-:-Senior Class History IQLLI O YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL? That was the day you got there fifteen minutes earlier than you ever did afterward. Zip backward with me twelve years and we-'ll find out about it. The time: 8:30. The place: State street with Lincoln school at the south and Washington school at the north. Tripping gaily toward the south we find Mary Dell Burnside, Kenneth Briggs, Junior Stockebrand, Laura Mae Simpson, Clark Hollinger, Wayne Wilhite, Velma Heinlen, Ralph Lake, Richard Leighton and Richard Vadnais. Toward the northern end of State street we find Mary Joan and Virginia Fry, Patricia Pfifer, Lavonne Daniel, Margaret Eichorn, Alan Stoll, Ella Fae Stroh and Junior Varnum. We learned much this first year due to the fact that we were in the hands of capable teachers, Miss Greenman and Miss Spencer. Our superintendent was Mr. Markham. Our second year was notable because of our increase in number. We were joined by Mary Frances Briles, Gertrude Pugh, Glenn Tolle, Elaine Starks, Betty Simpson and Jerome Sorenson. Also Junior Stockebrand got his first paddling, re- member? In the fourth grade Doris and Wilda Church entered our class, and in the fifth we were joined by Bill and Benjy Greene. In 1935 we no longer thought about elementary school, because we were in new surroundings, Junior High! We were joined by Harry Theobald, Helen Gun- nels, Calvin Brodrnan, Lauren Ryan, Geraldine Drain and Hal Widner. We remem- ber this year especially because we began playing basketball. The girls used to beat us, too. What a thrill in the eighth grade to be the oldest ones in school. An ad- dition to our class was Kenny Stockebrand who played on the championship basket- ball team that year. In 1937, came the thrill of thrills-High School! After eight years of hard work, we were being admitted into the portals of the building of our dreams. We were the greenest bunch of Greenies that ever set foot in the halls of old Y.C.H.S. Piqua contributed Mary Beth Haen, Joan Heffern, Lorraine Heffern and Marjorie Lair. From various other places came Estil Barnes, Mary Jane Dassow, Gordon Stockebrand, Helen Massey, Margaret Smith, Evelyn Mulsow, Wilma Watts, Wilma Mabie, Alma Jean Rehmer, Charles Lewis, Lenore Reep, Mardell Randall, Arthur Bowers, Elvin Weide, Fred Steffen, Eva Lee Shotts, Mildred Bauersfeld, Melvin Ruth and Jesse Gillespie. Dick Buck joined us in the middle of the year from Great Bend. We started our sophomore year with seventy members, being joined by Barbara Sisson and Starl Driskill. That year will be remembered for the loss of Mr. Widner, Hal Widner, Kenneth Briggs and Patricia Pfifer. This was also the year that we welcomed J. W. McDonald as our new coach. The class proved its talent this year by the number of extra curricular activities in which it was represented. In our junior year we welcomed our new Superintendent, Mr. Lancaster. Our class was joined by Richard Lancaster and Chancey Turner. The high points of the year were the Junior Play, Spring Fever, and our Antarctic Banquet. In our twelfth year we lost Mary Elizabeth Pingrey, but in the middle of the year we were joined by Gertrude Altman. The climax of our school career was our senior year. We can hardly say other than that it was a rip-roaring success in View of our accomplishments, not the least of which was placing second in the Tri-Valley League in basketball. Special events of the year were the Senior Play, the J unior-Senior banquet, the coronation of our King and Queen and Diplomas. 18
