or drifted away while some have
passed on. Their teacher, Mrs. Ire
land, has been very faithful teach
er and member of this Church. In
1915, her husband, Walter Ireland,
was elected S. S. Supt and held
this office until 1926, at which time
he passed away. After his passing,
Mrs. Ireland left our community
and went to West Virginia to her
parents. In 1929, she went to Ak
ron, Ohio. and there married Wal
ter Sherwood who was Supt. of
Junior Department and also S. S.
teacher of the North Hill Methodist
Church. Mrs. Sherwood became a
teacher also. After his passing, she
came back to Delaware in March,
1916. She was more than welcomed
back in our Church. as she was a
wonderful person and teacher and
lived as she taught.
In 1918, with Mrs. Truitt as our
/ teacher, we organized our class,
and named it the Sunbeam S. S.
Glass and selected as our class
song, "I'll Be A Sunbeam. We
held our business meetings on the
first Saturday afternoon of each
month. Mia Clendaniel would drive
her horse and dirbon and pick up
/ the girls and journey on to the
meeting. What fun we girls did
have In 1924, Mrs. Mae Shew was
our teacher. By this time, Mia and
Bernice had obtained their drivers
| license. They would take turns
driving their cars and picking up
us girls and going to the meetings.
We then changed our meetings to
| the first Monday night of each
month. Mrs. Shew was a very good
and faithful teacher. She taught us
until 1929. Maggie Derrickson then
took the class until 1881. While
Mrs. DerricksOn was our teacher,
we decided to have doggie roast
lone year at Slaughter Beach. After
we reached our destination, a
| thunder storm arose; then we came
back to Mia Clendaniers house and
cooked the dOggies on top of the
stove We had fun just the same.
In 1881, Mrs. Mae Johnson replaced
Mrs. Derrickson as teacher. She
taught for II years until her health
failed. She was wonderful teach
er and took so much interest in the
class. At one time our class was
called the children's class as we
all had small babies. Mrs. Johnson
always called us "her girls.
We changed our business meet
ing night from Monday until Tues
day of each month. and have con-
tinued to do so since that time. We
also chose a new class song called
"Our Best. In 1943 our class plac-
ed song books in the Church School
our class put them in again in
1858. We were very proud to do this
for ,ur Sunday School. In 1882 our
class gave a play to raise money
for our class treasure which was
held in the Lincoln School Audi
torium. 1t was loads of fun, also
lot of hard work.
In 1853 our class decided to sell
plates with the picture of the
Church on them. Jessify Macklin
was in charge of getting them and
Calvin Clendaniel took the picture
of the Church to be put OH the
plates. On the back of the plate
I names of the class members and
the teacher were inscribed, also
Rev. w. H. Revelle, ST., who was
our minister and Douglas Morgan
who was our Sunday School Super
intendent.
When Mrs. johnson gave up
teaching due to her health, we had
a series of teachers, Mrs. Opal Ca
son, Mrs. Minnie Sherwood, and
Mrs. Mamie Burns until 1854 when
Mrs. Elizabeth Clendaniel became
our teacher. At present, there are
three girls still in our class since
1918, namely, Bernice Donovan
Morgan, Mabel Savage Benson, and
Irma Dawson Beebe. We are very
proud of our class which numbers
43 at present. New members are al
ways welconed. Our new class song
which we selected in 1859 is en-
titled Each Step l Take.
