In August T943 twenty-three first graders started up the stairway toward a better education. On the first step Miss Martin greeted Janet Allen, Larry Burgess, Bill Bender, Mary Burnau, Donald Clark, Ronald Clark, Darlene Denman, Diane Denney, Bill Fisher, Phillis Heath, Larry Lesh, Donald McKinsie, Jean Maloney, Melvin Meyer, Glenn Morfield, Sue Newhard, Marilyn Overholt, Melba Overholt, Jerry Quackenbush, Joyce Ross, Lynn Smuts, Harold Wheeler, and Agnes Wilson. Mrs. Shory helped us on our second step. During this year Phillis Heath moved away. We also acquired Jerry and Larry Corell. Then came the third step with Mrs. Shory teaching us again. This year we acquired Jean Melby, Larry Wilson, Genevieve Schwartz, and Richard Norris. Mrs. Lesh guided us on our fourth step. In this year we gained Bobby Coral, John Brant, Dave Reavis, Bob Christman, Kent Shepler, Earl Gaskill, and Donna McCartney. We lost Genevieve Schwartz, Bob Elzy, and Don McKensie. Under Mrs. Hammond, our guide during the fifth step, we gained Patty Kaylor, and Carol Ferguson. Losing Bill Bender and Earl Gaskill, we iourneyed on to the sixth step. Our sixth step was taught by Mrs. McLean. John Brant and Bobby Coral moved away during that year. On our seventh step we advanced to the upper floor, where we were taught by Mr. Murray. Going up-stairs was the main event of the year. During this year we added another set of twins to our class, Nancy and Bill Thurber Going to our last step in grade school, the eighth grade, Mr. Carter welcomed us. During that year Jean Melby moved to Bluffton. Our basketball team went to the finals in the county tourney, against Chester. Becoming a green freshman was our ninth step. Darrel Botts was our sponsor during this year. We started making money for our senior trip that year by picking up corn. Our tenth step proved to be a quiet year. We gained Gerald Jump and lost Dave Reavis. On our eleventh step several important events took place. Our iunior class play, One Wild Night, helped to raise money for our senior trip. We waited for what seemed eternity for our class rings. During that year we had a chili supper, which helped a great deal on our trip fund. Our class sold concessions at ball games and operated the school store. Our twelfth step proved to be the most thrilling, exciting, and interesting year of all. The first thing on our long list of activities was our Senior pictures. Next we ordered our invitations, thank you notes, and name cards. Then we decided on the color of our caps and gowns. Our Senior class play was called GalIoping Ghosts , this was a great success, due to the stage managers. We spent considerable time publishing the Reflector, which seemed to be liked by everyone. ln the latter part of April we went on our class trip, which turned out to be loads of fun.
