when we entered the seventh grade we were met by Mrs. Crisman, whom we thought we had left back in fifth grade. when roll call was taken we found Donna Verla Belle that we had nine new members. They were Leona Anliker Robert Becke Fehr, Patty Ketelsen, Rolland Krug, Darrell Loerke, Melvin Mathson, Reese, and Fred Traub. During the year Daniel Schneider and Lulu Doty decided to loin us. It was during this year that we extended 1' our sympathy to Leona Anliker when her sister, Helen, was killed in a fire. As we went on to the eighth grade we found that Bernadine Bleuer had ioined us, missing was Jeanne Law. The next year when we came to school we found ourselves as Freshmen filling those seats right inside of the doors of the assembly. After we had gotten settled, we found that Barbara Baas, Lee Fry, Mark Montag,Mm- vin Montag, Gary Plahn, and Hazel Zinnel had found themselves a seat. Missing were Jeannette Law and Gloria Gearhart. Hazel Zinnel decided to leave us during the year to take up that great career of a housewife.
