Doris Van Allen Valedi ctorian P Wh 1 'E5i.iQ....5.f.e' CLASS HISTIIHY .The town of Warsaw would really have been interested to watch the Class of '52 make its way from Klndergarleh to Graduation. For them, we have prepared this class history. We first entered school with Miss Myers as our teacher. We were very roud of our Rh thm Band, but anyone who might have been walking through the halls probably wondered, where the 8Wgll noise came from. We had a great deal of fun and spent much time playing in the sandpile. After a while we got tired, so we took out our pretty ru s and went to sleep. Then came the wonderfuf day when we were in first grade. Miss Wells was our teacher, and she must have been amused to see how we showed off our prowess in front of the lowly kindergarten. By the way, who colored their teeth all different colors? ' In second grade Miss Charles and Miss Lester tried to teach us phonetics. We also had spelling bees in which Doris had nice times. We began to show our brains in our hard, hard lessons. Among those we welcomed in third grade was Jim Vosburgh. Mary Lou Clark had quite a crush on Bob Younger. Warren Rider amazed all the little girls too. In ourth grade Miss Donlon and Miss Canty suffered with us. Don Austin and John Mulcahy joined us. Is it any wonder how everyone who sat around Doris ot such good ma.rks??? In fifth grade Tuffy Chase, Betty Weiser, Doug Hofmes, Kay Willse, and Liz Ball entered our class. Ann gmliury and Warren Rider had fun holding hands while the rest of us had to listen to Maida's Little oo s. Miss Affleck welcomed us in sixth grade. Warren Rider brought flowers to the teacher and wrote notes to a different girl every day. We also went on a trip. Finally came seventh grade and the chance to sit in study hall. Anita and Romona Crane came. The teachers wanted to amuse us while the boys had gym, so Mary Ellen Reade tried to walk on her hands. Sheila had quite a crush on Ralph Mucher. In eighth grade Stuart Watt, Pe gy Wheeler, and Shirley Appleby came. We had a hard time learning the Constitution. In December we made Christmas wreaths. We started a class book but never finished it. We also had a picnic in the park. The biggest event of eighth grade, though, was the time Bill Smallwood had to kiss Betty Weiser in the play, which we put on in study hall. Thanks to Mrs. Lap and Miss Miller we passed our regents and entered high school. We were very proud of ourselves and liketfato watch the envious e es of the lowly eighth graders. ln our Freshman year Pat and Junior, and kay and Donn began going together. We had our first strug- gles in Latin. The boys were in Mr. Stetz's homeroom, and they emptied a ful box of new erasers down the ventilator. Maybe this is the way they developed their skill of sinking basketballs for the team. We were all ve sorry to see Mr. Stetz leave. We 'first organized when we were Sophomores. Phyllis Neeley was president. We held a St. Patrick's dance which was ite successful as our first attempt at making money. Somehow Stuart's books were always missing in Rice's homeroom. In our Junior year, we welcomed Joan Carney to our class. Anita was president of the class that YOU: with Bill Smallwo od and Phyllis Neeley as standard bearers. We held our Prom in November with Dancing In The Dark as our theme. We thought our rings would never get here, but when they did, we really wse proud of them. We all were disappointed the day of the junior-Senior picnic, because it rained. Howevu, by the time we got to Buffalo, the sun was shining. Finally we got home about midnight, tired and broke, but full of a feeling of admiration for the Seniors, and v , ve happy. In September came the big day. We marched in thgrh-ont 'door and up to Mrs. Rice's room. Bill Smallwood was elected resident of the class. We spent most of our days watchm traffic up and down Buffalo Street. We had our inior Play, A Case of Springtime, on November 2. We had a great deal of fun doing it, but we held our breaths when Bill put the hat with the egg in it on his head. At times people have wondered about our class, but we feel sure that now we are Seniors, they have no cause to worry. Looking forward to The Ball, Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Graduation, we hope and feel that the Class of '52 has been a credit to Warsaw. 24
