SE IOR CLASS HISTGRY ln the year of 1929 twenty-five proud children skipped into kindergarten. At this time school was being held in the old Morton school building which was in the corner half of what is now the boys' playground. Since the building was over- crowded, kindergarten was held on the second floor which made us feel quite important. Those of us who started out together were: Dean Barnette, Mary Louise Brown, Bruce Comingore, Barbara Doddridge, Russell Fouts, Richard Freihofer, Kathleen Gannon, Robert Geiger, Richard Graves, Virginia Graves, James Harper, Wible Hiner, Charles Kashner, George Kashner, Robert King, Arnetta MeKinzie, Dorsey Mahin, Robert Marshall, Gene Merley, Edward Mills, Ruth Painter, Eileen Rifenburgh, Thomas Spitler, George Stafford, and Marian Wierenga. The next year all of us took a step forward into the first grade where Isabel Brady, Bill Dahl, J ack Miller, and Paul Smith joined us and we went merrily on our way. Our big trial this year was keeping our table drawers so they would close. The next year we moved into the new Morton School where we were joined by a new student, Marilyn Lloyd. After getting used to the new school we started our dramatic career by presenting our first convocation. In the third grade Bill Heath's entrance into the class brought more dramatic talent. Trying to keep up our record of getting new classmates every year, we wel- comed Esther Steele and Vera Voorhees to our fifth grade classes. Everything was going smoothly until the beginning of the sixth grade when several were double promoted into the upper half of the class. To compensate for their loss we gained Mary Ann Click, Virginia Ulrey, Patty Ludwig, and Lois VerHoeven. We looked forward to our entry into the seventh grade because with it we became the older pupils and were departmentalized. To add to our pride Ada McClary and Beulah Van Camp, the latter from Canada, entered our class. With our entrance into the eighth grade we acquired Ruth Morrison, and a curly haired blond, Harry Darling. The last high light of our grade school years was the presentation of our eighth grade play, Mulligan,s Magic . Bill Heath showed his dramatic singing and dancing ability by playing the leading role, Mulligan. Also this year our class lost one member by death, Mary Margaret Shrewsbury. Nineteen hundred and thirty-seven is a year that we will long remember. It was this year that we found out that high school wasn't quite so wonderful as we had heard-we still had to work. We also got a full quota of new class mates-- Bob Ault, Stephen Baker, Morgan Davison, Dwite McCloud, Thomas Shriner, and Charles Wolford. During our sophomore year we presented our first convocation which was a satire on the early school days of our faculty members. We also had our first class organization with President Bob King, Vice-President Bill Heath, Secretary Thom Spitler, and Treasurer Virginia Riley. Anna Brewer, Robert Montgomery, Virginia Ulrey, and Arthur Wheeler came to join our up and coming class this year. The most difficult problem of our high school career came in our junior year when we had to raise money for a reception. Our dramatic offering for this year was Footloose , which was very successful. Coming to us this year were Barbara Bradley, David Clapp, Sherwood Fifer, Charles Freeland, Marian Gwynn, Clifford Marshall, Doris Nicol, and Douglas White. Now that we are seniors and are getting out, as we say, we are in no hurry to leave. The final show of our dramatic career was June Mad . Classmates who didn't come until the last possible time are Treva Davis, Betty Anne Williams and Lynn Romeo Bryan. Our last effort as a combined class is our Annual I a I 0 n , which we are printing and placing ln your hands as a permanent record of one year in our school life. Page eleven
