Classes CLASS OF 1938 MEMORIES OF FIRST GRADE Twenty one youngsters—12 girls and nine boys—some almost afraid of our shadows, starved to school on the first Monday morning in September, 1926. Our first grade teacher was Miss Anna E. Smith. We all liked her very much. We remember distinctly how she used to play the organ, and we would sing. The first day she left the door open and we were not a-fraid, but the second day she closed it. We all wondered why she did it and what was going to happen. Jimmie Logan was most frightened of all, but he, like the rest of us, soon became accustomed to it and we were very happy the remainder of ;he year. He had just returned from France, so frequently entertained us with talks about his trip. SECOND GRADE In the second grade we had a very nice teacher, Miss Emma Crawford. She taught us to make many interesting things wivh our hands, such as straw frames for pictures and rugs that we wove on looms made of card board. LOOKING BACK TO THIRD GRADE. Our teacher in the third grade was Miss Helen Armbruster. We delighted in arranging our sand tables in her room. On Valentine Day we made heart men. Every day we had health inspection. Each row was inspected and we had charts that we marked when we scored points in health. BEGINNING OUR DRAMATIC ABILITY Our fourth year of school had now come. We were taking up new text books in geography, and were making maps. Miss Dorothy Andre was our teacher. We spent much of our spare time giving programs. This was rather an unforvunate year for us on the playground. Quite a few pupils were injured. WE BECOME NOMADS During our fifth year we moved three times. The new high school building near us had just been completed and changes were being made. When the 7th and 8th Grades moved, it left us in possession of almost the entire upstairs to ourselves. So we moved and kept moving until we found a room that suited us. Miss Ella Humphrey was our veacher. We had many good times with Christmas and Mother’s Day Programs. At the close of the year we gave a radio reproduction of Amos an’ Andy. WE CHANGE BUILDINGS In the sixth grade we moved into a new building next door and had a new teacher, Mrs. Louise Hoeckh. ’Twas in this year that we organized the club—“Sons and Daughters of the Republic”—and gave many interesting programs. We made many booklets for our geography and our history classes. We also had our first art class with Miss Sarah Hutt as our teacher. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Our promotion to Junior High was a departure from any we had ever experiencd, for we were to have an entirely new type of schedules with many different teachers. All of this we approached with something of the spirit of adventure. There were sixty nine of us. twenty one of whom had started together in the first grade. The rest had joined us along the way 14

CLASSES as vhe schools became centralized, and were we proud in the beautiful new junior-senior high school building with six different teachers—Miss Keechle in history, geography, spelling and writing, Mr. Roberts in arithmetic, Miss Buell in English, Miss Katzenberger in science, Mr. Harris in manual traiing, Miss Vallery in home economics and Mr. Rose in music. It was here that we had our first class organization in which we a-dopted white and blue as our colors, and the blue forget-me-not as our flower. Our motto was: “Forward Ever, Backwad Never!” The officers were: President James Logan Vice President Weldon Way Secretary Or land Ross Treasurer Ruth Cutler Our promotion into eighth grade brought us to the last round-up of grade work with the same teacher1. excepting Miss Keechle, who had resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. Hoeckh. We are inclined io feel that our work this year has been the heaviest of any we have had thus far. but. with clubs, music athletics, chapel programs and Valentine boxes, we have had a haopy year. Just as “The Waverly Novel” goes to press, we are in the throes of reviewing for the s ate exam-ina ion. the result of which, we Irust, will produce sixty-six full fledged Freshmen.
