CLASS IIISTIIR Now that our thirteen years of friendship and amicability have come to a pause, we, the Class of 1957. look back through the past to the beginning of our educational instruction. During our first year of schooling we became acquainted with our teachers, Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Allen. Our naps became a daily ritual along with our exercises on the jungle gym. We all quivered with excitement when we celebrated our first Valentinels party with goodies furnished by our mothers. Being promoted into first grade led us all into thinking that we were well on the way to being scholars. This was the first year that we had been separated into smallerrooms. To our amazement we found that we could print our names after much help from our patient teachers. The memory of fat green pencils and yellow paper will always be associated with our first printing attempts. We continued our napping periods and enjoyed music hour when we practiced rhythm with wooden sticks and triangles. Our seed selling campaign of second grade earned us prestige toward being future salesmen. We began to thrill to the stories of the Dick and Jane series as our reading gained volume and variety. Yearly plays began to be a highlight in our rooms. One such as 4'Little Red Riding Hood , was presented in Mrs. Adamis room to the enthusiastic applause of all. The highlight of our third year in elementary school was 'gPeter Rabbitn, a puppet show, given by Miss Bush's room. Multiplication and division entered our young minds for the first time, and writing in longhand was practiced. Miss Steger helped us to design and paint murals for decoration in the halls while Mrs. Olive Whiting helped us to appreciate the world of music. Our fourth grade proved to be completely filled with surprises and wonders. A new boy entered our class named Vitauts Alks. who had come to America from Latvia. How fascinating he was! Embarrassed Butchie Hanlon also entered the elementary school, later to be our President. This year was spent participating in everything from building bird houses to nature trips to the Sinking Pond with Mrs. Bartram. Many of us won prizes from the Buffalo Museum of Science on composi- tions about nature and her surroundings. Our social life showed a promising begin- ning that year. Fifth grade opened with the presentation of Hansel and Gretel as the operetta in which many of us performed. Mr. Brown, our first male teacher proved to be a friend to all of us. Mrs. Boldt's pupils became experts in weaving rugs and the mak- ing of other handicraft. Clyde Glasser displayed his talents by playing his accordion in the play that Mrs. Bechtells room presented. The students of this room also became more conscientious about their spelling when she began to give them African shells for perfect spelling tests. Many races between both sexes were seen in the cloak rooms during recess. Sixth grade was the senior year of elementary school and we all felt very import- ant. We now took part in the Service Club under the direction of Mrs. Pauline Whiting. During the activity we learned to accept responsibility and to be reliable. As in every year before, we completed our parents' Christmas presents, of wrapping paper made by stenciling. Many of us watched the MacArthur Homecoming at Miss Clarkis home on her new television set. The highlight of the year came in ,lune when we had Moving-Up Day. We all knew that soon we would be in Junior High School with all its glories. As we entered seventh grade, we became acquainted with parliamentary proced- ure and elected Butch Hanlon the president of our class. We all took part in pro- moting the victory of Tim Donovan as Student Council President. The first event in which we were included was our roller skating party at Creekside. 'Most of the class continued their musical career and advanced to the seventh grade chorus under the able direction of Mr. Elwood Eaton. As is found in every grade in high school, HOMEWORK became the cry of complaint of all of us. The sophomores of East Aurora High School helped us tremendously by appearing in our homerooms and answering questions. Our general language course made known to us the romantic languages but later the majority continued their study of Latin. A field trip to Letch- worth State Park was enjoyed by all during the fall. Points of historical interest werevisited and the refreshment stands were well populated.
