CLASS HI TORY As we look into our crystal ball, there comes to us a voice out of the past. It speaks to us about one early September morning in 1944 when fourteen of the orginal members were present. They are Chuck Blair, Nancy Bloss, Mary Bradley, Dick Brown, Juanita Fenton, Leroy Hightree, James Hipkins, Carole Holler, Bill Jones, Mary Miller, Lawrence Osborn, Bertha Rice, Jane Scott, and Norma Stainfield. Our first grade teacher was Mrs. Karr. She taught us the fundamentals of the 3 R's. We made it . We 'continued on in the second grade with a new teacher, Mrs. Hanawalt. Mrs. Jennings, our third grade teacher, introduced two new students Adaline Oakes and Jacqueline Engle- baugh. On our journey to the fourth grade we added three more permanent membersg Bob Braden, Allen Smith, and Harry Samuels. During our fourth grade Mrs. Queale helped us present our first puppet show. Pretty good! we might say. Mrs. Wall, having returned from Arizona, became our fifth grade teacher. Mrs. Seaholm prepared us for our journey into Junior High. Bonnie Gregory Joined us there to make a grand total of twenty. And now came the big moment of our life when we were at last Seventh graders. We had some trouble getting used to changing classes, but Mr. Schettino, our home room teacher, helped us with that. Mr. Delpero was our Eighth grade home room teacher. At last we were proud Freshmen! Our initiation was a night we will never forget. The Sophomores made us dress up that day and then they initiated us that night and also served a lunch. Our class advisor was Mr. Rechedy. Then we were Sophomores and received the privilege of initiating the Freshmen. Again our class advisor was Mr. Rechedy. We ordered our class rings and got them at the end of our Sophomore year. In our Junior year we added one more member to our class, Margaret Martin. Our class advisor was Mrs. Heberling. We sold ice cream and stationery to earn money, and then held the Junior-Senior prom at Squaw Creek Country Club. We also took a trip to Washington D. C. We presented our first play Cupid in Pigtails' And now we have reached the highest point in school. We now have a grand total of twenty-one. Under leadership of Mrs. Glowe, our class advisor, we made our Yearbook. It is now the end of our Senior year and you will hear of us in the coming years as we go through history.
