MISS OILEARY HELPED US THROUGH THESE TRYING DAYS, AND SENT US ON TO THE SECOND GRADE WITH EAGER ANTICIPATION OF WHAT WAS TO COME WE STRUGGLED THROUGH THE SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES CONSTANTLY PICKING UP NEW MEMBERS, SUCH AS DICK MONKELIEN, DOROTHY GROSVEIOR AND DROPPING OLD ONES SIXTH GRADE WAS HIGH LIGHTED BY MISS OLERICH AND MISS BUUS THAT YEAR WE PICKED UP RUTH JOHNSTON, BOB

OUR EYES, EIGHTH MAKING THE OF OUR B T UNFORTUNATE IN THE EYES OF OUR TEACHERS, O BE INCLUDED IN THE JR HI H HOW WE HATED THOSE ENGLISH CLASS WHAT FUN WE HAD DISTURBING THE ASSEMBLY BY DOWN THE RADIATORSIII THE JR HIGH ASSEMBLY, SO WE WERE STILL UNDERCLASSMEN ONE WE HAD TWO NEW TEACHERS, MISS LOVE AND MISS WEGAND HOW GRADERS WHEN THEY SAT AND WATCHED OUR NOISE WHEN RUNNING OUR PENCILS UP AND
