28 HISTORY OF THE CLASS Oe FE ER, STE On September 8, 1932, eleven years ago, an important event took place. We, the pupils of the class of °43, then a somewhat frightened and bewildered group, all dressed up spic and span, were starting school. How- ever, in no time at all, it seemed, we had outgrown the BABY RAY PRIM- IR and we had become too old to play “Drop the Handkerchief” and “Fly Little Birdie, Fly Fly Away.’ We were growing up!

One day we were convinced that we had a genius in our midst when Beth and Mrs. Steele were the only two who got the same answer to one of those terrible problems. However, Annette proved to the world that they were both wrong. Then there was the time when Betty Ann and Hannah absolutely shocked the modesty of the other girls by wearing a dab of lip- stick.
