Memories Looking into the beginning pages of the history of the class of 1945, we note one of the fourth grade entrees with the title The Christmas Bunny appearing in bold letters. All this happened back in l937 when our class of '45 was taking its place in the upper halls of the Grade and lunior High School building. Dainty dolls, fairies, Red Riding Hoods and brownies made up most of the cast. Those playing the parts of the beautiful dolls, created by Santa Claus iBob McDonaldl were as follows: binnie Lee Wood, Teddy layne Gill. Virginia Wagner, Bette Tate, Leta Huntley, Alyce McGuirk. Bonnie Lenke, Patricia Ament, Irene Wood, lris McGetrick, Berniece Nxfalck, and Velma Bertholf. Those little creatures of the mystic world. so commonly called fairies, were played by the following girls: Juanita Manning, Mary Pat Mullen, Margaret Mitchell, Edna Mathews, Delia lant- zen, Della Van Qver, and Wanda Abshire. Most us of seem to think that there was only one Red Riding Hood, but, to be different they had six. Thev were Loretta Mathews, Clara Wise, Margaret Mathews, Mary Manning. Mary Edna Archaleta, and Mary Sweeney. The brownies, those industrious little helpers of Santa, were Billv Joe Wallace, Fred Hinman, Paul Toomey, Ed Holland, -lack Smith, Erwin Cramp, Chester Brown, Ted Lough. Benny Romero, Bill Fender, Conway Clarke, Vernon Duffy, Gordon Downing, Lawrence Rovedo, Bob Baker, Gene Osbourne, and Lawrence Bukowlch. Two other leads were Harrier Clark, the Snow Queen of the fairies, and LaVerne Buckles, the rabbit who wound up the mechanical dolls. Mrs. K. L. Moriarty flvlary McCvuirkl was the sponsor.
