Helen Wolken, Leona Scho11,LaVern Scholl, Ruth Scholl, Mary Packett, Adolph Oestmann, Gene Morrissey, Ann Miner, Leola Meyers, Ivan Mason, Arlene Heideman, Carol Gottula, lone Dirksen, Lois Broady, Verlyn Beuthe, Ted Chamberlain, Lois Hupka, Victor Lillich, and Walter Robinson. Mr. Kailey was our sponsor and our entire class entered into high school life with vim and vigor. In our sophomore year Elaine Dillon joined our class and Mr. Stecker was our sponsor. Our junior year was a thrilling one; under the leadership of Miss Nelson. Carolyn Huff, Ines Bryan, Clarence Finfrock, Vic Huttenmeyer, Norma Tod ter, and Arnold Peters were new students. Who’ll ever forget our ‘‘Round Up’’ banquet and all the thrills that go with the Annual Junior Senior affair? Our Senior Year is here at last. All of us say we will be glad to be through school. Confidentially I think everyone is leaving T.H.S. with a feeling of regret. We owe a lot to all of our teachers, to the school board, and tax payers. ‘‘It’s a grand old school! ' —11—
