CLASS lf-lIllSTCOJlRY N a crisp September morning in 1932, ten of the present sixth forrners wandered bewilderedly into lvfiss Greenleafls room. After looking bashfully at each other for some time, they began to play, and soon were throwing sand into each other's eyes and ears like old friends. This motley crew included the socialite two-foot Boynton, that fat little pusher, Cuffy Williams, tall and silent John Kyfiin, un- combed Dick Bacon, the pudgy rascal, Avery Fullerton, the sly lad in the hip boots, Mouse Mardeng the muscular ape, Tony Sporborg, that handsome scoundrel with the cute sm-ile, Chuck Stevens, that slight but durable will-o-the-wisp, Dave Pike, and last but never least, the tiny executive, Fat-Man Morris. That First day was the beginning for a class long to be remembezed at the Academy. We found a practically new building and proceeded to use it roughly during the whole of our thirteen years in the school. And so, from Miss Greanleaf we passed on to the first grade, where under Miss McCormick we were joined by two muscular lads, Tom Proctor,' Gamble and I-lil Greeley. In the next year we met the first of those two frank teachers who expressed their honest opinion of us. Miss Davenport called us the worst second grade she could remember, and that included three years in a steel-mill town. In the third grade, we met Miss Russell and learned spelling, the multiplication table and a lot of other things too. During 1936, we were coached by Miss Swantee and had our first picnic at Bacon's sandy but Hgee, it's niceu Queechy Lake. The next year saw a small boy wander into our midst as Tyler Headley joined the miscreants. That same year Miss Davenport had her second inning, but we were older and much wiser', and managed to escape with only a little of that red stain. We also met Miss Davis that same year and really began to learn history. In the sixth grade we reached the sum- mit of the lower school and were fast becoming uneasy about that frightening word which was whispered behind closed doors only, Drill',. During the reign of Miss Snively and Miss jordan, we were enlarged by the two muscle-boys, Scholtz and Moessinger. That same year, George Ross entered the ranks and distinguished himself by breaking a window and chasing us all madly around with a chair. Detail, attennun-shun! This is the worst Gompany G welve ever seen, rasped the voices of our zealous instructors. We thought we'd never learn the intricacies of rig-ht turn, and they must have been sure of it. After our first year as Upper Schoolmen, Dr. McCormick left, and although disappointed by his de- parture, we remained to witness carefree days under Mr. Stetson and knew we had 44 22 PD
