Book II Knowledge and Looking Backward Along The Trail In the fall of 1933, twenty-seven frightened children marched solemnly into the huge grade school of Ferndale, holding tightly to their mothers' hands. Miss Gunderson, our lst grade teacher, greeted us, being Las we thoughtj very kind and sympathetic. Just think, twelve dark school years lay before us! We went through the usual first grade proceedings learning the alphabet, reading Qwhile standing on chairsj to other grades, etc. As we walked proudly into the 2nd grade, our first thought was, Where shall we sit? CRemember that year, kids, all the girls were chasing' that Romeo -Don Bringlj That was the year we got our first parts in, The Pied Piperniwe were all mice, remember? Our tails kept falling off! Our teacher that year was Miss Larson. In the 3rd grade we were kept busy making Indian pottery out of clay. Miss Jeffcott was our teacher. In the 4th grade, with Miss Hawkins as our teacher, we learned the good old mul- tiplication tables. We also made scrolls, and drew pictures of Columbus. We gave an Easter play for our parents that year. We found as we con- tinued, that school was becoming increasingly difficult. In the 5th grade, Miss Cress taught us division and fractions. We outlined our whole hi- tory book that year. We gave a number of plays, also. Miss Anderson was our 6th grade teacher. This year we did a Scotch scene in the All School Review. Margaret Ulrich, DeLores Bohn, Eleanor Scrimsher, Donna Lee Boraker, Mary Dubb, and Marilyn Moles pleased the audience with the Highland Fling. We experienced a great thrill when we entered upon the departmental system in the 7th grade. Our teachers were Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shelton, Miss Mayhew, and Miss Blair. Playing marbles was the rage that year. We also had ball games with other schools. The next year we moved up to the Junior High. We thought that since we were the first class to go into the new Junior High we would try and set a good example for the coming classes. Our class was very active during the 9th grade. We successfully put over a 9th grade carnival. The Junior High also had a review that year, with Valgene Stark, Bob Fitzgerald, and Glenn Bergh having leading parts. At last we reached our sophomore year, greenhorns to be sure, but sophomores anyhow. We were duly initiated, but lived through it surpris- ingly well. This was the year so many pupils in our class fell in love. Juniors-one year to go!-We were the class that revived the old tradition of a Junior and Senior Banquet. Seniors at last. Tl1e great year is here. We were kept quite busy taking part in all the activities that Seniors must-Senior Class Play, Senior Sneak Day, Junior and Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate and finally-Gradu'ation. A great, long to he remembered day. Don't let us kid you though, we'll miss the grand old school and all the teachers too. A-ELSIE PHIEFER
