i . Jg v y 4 px . Igavik are now members of the graduating class. This xx year we had two teachers, Mr. Greer the first semester and Mr. Bedford the second semester, Illia: 1 Mr. Long joined the faculty of our school and taught the sixth and seventh grades. We therefore had the pleasure of having him as our seventh grade teacher. Mr. Long has been our baseball coach since he has been a member of the faculty. The eighth grade found the group of timid boys and girls who had started on their journey and who had recovered from their timidness back to the same task they had to overcome eight years before. They took their places in the front of the assembly very timidly but after a few weeks had'overcome this horrible feeling. We had as our teachers, Miss Otto, Miss Wayman, Mr. Housley and Mr. Pugh. This mile was to be an important one in our lives. We were to graduate from the elementary school and then receive our diplomas to enter High School What a thrill this was L April the first came and we were acquainted with the fact that this was the day we were to take our State examination. The group did a very good piece of work on their tests and seven of them were award ed certificates of honorable mention. Those receiving honorable mention were Martha Aspacher, Genevieve Ridenour, Evelyn Lahman, Allegra Rogers, Marjorie Hagemeyer, Robert Ward and Charles Venis. At the end of our eighth mile we were awarded our diplomas and were then ready to begin our journey only having to complete four miles. On the ninth mile of our journey we lost two of our faithful members who had been with us since the beginning of our journey. They were Luetta Brueggemeier and Robert Ward. We had Miss Wayman, Miss Otto, Mr. Housley and Mr. Pugh as our teachers with Miss Wayman as our class sponsor. At the beginning of our ninth mile we elected Joan Roller as President of the class, Martha Aspacher Vice President and Allegra Rogers Secratary and Treasurer. Our tenth mile we had again as our class spon- sor Miss Wayman and the same teachers as we had in the ninth grade, This year we elected Edward Race, who had been with us for about five years, as President, Burl Beaverson Vice President and Charles Venis Secretary and Treasurer. At the end of the tenth mile Edward Race and Arnold Evans, who had been with us since the beginning of our journey left us.

E P Rf chool Some came for the purpose of learning while others desired to play more than to learn. Our teacher, Miss Stubbins, was interested in the pupils of her room and therefore gave us a good start in our ---3:57--::7'r's' at These bashful, timid boys and girls started to :S 7 X school life. O my 2 What a terrible time it was to- started. School was so much different from what some had expected and there was an extreme difference between school and the things which we had done at home. Never- theless we struggled through the first grade. get Most students made the first mile of their jour ney--there were perhaps a few punctures and a few ran out of gasoline--were able to begin the second mile of their journey, There were very few serious wrecks this year. Having found out what school was likem wefbund it much easier to begin our second year with Miss Stubbins again our teacher. As automobiles were perfected with new improvements and fixtures so were our minds given new fixtures and improvements but in much a different way than the automobile. With the new improvements we were able with less trouble and fewer punctures to make the second mile. Now that we had finished our second mile we were able to begin the third mile or year. This year we had a new teacher, Miss Herringshaw. With her guidance and help we were able to journey through the third mile. The roads were becoming smoother and with this improvement we were able to make the grade much easier. Again we started on our journey. At this time we were beginning our fourth mile. We had with us Miss Herringshaw for another year. We were climbing to the summit year by year but the journey seemed never to end. With an over night's rest which we may call our summer vacation, we were able with more vim to begin the next mile of our journey. The fifth grade found Miss Roller. As road maps were lished concerning the traveling and in our own United States so us with a new teacher, l made and pamphlets pub- in different countries were we given a new sub- ject Geography. With this subject we could go a little farther on our journey because it gave us a small idea of how we were to complete our journey. As we traveled the sixth mile of our journey we picked up two hitch-hikers, Margaret Leemaster and Charles Venis, who remained with us on our journey and l-1111-1

The eleventh mile of our journey marked another ' cornerstone, This year we had Miss Otto as our Joan Roller Vice President, Maude Roller Treas- urer, and Bruce Keller Secretary. Mr. Pugh left us and therefore Mr. Olds joined the fac- ulty Miss Krouse also joined the faculty this year and became the Music teacher and also Home Economics teacher. Two important events, which stood out to all of the Junior class as a large masterpiece, were the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet. 4 i D class sponsor and Martha Aspacher was President Qiyf We are now ending our journey and soon will be left to find our way through the world. We have Mr. Housley as our class sponsor, Martha Aspacher President, Bruce Keller Vice President, Joan Roller Treasurer, and Maude Roller Secretary. Mr. Olds and Miss Otto left us at the end of the eleventh mile and Mr. Clarke and Mr. Hetrick took their places. At the beginning of the twelfth mile we had the privilege of choosing our Class Ring and the next thing was to let the photographer shoot us. A short time after Christmas we picked our' invitations and name cards, This mile of our journey is to be the most important year of History in the eyes of the graduating class of 1936. We have shared many happy hours of work and play with our fellow-classmates and are ready to bid adieu to the many good times we had together. Our teachers have to the best of their ability taught us how to face the world. Now as we say farewell we want them to know we really appreciate all the extra hours they spent with us. We are sorry to leave our fellow students in other classes and wish them most happy years to come.
