History Tommy Fry Janice Hudnut Betty Jo Bevans Barbara Rosecrans In the year of 1947-1948 these twelve young children told their mothers 6ood-by as they trudged off to their very first day of school to Miss Mabel: Carol Schork Jean Sweer Shirley Coney Lyle Legg Jean Tompkins Arlo Miller Louise Nichols Keith Bishoff Then as we went through the second grade, we gained Steve Raymond; however, Barbara Rosecrans was not with us, while Miss Mable continued to guide us. As we spent our last year with Miss Mable, those missing were Tommy Fry, and Jean Sweet. The new pupils were Sharon Allison, Raymond Denny, Jimmy McFarland, Louise Nichols, and Virginia Junk. In the fourth grade, Mrs. Norma Welker was our teacher. New pupils present were: Edgar Shoup, Danny Dunbar, John Timmons, Marvin Ruschill, and Norma Jean Lamb. However, Betty Jo Bevans was not with us this year. Then we were in the fifth grade. We started out with Mrs. Norma Wilkening as our teacher, but she was forced to go West because of asthma. Mrs. Shirley McDaniels took hex place. The new pupils that year were Diana Raymond and Raymond Denny. Next in 1952-1953, we were in the sixth grade, and Mr. John M. Ewing became our teacher. Diana Raymond was unable to be with us this year. Again we had Mr. Ewing as our teacher, but Louise Nichols, Raymond Denny, and Jimmy McFarland were not with us. When we were eighth graders, we were approaching graduation. We were guided by Mr. Ewing. Joe McDermott and Anna Marie Weaver were our new classmates. Steve Raymond left before the first semester; Anna Marie left before graduation. Entering high school, the faculty were Mr. Hrll, Mr. Bowen, Mr. Reed, Mrs. Gould and Mr. Hayworth. The new freshmen were Jean Sweet, Mary F. Murphy, and Dorotheann Ritter. When we were sophomores the new member of the faculty was Mr. Shirey. Doro- theann was not a member of our class that year. As juniors, Mr. Stevenson became the new member of the faculty. Those not present were Norma Jean Lamb and Jean Tompkins, and before the year was up Lyle Legg, Arlo Miller, and Carol Schork had left us. Now we are seniors and at the very gate of life. The new faculty member was Mr. Goetz. Shirley Coney did not attend, but Jean Tompkins Brown was with us again. Mrs. Brown was able to finish with us because of correspondence work she had taken from the University of Missouri to account for her absence in the junior year. - Jeanie Brown - Keith Bishoff OVERSTREET’S DAIRY FARM - Lewistown

In Memoriam At this time we pause in memory of young Jimmy McFarland, the most pleasing little person with the never-erasable smile. We shall always re- member his friendliness, his young delicate being, and his pleasant ways that were loved by all. For him there shall always be a place in each of our hearts. We turn backward to December 21, 1955, and remember when he left his classmates and school friends, and we often wish that he were here with us.
