Dienhart, Secretary: Judy s, ' 2 - It's been twelve years since we first started school. Wasn't it fun to lie on our rugs during rest period in kindergarten and to go only half days? As first graders, Ann Davis and Jerri Yost cried the entire first day. We built a postoffice that year, and whata privilege it was for Thur- man Brown to be postman on Valentine's Day. We had our first taste of spelling Bees in second grade, and Bruce Sherwood proved to be champion speller. Our most popular games were Blackman and Red Rover. We felt big when as third graders we moved to the second floor. Derek moved here in the fourth grade. He was a big bully then and liked to kiss all the girls. In the fifth grade Mrs. Weldy taught us how to write neatly. Remember when Susan opened the window and it fell out! We liked to wash blackboards and to take erasers to the basement to be cleaned. Susie Dienhart was afraid to go to the basement for fear ofa paddling machine. Do you remember when Mike McFadden was terribly hurtbecause Ann Lewellyn beat him in running relays? Newhn, Treasurer. After Morton, we entered Junior High and for days we couldn't see how we could get along without recess! Remember when Karen Ullstrup gave Chip a charley horse? Influenced by 8th graders, Peggy, Susie, Carol, and Rosalie skipped class and spent that hour in the girls' rest room. Friday was our day for ieans and white shirts. At our eighth grade mixers, the boys and girls saton opposite sides of the room. We were suspended by Mr. Fabian from one basketball game for unladylike conduct at the previous game. We hated to leave Junior High, but were happy to start our four years in Senior High school. As freshmen, we spent most of the year getting acquainted. As sophs, we were excited over getting our drivers' licenses. Our iunior year was spenton making money for our wonder- ful prom . Now we are seniors. It's been twelve short years since we first started our school life to- gether. Now we are going on our separate ways. In the meantime we presentour yearbook to help you to remember us. 16
