Home W' 1934: Dear Diary: We're sixty bewildf ered first graders and we're going on a searching party together. Yes, we are: be' cause Teacher said so. We're starting on a twelve year hunt in search of knowledge. Will it be fun? And where will we find this knowledge? Oh well, right now we're too busy coloring pictures, pasting cutfouts, and playing to worry about a twelve year knowledge hunt. Now if it were a treasure hunt .... 1936: We're third graders and pretty im' portant people this year. We're learning the multiplication tables and that's some' thing, because the teacher said there are kids older than we who still do not know the multiplication tables. And we have lots of books to carry home every night. It's fun taking books home whether we have homework or not. All the big kids laugh at us and say, Just wait until you're in high school! Now what do they mean by that? And what's a high school? Do they call it that because it's upstairs? 1938: Whoopee! We're on the top floor now! And what fun! Besides that we have four teachers now. But there's one thing wrong with this set up: and that's the extra work involved. We're expected to spend more time studying and then, too, it's going to be pretty hard behaving for four teachers instead of one. If they'll just give us time to get used to this change-say a year or two . . . 1941: As eighth graders we have just sponsored a show at the Elstun Theater to earn money for our educational tour. We are going to Taft Museum and the Coca' Cola plant, and we're going to take a train ride. For some it will be our first train ride. And, oh yes, we're going to visit the work' house, which should be very interesting. 1942: We're Freshies, mute inglorious Freshiesf' and this business of being a freshman can be very confusing at times. Half our time is spent in wandering around the halls in search of everfreceding class' rooms and in collecting demerits and ND. T's on the way. There seems to be very little time for the demands of English I and ancient history. Insignificant as we are, we're nevertheless continually harassed by haugh upperfclassmen. Things look very dreary for us now, and if we survive inf itiation day, we are not going to be mean to the poor Freshies next year. 1943: We are now very busy looking over the new batch of Freshmen, with a fiendish gleam in our collective eye. Whazt a chance to display our originality! Bib, bottles, rattles, baby buggies . . . no, that might be carrying it too far. But initiation isn't the only thing on our minds. Latin and algebra have begun a vigorous battle against us and we are pretty busy trying to master Caesar, the Romans, Euclid, and algebraic terms and still keep our sanity. 1946: Now after the years of mingled work and play we are about to graduate. Anderson has offered to us all she has and we have accepted what we wanted and needed.
