College Elementary School

COLLEGE EL SIXTH GRADE CLASS OF 1953

The following list was first based upon:

YEARBOOK 1951-1952
Central Michigan College of Education Parent-Teacher Association College Elementary and Junior High School

However, as students went and came during the potentially eight years at College El, this list is bound to be inaccurate in many instances both in inclusions and in omissions as a record of the "graduating year," 1953.   I have taken the list of fifth graders in fall, 1951 and supposed them all in the sixth grade class of (spring) 1953.  Corrections are, as always, most welcome.

(Listed as 5th graders, 1951-1952, supplemented with information from Dana Sudborough, who has a [unfortunately unreproducable] picture of his sixth grade class and names as follows:  Rusch Dees, myself, Jack Serier (deceased), Dan Moss, Hugh McNichol, Jim Markle, Sharon Lyon, Polly (or Holly) Smith, Jeanette Armstrong, Barbara Schmidt, Barbara Elkins, Donna Pierce, Russell Messersmith, Dennis Wright, Dick Ervin, John Hartman, Ruth Lamont, Margo Helber, Carolyn Russell, Bob Brust, Steve Hall [deceased], Tom Rand, Martha Gunton, Steve Mitchell, David Wilson, David Peterson, Carol Zeoli, Jean Hanson)
