FORTY-NINER'S CLASS HISTORY Back in September of 1937, twenty-eight bewildered little children began their long journey through education. Miss Bernece Martin, our teacher, greeted us with an understanding smile which assured us of a happy first year at Union. The members of the first grade class were, Don Caley, Pete Carey, Gene Carl, Harold Carpenter, anford Cayot,Rex Douglass, Ronnie Fisher, Peggy Folk, Jerry Fritz, Vivienne Grant, Richard Haffner, Velda Hine, Fredrick Leach, Mary May, Robert McNeely, Dick Mulligan, John Osborne, Clara Osburn, Joan Patty, Ralph Platt, Bonnie Lou Shoup, Arlene Spragtie, Dixie Thoma, Dick Thomas, Robert Tuttle, Jo Ann Veazey, Max Walton, and Mary Lou Roebrock. Everyone remained at Union except Arlene Spragtie who left before Christmas and Dick Thomas who withdrew in March of '38 to a district school in Allen County. As time flew by, we were amazed to notice that summer vacation was here and gone and we were ready to enter our second year of school. we were again greeted by Miss Martin and a few new faces who were Carol Stillwell, Edwin Smeltzer, Alice Brickley, William Brickley, Richard Crist, Wendell Ormsby, Russel Wilson, and Harold Bumgarner, all of whom came from various schools. Some of the puzzeling questions in the first week were, 'What's Phoenix? And how will we ever survive ten more years of th1s?' After the first semester and all the excitement of Christmas was over, we found we had lost three of our classmates, Carol Stillwell, Mary May, and Robert Tuttle. Before we realized it, we had been promoted to the third grade and come under the jurisdiction of a new teacher, namely, Miss Eulala Martin. This year we welcomed three newcomers to our class, June Wilson, Joan Mack, and Jay Ybukey, the latter of whom came from Wayne Haven in Allen County. There were three exciting events which we looked forward to this year as every year. The first of which was the Halloween parade and everyone dis- guised themselves as some strange character. The next event in line was the visit from good old Saint Nick when everyone received a gift and a treat from him. Then in February, the exchange of Valentines created a lot of suspense in the hearts of every fellow and gal. Before long, spring was here and semester exams and then summer vacation. In the fall, when we returned for our fourth year, our teacher was still Miss Eulala Martin, and we were in the same room as in the previous year. When we assembled, we noticed there were three changes ih the class. Harold Bumgarner who had left us during the summer for Markle, returned to the class from Allen County, but Richard Thomas and Joan Patty left for Ossian. This was the year of the l9kO presidential election. The pros and cons of the two opponents were discussed in heated arguments among many of the classmates. Upon returning for our fifth year, we expected a new teacher since we were moving on to another room, but when we arrived we were surprised to find our new teacher was none other than Miss Eulala Martin. The only change in the class this year was Richard Crist who left to go to Warren. 11
