N W. H. S. THE ECHO Page 17 Class History I n1ustn't forget to tell you about what happened the other evening. I was invited to dinner by some middle-aged folks who lived close to our camp. What a swell meal it was, too. I'll never forget how nice they were to me Well, anyhow, after we finished eating, tl should say stuffing ourselves J we strolled outside to enjoy whatever cool, refreshing, May breeze there was available. We began to talk first about current affairs, then the conversation switched to school days gone by. When I told them I had gone to New Windsor School, they said, What a quaint name! Do tell us all about what you did when you went theref, So I began: Nothing particularly important or interesting happened during my elementary years, except that I had the usual measles, mumps and whatever else kids get at that stage. The day I became a freshman was when I began to feel excited about school life and school work for the first time. As I look back now, I must have been awfully green but I thought I was something then. I remember I got up early so I would have plenty of time to do my chores, dress, eat breakfast and meet the bus. When the bus finally slowed down and stopped in front of the school, I was trembling with excitement. As I stepped off the vehicle, I discovered some other freshiesf' and we stumbled bewilderedly to the third floor of the building. While making our way down the hall, we glanced in room after room in an effort to locate some familiar face who could tell us where our homeroom would be. All of a sudden we found it. The other kids shouted a welcome and said our homeroom teacher was Miss Thompson. What a time we all had that day and the ensuing week trying to change classes correctly. Gradually it became a mere incidental in our daily lives and we thought nothing of it. The class was so large that it was divided into two sections with Miss Stine as the homeroom teacher for the other half. It seemed to us at the offset of our high school career that four years was a long time before we would graduate. But, zip, the Hrst year had passed before we realized it. As sophomores, we began to feel we were getting somewhere. How funny and conspicuous the new class of freshies looked to us now. But then someone was al- ways calling us 4' silly sophomores -which was really just as bad as freshies l' and more of an injustice. This year Cap. Weigle was our homeroom teacher. Things went along pretty smoothly all year. What with studying, basketball and the like. the year had gone already. We then enjoyed life as jolly juniorsf, At last we were next in rank to the Seniors and could enjoy a few extra privileges. Mrs. Hood, a new member of the faculty, was our homeroom teacher that year.
