Another year has passed. .Although this vear was the end of many things, it was also a beginning. Looking back to elementary, it is easy to see the great progress and change which so many people have experienced. In kindergarten learning consisted of crayons, sharing, and making the decision whether to paint or plav in the doll comer on a particular day. As reading, writing, and rithmetic joined the child’s knowledge, so did the experiences of growing up. .Although it was difficult at the time, it seems like ages since there was a field trip to the zoo, or Paradise Island on television was part of the curriculum. At that time homework was fun, and it gave that “grown-up feeling. One of the greatest things about elementary school was that everyone was friends ... it is sad to think that some people will graduate not having talked to some of their best friends since sixth grade ...

... It is fun to reminisce, not only about school work, but also about other aspects of growing up in school with others. Think of the good times when love potions conquered heart pangs and holding hands was the limit. And what about clothes? Then they were judged by who had the biggest bells or the shortest skirt. Even the language has changed — “Wow, man, that’s groovy baby!” Music was also a part of elementary life. It is hard to imagine having an assembly now just for singing “Jeremiah Was a Bull Frog.” That was also when the new band and orchestra members would try out their new skills at the Christmas concert and no one could tell which carol they were playing. Next came junior high; that chronic puberty age which though enjoyable for some, many would like to pass. Seventh grade was the big step from the high position of the sixth grade leaders to one of many strangers. All schools joined, and though class rotation was old to Cassingham goers, it was new for the others. There was a mad rush for finding friends, and going to the dermatologist, but finally high school came. Even that is over now for the seniors Eating is only part of lunch, as Carolyn Moody and Brenda Barkeloo gossip between gulps. During a physics lab, Brook Holley, Julie Hendershot, and Atchie Atcheson discuss problems. Although there is snow outside, Charlie Fraas thinks it is spring time.
