Clorss History Observers on the first morning of school, 1934, could not fail to notice the group of 18 ill-assorted youngsters who shyly entered their classroom to absorb some knowledge under the direction of Miss Burgett. In our second year, under Miss Williams' guidance, Robert Bolton began making plans for the future by promising Ethel Jane Lloyd and Betty Couts a trip to California on his Minneapolis Moline when they got bigf' During this year Marjorie Ringwald and Dean Crone entered our class as permanent classmates. Our failure to achieve success was made public during our third year when Miss Alspaugh gave several of us our first introduction to the paddle. We were joined by Rose Ann Patrick and Bill Evans this year. Miss Evans took over the job of instructing us in our fourth year providing a firm foundation and we began to really enjoy read1n', writ1n', and 'rithmetic. As We entered our fifth and sixth grades we changed sex of teacher for we had become so unruly that it was necessary for a man to control us. Our new teacher was Mr. Jones. It was during our fifth year that Marjorie Ringwald received a lesson on pouting resulting in having her face slapped. In the seventh grade. Fred Neiford entertained us on Hallowe'en by giving a party, which proved to be a success. This year we found Mr. Correll, our sponsor, was a very good target for our paper wads. We began our eighth grade year with Mr. Van Eman as our instructor. After he was called by Uncle Sam, we were guided for a few weeks by Mrs. Forest Lewis, who classified us as nothing but Hardened Criminals. Miss Jones then took over the leadership. After a three months vacation, the great day came when we became Freshmen in High School with Miss Breese as our sponsor. Our first election for class officers was held with Warren Morris President, Wilbur Krugh Vice President, Janette Taylor Secretary, Dean Crone Treasurer, and Betty Couts Reporter. as victors. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we discovered that we had passed through the blundering stage and could laugh with the other students at the oncoming green Freshmen. This year the class had a Christmas party at the home of Janette Taylor. Dorothy Reese became a permanent member of our class this year. Our Junior year consisted of many pleasant, long-to-be-remembered events. Mr. McDonel was our sponsor this year. Under his guidance we chose our graduation rings in September and received them November 16. After this happy event we began work on our class play, The Wild Oats Boy and presented it before a large audience May 4, 1945. We entertained the Seniors May 15 at the Whitehall Inn for the Prom, which was informal and were quite proud of the event we had planned for them. Doe Perez entered the class this year. We began our Senior year by maintaining a superior attitude toward our under-classmen and trying our teachers' patience with a mouse. We soon found that our sponsor, Mrs. Morris, could still keep us in line so we gave up our pedestals and began digging After a few weeks of intensive studying, we began work on our ,class play which demanded much of our time and found ourselves very busy. Due to a flu epidemic we postponed our play from December to January and presented it before a very apprecia- tive audience January 14, 1946. The name of the play was For Pete's Sake with Wilbur Krugh in the leading role. 25
