Reminiscing It seems like only yesterday--------------------------- Across the way in Edison Grade School the class of 1963 began. There we started our climb up the ladder of preparation. Look up, youthful Americans, in twelve short years the future is yours. But never fail, after the ladder is scaled, to look back and recall a memory. Little Jimmy slipped and fell on the ice at the east entrance of the grade school; he was out cold for an hour. Many times he was laid out, if not by the ice, then a hard ball, a base- ball bat or a doubled up fist. At recess the first ones out could have the little merry-go-round to themselves the whole period. And oh, those hips and knees that were skinned trying to hook it. Mr. Wren used to call our little rosy cheeked Sherry Frosty the Snowman.” Mrs. Bryce, our first grade teacher, made Marian wear gum on her nose. Every night after school, Evelyn Bowerman would chase Toni home from school and beat her up. But Doratha began walking home with Toni and Evelyn steered clear because she didn't care to mix with Dot. Joyce broke both arms; being completely helpless, someone had to wash, feed, and dress her. Mr. Sprout, our music teacher, gave Tom a dutch rub that made his head bleed. Nadine and Cote were the queen and king of the school Christmas program, The Twelve Days of Christmas, ” our eighth grade year. Madge was the one who could never dent the trampoline by jumping on it. Judy Kay was never able to swing straight on the suspended rings in the grade school gym, so she was our clown when it came time for the gym circus. Billy received the American Legion award for best all-around student of our eighth grade. Judy Pat rode on a suitcase in the middle of the bus aisle all the way to Denver for our junior high class trip. Alan's nickname with the kids was Blow-torch, I guess it was because he moved with such drive and great vigor. John was the Dobie Gillis of the class, every week he had a different love. Earl was the farm boy who loved to square dance. Many times he would give a girl a whirl but it wasn't always on a dance floor. Helen was our farm girl who could run through stubble barefoot, drive farm machinery, and slop the hogs better than any professional hog slopper. And Mary will always be remembered as sweet, effervescent, slightly naive and an excellent teacher of the talogie. Good ole Miz Yoast let us get away with murder. Our eighth grade graduation was important to every one of us. The only thing we didn’t like was singing our class song to the tune of I Been Workin' on the Railroad. In high school some of our closest friends left us: Jim, Doyle, Sharon and Fred. Sherry had a terrible accident. And Mrs. Morgan threw away our first class constitution that we wanted to frame. Pat and Ethel, who couldn't make up their minds where to settle down and finish school, came and went; and in '61 came again, this time to stay until graduation. Harry, Bobby and Eddie stuck by each other through thick or thin and what one would do the other two would follow. The three musketeers were what the faculty called them. The class of 1963 grew each year. As juniors we were fortunate to gain Jim Lister, the easy going guy that everybody likes. And in our Senior Year Roger entered our class. He went out for sports and joined the speech club. We are glad to have him in our midst. Ah, yes, we'll remember yesterday because the things that happened yesterday happened to us, they were actual and no matter how far these years get behind us we can always recall the memory. Class of '63 I wish us luck. Tomorrow depends on us and many like us. Tomorrow is not another day, it's here; and we had better grab hold and plant our feet before it passes us by. Written by:
