Soon after school started Gary THOMAS moved to his new home in Kellerton, and in December Jo Anne left us to make her home in Arizona. Again in February we were sorry to lose two more students, John and Sharon REYNOLDS, but were happy to welcome Glen TULL into our first grade.

In spite of the rainy, dreary weather we all enjoyed the Halloween festival. We held our party in the afternoon at the school house. Our guests were Linda KINNE, Charles DUTTON, Allyn BISSELL, and Nancy NICHOLS. In the evening we took part in the parade and were happy to receive first prize on our float. The first grade also placed third on painted windows. With the money received, we purchased an art easel which we are all enjoying.

At the Community Christmas program, held in the Methodist church, our room joined with the intermediate room in presenting the play, "Troubles of the Shoe Family."

On the Friday afternoon preceding Christmas, we invited our mothers to visit our room for the Christmas exchange. Santa Claus was an unexpected visitor.

We wish to say thanks to the manual training boys for painting our cupboards and making us a pretty white book shelf. It has added a touch of cheerfulness to our room.

Valentine's Day was a day of excitement and joy in our room. Linda KINNE, Allyn BISSELL, Charles DUTTON, Nancy NICHOLS, Vernon Lee WILKIE, and Eddy FORD came to join in our fun. The afternoon activities centered around the opening of the overflowing valentine box and the sharing of valentine treats. Mrs. O'NEAL, Mrs. RICHARDS, Mrs. ford, Mrs. KINNE, and Mrs. DUTTON were also welcome visitors.

Each birthday has been observed by readying a favorite story, singing the Happy Birthday song and the passing of treats by the honored one.

Our library corner is continuing to grow. This year we have added all the preferred books of the Iowa Pupil Reading Circle as well as several other good books. We wish to express our appreceiation to the various social clbus who have donated books to our room. We know that attractive books displayed in an attractive manner are excellent incentives to promote good reading.

The school year began with an enrollment of twenty pupils in our room. The third grade had the following students: Dee CHEEK, Patricia dutton, Hugh David FERGUSON, Bobby HARTLEY, Jimmy JOBE, Ronald THOMAS and Sue Ann RICHARDS. The fourth grade consisted of Arvid CLYMER, Marvin HALM, Darwin LARSON, Jimmie McINTOSH, Doris REYNOLDS, Donald THOMPSON, and Donna Mae WEEDA. In the fifth grade were Betty JOBE, Jimmy MOHR, Jenesse OVERHOLTZER, John PETERS, Charles RYAN, and Bonnie CLOUSE.

As the year progressed Ronald THOMAS moved to Kellerton, Jimmie McINTOSH left for a winter in FLORIDA, and Donald THOMPSON went to Arizona. Doris REYNOLDS left in February for her new home near Shannon City. On New Years Day two new pupils joined our ranks. They were Ronald TULL in the fifth grade and Vaughn TULL in the third grade. In March Mary Jane MINNICK entered the third grade from the Mount Ayr School.

Social Science, one of our most interesting subjects, took the third grade through forest, plain, and desert with the early American Indian. These studies were motivated with pictures, the construction of a tepee and an adobe house, and their own pictures portraying Indian customs. From this they advanced into pioneer life then to modern living.

The fourth grade finds the subject interesting through a contrast of Hot Wet Lands, Hot Dry Lands, and Eskimo life; Also a comparison of mountain and lowland. A mural of life in Holland was one of many projects connected with the study.

The fifth grade started with the history and geography of Iowa, then visited all sections of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Centeral America, West Indies, and South America by means of "The Textbook Limited," "Picture Airlines," and "Map Study Steamer" with a few side trips made by the "Encyclopedia Bus."

We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Library Association and all other persons or organizations who made it possible for us to have so many nice story books, encyclopedias, and dictionaries.

With the help of the manuel training boys, who painted cupboards and tables for us, we have arranged an attractive library corner. We reparied some of the worn books, displayed our favority stories on book shelves and reading table, exhibited book covers on a bulletin board, and made movies and murals of our favorite stories. An addition to the corner is a display of the shells sent to us from Florida by Jimmie McINTOSH.

Athletic Highlights of 1947 & '48

Walter ZARR	Marian O'NEAL

The boys had a better season this year than last chiefly because all the boys had had at least one year's practice with the varsity and were willing to get in and play ball the way they had been told to do the year before.

The boys jumped to a very good start, winning five in a row and then they were fouled up by losing one. They soon got back in stride and were going strong up until tournament time. When the tournaments came around the boys seemed to be letting up just a little too much when they should have been pouring it on. During the close of the season they went into a slump and were never able to make a comeback. Although they won the biggest percentage of their games they were losing the ones that were hurting and hurting badly.

Some good examples of this were a split decision between Arispe and Tingley up until tourney time and then they bowed out to Arispe in the Five Mile finals. Then came the County Tourney. Tingley dropped Mt. Ayr the week before the tournament, but when the tournament got underway they proved no match what-so-ever. Then at last came the one that really counted, the Boys' Sectional. Tingley drew Thayer, a team they had defeated twice during the regular season. The down Thayer all right, but not until they had worn themselves ragged. Next in line came Shannon City, a team we had lost to by only one point and also one we had defeated and defeated badly during the regular season. What did Tingley do, but let this opportunity slip through their hands and lose their last chance to enter the finals, where they would have been if they would have played in the same manner as they had before entering into the tournaments.

However, these boys have nothing to feel too sorry about, as they accomplished something that hasn't been done in this school for a long, long time. This feat was that they defeated every team played at least once during the regular season. In fact, I am willing to wager that this hasn't been done for several years.

Avery WOOLLUMS, Donald NEFF, Doyle REYNOLDS, Evelyn DE VRIES, Donna FERGUSON

The girls were not as fortunate this year as last for the simple reason that they had lost nearly all the former first team players and were ready to start near the bottom again. Marian O'NEAL and Evelyn DE VRIES were the only regulars to come back this year, so the girls found it rather tough going.

Charlotte PETERSOHN took over the job of Margaret TROXELL who left with the Class of '47. and for her first year did quite well and shows signs of being a star next year. Charlotte is only a junior this year and has proved she is a very good shot once she gets started. Marlene GILES filled the post position, a spot that is plenty hard, formerly held by Eloise WALTERS. Although Marlene was only a Freshman, she has certainly got teams wondering how they are going to stop her under the basket for the next several years. Doris ENGLAND took over the job of Ella Deane DE VRIES and has certainly proved she could do it. Doris made as much improvement in the one year as anyone could ask for. Although she is rather short, it didn't seem to bother her as she really made it tough for some pretty good forwards that were put against her this season. Betty MARRS took over the task of guarding the post forward and don't think for a minute one can't be proud of her. Even Joyce OVERHOLTZER, the star guard of Tingley for the past several years must admit Betty did a swell job.

Next year the Tingley girls should be ready to go on another good season, such as they have had in the last several years.

Highlights on Coach
Although Mr. VERPLOEGH has been teaching in the Tingley High School for five years now, he has not been a coach all of this time. He has been a coach to the boys for the last three years and to the girls for two. Miss GUSTAFSON was the girls' coach during the 1946 and '47 season.

In the three years that Mr. VERPLOEGH has been coaching he has taken his teams to twenty-nine tournament games. He has also left a very good record behind him. Between the two years that he has coached the girls and the three years he has had the boys, there is a total of 79 wins and a 46 score on setbacks.

Music

A fire whistle? No, that's just a clarinet in the music room. That's right; we have a band in Tingley high school. Not such a small on either or would you call twenty-one members small? They work and slave trying to hit the right note and at the same time trying to hold the temper. Then when success finally comes in hitting the correct note, they must begin concentrating on what it sounds like. Cornets for goodness sakes quit blasting. Let's have no more squeaks out of those clarinets. Bass drummer please don't play a syncopated rhythm on this march.

One of the most gratifying things about it all, is the interest taken in the band my the surrounding community. They first braved the glances of the public at the Junior Class play October 8, only two months after organization. They came away feeling pretty good about the compliments they had received. This inspired the members to get down to work even harder and they gave a half hour concert at the Activity Festival held March 4. At these public appearances each one felt he had a responsibility for the way things sounded. Some evidence of this might be the nervousness shown by some in bright red faces, others in their eyes sticking out a little farther than normal or a little excess quivering in tone. The fear came to an end with each person feeling he had really gained something from his experiences in THE BAND.

Members of the band are as follows: Cornets - Kenneth KIBURZ, Walter ZARR, Guy PETERS, Roberta REYNOLDS, Alan O'NEAL. Clarinets - Betty MARRS, Donna FERGUSON, Jack ENGLAND, Ann O'NEAL. Saxophones - Marlene GILES, Juanita DRAKE, Bobby LUPHER, Verlene HALM. Alto Horns - Marilyn KESTER, M. C. BEEN, Trombones - Lyla CLOUGH. Bass Horn - George PETERS. Drums - Suane OVERHOLTZER, Joan HANNAH, Linda Lou RICHARDS.

The boys and girls glee clubs are an established part of Tingley High School and this year they sallied forth again to render their part in the various activities of the community. P.T.A. has been almost an assigned job for us and if the boys appeared at the meeting with their suit jacket on it was certain they had a part in the program. The boys had a good sounding Glee Club and dome of the novelty numbers they presented were very well received by their audience.

One of the outstanding musical entertainments during the winter was the Christmas Cantata presented by the singers from the community and girls glee club. The girls also did some novelty numbers, dressing in the spirit of the song and acting them out. The glee clubs enjoyed doing these novelty numbers very much, whether the audience did or not is the question. Most of the boys and girls in high school belong to the glee club.

The children in the primary room always manage to have an interested audience, and this group with three girls and eighteen boys was no exception. In music they concentrated mostly on getting the rhythm of the music and at the February P.T.A. they showed off some of their skills by imitating animals to music. To further help them in acquiring rhythm they developed a rhythm band.

Some of the youngest members of the band come from the intermediate room and they really make interested members. This group has been working on folk games in their regular music periods. They entertained the Parents and Teacher of the community by doing the Virginia Reel and other folk dances at their meeting in April.

The Junior High Room has been interested in just plain singing with a few folk games and some instrumental music mixed in here and there. All in all the grades have been getting down "pat" the fundamentals of good music.

Music washes away from the soul of dust of everyday life.

Junior Class Play

The class of 1949 presented as their Junior class play the comedy "Two Days to Marry." They presented their play on October 9, 1947 at the Tingley theater under the direction of Mrs. KIBURZ.

The plot centered around the rich Mr. Dare who was to be married in two days if he was to receive the fortune from his uncle. He advertised in all the papers for a wife. He had his negro servants taking calls and answering the door bell, as the would to brides began to answer the advertisement. Miss McShane who was the former secretary of Mr. Dare's rich uncle chanced to call on her old friend in his hour of need. Their marriage the next day along with other events spiced the play.

The Activity Festival Play

Our activity fund was growing very low so to raise some money the Sophomore and Freshmen girls with some help from the Junior High girls whipped up a very comical play. Showing how gossip could fly about a neighborhood developing in a skyscraper tale. The play, "It Happens Every Day," was presented on March 4, 1948 and was directed by Mrs. KIBURZ.

"The Cardigan Kid"

For the athletic fun program the Junior High presented the "Cardigan Kid", directed by Mrs. PALMER, on March 4, 1948.

The plot centers around the publication of a kid newspaper in the loft of an old barn. The editor has a system; when he sees someone walking with the pretty ancient History teacher it doesn't take much persuasion to get the person to by twenty papers! The loft is all equipped for every occasion: when there's an unwelcome stranger he gets hit over the head and of course the wrong person gets batted. All the way through there were spicy events and the play proved to be very interesting.

Senior Class Play

The Senior Class of 1948 presented their play, "Good Gracious, Grandma," on April 16, under the direction of Mrs. Gladys KIBURZ.

"Synopsis"

Henry and George Breckenridge, cousins, with more ideas about how to spend money than how to earn it, find themselves temporarily....but definitely...in a state of financial embarrassment when their landlady, Mrs. Lennox, demands a deposit on long-overdue rent. Available money arrives by wire when an old family friend telegraphs expense money for Henry's father to entertain the friend's two daughters over a weekend. But father is on a trip to Mexico, and the girls are arriving and they need the money. The solution seems to be to pay a deposit on the rent and entertain the girls themselves. To keep them at the apartment, they need must have a chaperon. This obstacle is over come when P-Sam, the colored house-boy....who has no more brains than a mortal can have and still live......finds on the ground outside the apartment house a grey wig and a black dress. P-Sam's mother had always told him that what he found on the ground he could keep. The articles cause the birth of "Grandma", otherwise George, the perfect chaperon.

The girls arrive with their colored maid, Delicia, who make an instant hit with P-Sam. Both Helen and Cecile are drawn to "Grandma" especially Cecile, who makes "her" life bearable by kissing her every other moment. Henry and Helen soon find much in common and are progressing nicely when Mrs. Lennox, her suspicions aroused and her false hair missing, appears and demands explanations. Henry begins introductions and explanations.....each one becoming more involved and farther from the truth.

"Grandma" has a number of narrow escapes from discovery and is almost cornered when Mrs. Lennox calls in one exceedingly dump police investigator who is able to find out little except that "funny things" are going on....a fact that the audience has known since shortly after the curtain first went up.

"Grandma" finally has to disappear permanently....in order that Mrs. Lennox can have her clothes back..and George reappears in "her" place. Mrs. Lennox calls of the police. Helen forgives Henry for deceiving them, and Cecile learns that George's kisses are suspiciously like "Grandma's." Then Delicia, who has decided to make a matrimonial excursion with P-Sam, demands to be made an honest woman if there had been no real chaperon during the weekend. The idea is approved by the other girls and as the curtain falls on an extremely funny evening's entertainment, there are prospects of three sets of wedding bells ringing out....or three sets of necks wrung.

Senior Day

Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day!, was sung several times during our Senior Day, and was very appropriate as that twenty-eighth day of April was really a beauty. We chose Omaha, Nebraska as the site for our excursion. Our first stop was to be Father Flanagan's Boy's Town, just ten miles west of Omaha. We took a short-cut, got turned around, and lost our way, but finally landed at our goal. We were really impressed with the lay out in Boy's Town and found out some interesting facts about the management of the institution. By the time we had toured Boy's Town our stomachs were beginning to feel empty and it was decided to go into Omaha for dinner. Breakfast hour had been pretty early and we had done our best all morning trying not to piece as Mrs. KIBURZ, our class sponsor, had told us previously that she was buying our dinner, so we were really hungry. That fish that took fifteen minutes to fry made some appetites even more keen than others.

The afternoon was spent in an hour of shopping, a trip to the Joslyn Memorial, the Woodman of the World Building, and the Union Depot Museum. On our shopping tour we saw some mighty big stores, rode escalators and some of the more lucky ones of us came home with some new clothes. The $4,000,000 Joslyn Memorial was something to see with its forty different types of marble from all over the world. The Woodman Building, highest in Omaha, was our next stop. We saw many interesting articles at the Union Depot Museum.

We started home about five o'clock, ate our supper in Glenwood and stopped for a show, "The Bishop's Wife", in Red Oak. We arrived home a little late, a tired but happy group.

Junior-Senior Banquet

The Senior Class of 1948 was very enjoyably entertained by a cruise to Hawaii. We were accompanied on our trip by the Junior class and Faculty of Tingley School. Immediately on getting out of the water and onto the dry island of Hawaii, we were given that cordial Hawaiian welcome by receiving leis to put around our necks.

We began to look over our surroundings, and were very favorably impressed by the palm trees and the mellow Hawaiian moon rising over a typical grass hut. It pleased us to see that our hosts must have heard of us before, because they knew our class motto and had hung it in the west end of the island. They also seemed to know our favorite colors as rose and green were apparent all over the island.

The generous banquet was very well received by all. The food was excellently prepared by the mothers of the Juniors and served by two hula girls and two white trousered Hawaiian boys from the Freshman class. The toastmistress for the occasion was Evelyn VAN SICKLE. Words of welcome were extended to the Senior class by Harold GROUT and the response was given by Doyle REYNOLDS. The class history, the gossip, and the class prophecy were read by Betty MARRS, Marilyn KESTER, and Avery WOOLLUMS respectively. Upon leaving the banquet table we were entertained by the showing of three films.

We, as Seniors, would like to thank the Junior Class for the nice time shown us at the Junior-Senior Banquet.

Senior Class Will - 1948

We, the Seniors of Tingley High School, Ringgold County and State of Iowa, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in the manner following:

1st. We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid.

2nd. We give to Mrs. KIBURZ a library of poetry and an instrument that will keep track of all Tingley Hi students.

3rd. We give to Mr. VERPLOEGH, otherwise known as Howard, an "atomic" camera and a thousand films and another bookkeeping class like the one of '47 and '48.

4th. We give to Mr. BISSELL an encyclopedia on "History" and a travel booklet. Maybe we should include a "willow-switch" to go with the History encyclopedia.

5th. We give to the Junior Class of '48 our seats by the windows and hope that they enjoy looking out the windows as much as we have.

6th. We will our ability to act as dignified Seniors to the Sophomores and include a few of our brains to go with it.

7th. We will our ability to get along with the teachers to the Freshmen and hope they have as much luck and fun as we have had. (The teachers are not as ferocious as the look.)

We wish to dispose of our personal property in the manner following:

Doyle REYNOLDS wills his ability to get along with music teachers to Jack ENGLAND and Walter ZARR; his interest in baseball to Junior HAYS; and his basketball ability to Marlene GILES. As an after-thought he decided to bequeath his brains to Avery WOOLLUMS.

Kenneth KIBURZ wills his friendship with Mr. BISSELL, especially in band, to M. C. BEEN and Jack ENGLAND; and his paper route to anyone that wants it. After much consideration, Kenny decided to will his ability to get hurt in basketball games, but oh heck, why will anybody bad luck!! He wills his teeth to Marlene GILES in case she should happen to lose some of hers.

Marian O'NEAL wills her basketball ability to Lyla Dell CLOUGH and Roberta SWIGART; her artistic ability to Roberta REYNOLDS; and her Ford to Evelyn STEPHENS.

Betty MARRS bequeaths her blonde hair to Roberta REYNOLDS since blondes are in such demand; her serious nature to Charles GROUT and Donald NEFF; and her music ability to Bing CLYMER.

Donald CLOUSE wills his music ability to Evelyn DeVRIES; and his baseball ability to Charles GROUT and Roberta REYNOLDS, since he is a professional in both activities. He wills his good looks to June HAYS and George PETERS.

Keith VAN SICKLE bequeaths his ability to get into the assembly before the gong rings to Bill GOODWIN; his basketball ability to Harold GROUT; his dark hair to Marilyn KESTER; and his mustache to Walter ZARR and Avery WOOLLUMS - they might need it!

Dean VANDERPLUYM wills his bookkeeping books to Bill GOODWIN and his English books to Harold GROUT and Donald NEFF. Why do you want to get rid of your books, they surely aren't that heavy?! He wills his A's to Bing CLYMER and his perfect attendance to Charlotte PETERSOHN.

Juanita DRAKE wills her pop selling ability to Evelyn STEPHENS and George PETERS; her horn to Donald NEFF; and her friendship cares the aisle to Marilyn KESTER - I wonder who the friend is?

Doris ENGLAND wills her good grades to M. C. BEEN and Charlotte PETERSOHN; her ability to stand up while playing basketball to Evelyn DeVRIES; and her gum chewing ability to Mrs. KIBURZ and anyone else that wants it - maybe she had better include a package of gum with it.

Signed, sealed, published, and declared as our last will and testament by the Senior Class, in the presents of each other. In witness thereof our names are herewith subscribed.

Class Prophecy of 1958

After attending the American Institute of Business for a year I managed to secure a position as stenographer for the Mutual Life Insurance Company in New York City. This firm has been doing quite well and is now known as one of the richest organizations of New York. During the past ten years I have been working diligently and have been awarded a trip, with all expenses paid, to the West Coast. For this, I have to thank my boss, Mr. Kenneth I. KIBURZ, who has caused many "ohs" and "ahs" among the office staff, but who still remains a bachelor, though whose fault it is I don't know. (Maybe the solution lies back in Iowa in a little town by the name of Bedford, but there is only one person who can answer that - and I am not wanting to be fired!)

Given the remainder of the day off, I rushed home and started packing, which made me homesick for my old hometown of Tingley. My thoughts began reminding me of my old schoolmates and I musingly wondered if it were at all possible for me to run into a few of them - but who knows, miracles still happen.

Completing packing and still having the evening to spend in whatever manner I wished, I decided to attend the Broadway Opera, having never taken time nor money to attend one during all my years in New York. Calling a taxi, I soon arrived at the Opera house and was just seating myself when the first number was announced, a solo by Miss Betty MARRS, a mezzo soprano, not the most highly praised opera singer in New York. As this was quite a shock to me, apparently I had been neglecting my newspapers, which we were always instructed to read when I attended school. Betty sang several numbers during the opera, all of which were very beautiful.

Rushing backstage, immediately after the performance, I had a difficult time pushing my way through the boxes of flowers and candies of every kind, but I finally reached Betty, in person. We had a very friendly chat recalling many of our friends and good times. As I was preparing to leave, Betty mentioned something about leaving the next morning for California, where she was to perform a debut. After further inquiry, we decided to leave the next morning on the same plane.

We met the next morning at the airport and were on our way West, by ten o'clock, flying straight through to Chicago where we were to land for a couple of hours. We had just left the plane when who should we run into but Donald CLOUSE, who had brought his hogs to market. Donald purchased himself a ticket on the same plane on which we were traveling, and after eating our luncheon we returned to the plane. On the trip to Tingley, Donald informed us that they had built an airport on the same site southwest of town where the old one was located. When the plane landed Mrs. Donald CLOUSE, the former Juanita DRAKE, was there in an autogiromobile, which was the newest model in cars and planes. Donald said that they had just recently made the purchase and had not yet learned to operate the flying mechanism.

We gladly accepted Mrs. CLOUSE's invitation for dinner that evening. After enjoying a very delicious meal, we spent the evening in friendly conversation, learning that Juanita had attended the State Teachers College for four years, and since then has been teaching school, with housekeeping on sideline, at the Tingley Public School which has grown considerably larger. We also visited Dean VANDERPLUYM who had become the owner of a large farm near Tingley, and was the proud father of a bouncing baby boy, named Olin, in honor of Mr. BISSELL, as Dean has always wanted to be a musician. Mrs. VANDERPLUYM was the former Dolores SCHLAPIA.

Betty and I spent several days in Tingley renewing old acquaintances before we resumed our travels. But we took off one bright morning and reached Denver, Colorado, by noon, where we stopped so that we could visit the Weeda family, who we were told had bought a thousand acre ranch about ten miles from the city of Denver. We arranged with a taxi driver to drive us out. They were very much surprised when we drove in. Lloyd told us all about the ranching business while Mrs. WEEDA, the former Marian O'NEAL, entertained us with a delicious supper. We had a very lovely time except that we didn't get very much sleep as the children made so much noise - especially the triplets: Larry, Jerry, and Perry.

We spent a couple of days with the WEEDA's and then continued our trip to the West. We arrived in Hollywood in the evening and there Betty's sponsor was awaiting her arrival. I decided to accompany Betty on her debut, and had a very enjoyable time. Betty sang so well that a big producer in Seattle, Washington, made arrangements for her to appear on his show. We then left for Seattle and arrived there in a very short time. While we were wondering how we were going to spend our time. Betty recalled that someone in Tingley had told her that Doyle REYNOLDS had made his home in Seattle and had also given her his address. After calling a taxi, we were soon at his residence. Mrs. REYNOLDS, the former Dolores McCOMBS, gave us a hearty welcome and little Doyle Marian, Jr. entertained us for the afternoon, as Doyle was busy training his baseball boys, the Seattle Rainers, for the Pacific League Championship which was to be held the following week. Since Betty and I were to be in Seattle until that time we purchased tickets for the game. Doyle's Rainers proved to be what he had said they were - as that is all he talked about until that date!

Everyone was so happy about the winning of the game that we decided to spend the evening out. We went to the Seattle Streamlined Dinette and had just seated ourselves, when Doyle noticed, a few tables away, another rather expensively dressed couple that seemed very familiar. Then the man turned his head and at once we recognized Keith VAN SICKLE and his partner proved to be none other than the former Evelyn DEVRIES, now Mrs. VAN SICKLE. We then asked for tables that were closer together. Keith informed us that he and his wife owned a large hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah, and that

Class History

One bright, sunshiny fall morning, in 1936, twelve small boys and girls were seen eagerly making their way toward the Tingley School. They were Lillian BLUNCK, Melvin BUCHANAN, Marjorie Joyce EIGHME, Betty Lou HAMMOND, Billie HOGUE, Darold SMITH, Ercell Bert SHIELDS, Frank SWANSON, Avery WOOLLUMS, Dolores NULPH, Don SWANSON, and Terry SWIFT. In December, two new students were added to this list, Doyle REYNOLDS and Keith VAN SICKLE, who are now the only ones from this group that are with the Class of '48. Our teacher was Miss Donna ROBINSON, who made our work very interesting. Of course, the first year was the most exciting as there were so many new things to do and learn.

The second year showed a large increase in the class, there being nineteen pupils. School life proved to be a little more difficult this year, as we were no longer considered beginners. We managed to learn our ABC's without anyone getting a licking - maybe this was because we had the same teacher as the year before and she felt sorry for us. Who knows?

The third year introduced a new teacher, Miss Josephine EIGHME, and a new room. I guess the teachers thought we were growing, at least in height, for here the seats were bigger. This year showed a rather startling diminish in the enrollment, as there were only ten students with one new-comer, Virginia McCONNELL. We girls have often wondered why the boys had so much fun pulling her long, black braids. We always thought blondes were the preference.

The fourth year found us with about the same surroundings as the previous year. We have heard several people remark about how late it was when Keith got home from school during this year, and wondered if he was that much slower than the other pupils. How about this Keith?

Again in the fifth year we were allowed to change rooms and teachers. Our teacher had earnest, brown eyes and beautiful, soft brown hair and due to there facts, the boys seldom took their eyes off of her long enough to get their lessons. Oh yes, in case you wondered who the teacher was, she was Miss Mary Lou RUSK - but she is married now, boys.

When school opened in the sixth year, we had a membership of only six. Miss Rusk was still our reacher and the main ambition of the boys was to get into fights and thus get the teacher's attention. If you were hurt badly enough you might rate a kiss. Isn't that right boys?

During our seventh year, we must have been quite bad, as it required two teachers, Mrs. Edith OBERMEIER and Miss Saydmarie GARMIRE, to fill that position. The class members that year were Lillian BLUNCK, Milo BEEN, Doyle REYNOLDS, Keith VAN SICKLE, and Bobby STRINGHAM. La Vern HUNTSMAN was enrolled at the first of the year, but left later in the term.

With the coming of the eighth grade everybody studied very hard in order to pass those dreaded exams! That year we added Marian O'NEAL to our class and Doyle REYNOLDS left us for Seattle, WASHINGTON. Our teacher was Mr. Carter RAINS, who was very good natured and well-liked by all.

We were glad when school opened in the fall of 1944, even though we were considered as being quite green. We lived through initiation and finally decided that it wasn't so bad after all. Our class increased in size and the members were Milo BEEN, Lillian BLUNCK, Wayne COLLIER, Juanita DRAKE, Doris ENGLAND, Marian O'NEAL, Doyle REYNOLDS, Ramona REYNOLDS, Dean VANDERPLUYM, and Keith VAN SICKLE. Our teachers were Mr. VERPLOEGH, Mrs. SKINNER, and Mr. WISEMAN, Superintendent. The majority of the pupils in the class were enrolled in algebra, English, world history, and social science, Mrs. LUPHER was our music teacher, and under her supervision we began to acquire a basic knowledge of music. Mr. VERPLOEGH also began preparing us for our basketball career this year.

The tenth year opened with a new superintendent, Mrs. Glady KIBURZ, at the head of the school; and we also welcomed Kenneth KIBURZ into our midst. This year we did very little in the way of outside activities, but began taking our basketball and music very seriously. Under the direction of Mrs. McCAHON several of our members began their typing career. During this year a misfortune occurred which almost caused us to lose one of our members, Keith VAN SICKLE. But through the efforts of Mrs. KIBURZ, the school installed a radiophone enabling him to take part in the class discussions, and finish the year's work with his class.

When we entered our Junior year everyone was flying high and felt that he owned the world. We had several important occasions take place that year and had a lot of fun, even though we were so scared we could hardly talk. Putting on a class play proved to be a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed himself the evening of the play, after working so hard to learn his lines. We spent several days preparing for our Junior-Senior Banquet, but were fully repaid. We enjoyed everything so much, especially the delicious food, for the preparation of which we wish to thank our mothers. We also want to thank Mrs. KESTER and Mrs. BASTOW for giving us their time and help. Five of our members, Betty MARRS, Doris ENGLAND, Marian O'NEAL, Juanita DRAKE, and Kenneth KIBURZ, attended the Creston Music Festival, after receiving much helpful training from Mrs. LUPHER; and this proved to be a great experience and everyone had a grand time. Another accident happened again this year forcing Doyle REYNOLDS to be absent for several days. We added some new members to our roll, these being Betty MARRS, Donald CLOUSE, and Billie HOGUE.

We have all been looking forward to our year as Seniors and thought it would never come, but now we kind of wish we could turn "old man" time back just a few years. Everyone is working diligently this year to put a clean record on the files, but we also enjoy ourselves every once in awhile, too. Although our class may not be as large as it was when we first came up the steps back in '35, we are still proud of our members; who are Donald CLOUSE, Juanita DRAKE, Doris ENGLAND, Kenneth KIBURZ, Betty MARRS, Marian O'NEAL, Doyle REYNOLDS, Dean VANDERPLUYM, and Keith VAN SICKLE.

Mrs. KIBURZ has been with us for the last three years, and we have all benefited from her guidance and understanding. Mr. VERPLOEGH has been with us during our four high school years, and we have only one objection to his teaching - those quizzes that would pop up so unexpectedly and when you were the least prepared! Mr. BISSELL has enabled many of the students to become players of musical instruments and we have to thank him for our fine band. He has also help us to advance in our typing. Our janitor, Mr. WEEDA, has been with us during our entire twelve years, and we shall always remember him standing at the school house door waiting to give us a cheery welcome.

The Class of '48 has had its troubles, but we have also shared many happy occasions together which we will never forget. Our main ambition now is to succeed and to try to make the world a better place in which to live. We all plan to "Aim High" and hope to "hit our mark."
