Class History '43 May we first explain that from many and varied sources we have recently heard that we are and have been for some time considered a fine, even remarkable, class. Now, to the members themselves this seems at times most strange. Therefore it is with this surprising thing in mind that we now review highlights of our past history as members of. the class of '4-3. From now on, recall and remember. The whole thing started in l93l with first-grade sessions held in a brand new building on Academy Road-the first class to spend its entire life in the new plant. The beginning of that famous group of operettas brought us to the fore as the first of a long line of solid, female chorus gangs. We were the first to print a Prep News with a red cover, a truly marvelous thing backed up by fifty dollars' worth of advertising! The one thing we did miss was the merger-need more be said? Visions appeared of green-Clad girls running about the halls. Some liked the idea. We won't brand them here by giving names, but one can know instantly who the offenders were by a brief study of certain students, activities at dances and other like social affairs. Before continuing on to events which do not center so much in the advancement of the school but more on the life of the class, the question of the roster comes up as a necessary starting point. The original nucleus in ,151 consisted of but eight of those now amongst us: Spor , Hack , Slouse , Dat Democrat, Donald Shoren, Lazy Man, Walk , and Wee Willwy Gweewyn. To these was added Will'l Sill in the Second Grade, Sabu in the Third, 'fWoodiel' in the Fourth, and Mort', in the Fifth. Our last year as Lower Schoolers brought us R.C. , Beef Boyn, and two different I-Iarrys . Scared to death as Upper Schoolers, we were joined by The Wit, Pete ,'and Marv , Next came Claus and Big LaRRRH in the Second Form and Ack , The Militarist, Davyl', Arthurmometer , and Naggiel' in the Third. The Fourth Form swung into our line still more, Tomar',, Herb , and Gabby . And coming into the last stretch, we received R.P.',, Dirk , TonKie'l, 'KRosey , Pete T. , Fred'l, in the Fifth Form and f'Hanz,l, Ken'l, Ralph',, and ujohnnie-abb in the Sixth. There they are, folks-step right up, only one thin dime, they walk, they talk, and they wiggle. But, let us stop here and reminisce among some of our past experiences. The big night of The Mikadon had the humble chorus running down a little ramp onto the stage. How we did enjoy salaaming to the high muckie muck! No one could see us way back there so we had a great time chatting while the Mikado,, struttecl about with that little black tassel dangling before his noble face .... Then there was the annual picnic at Flat Rock. Good old Flat Rock with its many potholes! Un which we managed to swim. Look out, there's Miss Davenportlj Sixth Grade year, the big affair was held at a classmate's farm. We never could figure out why those people kept their horses right in the house with them .... Gad, but that doc', fellow could scare us! Remember that two-finger whistle he used to use to attract attention and that shiny pen and pencil set we gave him to inscribe his Gone with the Windy. The next year brought the Middle School arrangement with some of us with Mr. Crawford. I just took your picture, that'll be two goose eggs? 44 26 PP
