I have located all of this class except John Gribler. Wanda tells me that john has married a Canadian girl and is the owner of the Gribler Rug Factory, whose motto is Rugs That Can't Be Beat . Business is reported to be rushing past the door. Now that I have located all my friends of the Senior Class and find that they are very prosperous in what they are doing, I realize that I ana exhausted. So I will sign off by wishing you all as much happiness in life as the Senior Class of 1948. THE CLASS HISTORY OF 1948 Back in September, 1936, there were 14 girls and 15 boys entering the Willshire Public School. As these little jewels passed the first day of school pondering over what it was all about, they heard the words reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, language, music, and drawing and were later to better understand the fullest meaning of them. By the perseverance of our teacher, Miss Beatrice Neiferd, we were soon learning something a- bout our school work, and surprisingly enough, we were also gaining cer- tain knowledge from other sources that never seemed to at all help us in any way to get along with the teacher. After making it through the first nine months, we were prepared to enter the second grade. There Miss Wolfe greeted us. Next year Miss Bernice Dugan and Miss Wolfe instructed. From the fourth grade through the eighth, we were very fortunate to have Mr. Sipe and Mr. Edwards. They helped us struggle to the goal of high school. When we entered high school, it seemed strange at first. We occupied the first row of seats in the study hall. The second week of school, the seniors had planned a surprise for us. The boys wore dresses and the girls wore overalls. Yes, it was initiation day. Mr. Griffith was our sponsor. These nine months passed quickly. At the beginning of the next school term, we were rated as sopho- mores and Mrs. Helser was our sponsor. We found this year less event- ful than the freshman year. Our junior year was full of excitement. Shortly after school started we selected our play, Youth Saves the Day , which was presented Novem- ber lst. Our class rings arrived in March. Planning the junior-Senior Re ception was a big event. It was held May 10, 1947 at Hotel LaFontaine in Huntington, Indiana. Miss Sheppard was our sponsor for this year. As seniors, our present enrollment is ten boys and six girls. Only six boys and two girls attended Willshire School all twelve years. They were: Louise Bienz, Verna Pifer, Don Geary, john Gribler, Gordon Leisimer, LaVerne Miller, john Schaffner, and Bob Voltz. We find this year full of excitement and hard work. Everyone is looking forward eagerly, yet sadly, to our last days together which will be spent in Washington, D. C. We owe much to Mr. Cowan for his help as sponsor.
