CLASS HISTORY In 1944 we all entered kindergarten, happy, noisy and ready for anything - except Kathy Eddy who would not stay and finally dropped out altogether. The first grade was quite an eventful year with a tea for our parents and all the girls fighting over Ronnie Holmes. It was in vain too, for he walked Barbara Hayes home every night after school. Avis Wolcott became known as the Class Window Breaker, for she had the knack of a.l- ways throwing stones in the wrong direction - toward the boys' basement. In the second grade we had an entertaining year with Miss Charles who acted out the stories as she read to us. This was the year we learned how to improve our writing and to use pen and ink. Later we regretted using the ink, for if we shook our pens, the mess had to be cleaned up. Nancy Eisenhard was considered the Class Brownnose in the third grade, because Miss Dick gave her a quarter for the use of her father's adding machine. The entire class was jealous - after all, we liked ice cream too! At the end of the year Miss Dick gave us a party and dressed up two boys as girls. Didn't Gordie and Kyle look cute in frills? We were separated into two home rooms in the fourth grade under Miss Donlon and Miss Canty. I am sure Ann Fehrenbach will never forget the close shave she got when Miss Donlon aimed for her hand and missed it, only to break the ruler on a nearby desk. That year, when Roge Brei and jim Alfieri left us, Connie Foote and Ann were were so sad at the loss of the two that they lay down on their desks and pretended to cry. The fifth grade under Miss Schlegel and Mrs. Gardner was quite a busy year, for we made salt maps, which most of our mothers remember better than we do. The sixth grade was the start of an occupation which many of us began then - daydreaming - and which some have never outgrown. We also entered the boy crazy stage. Every day before school started we played tag, which really was a form of boy chasing. Maybe it was all this atten- tion that drove Stan Fuller, Pete Zydel, and Bob Neff and their gang to state that they were going to move to the mountains right after graduation and never come down so they wouldn't have to see another girl. 1 Only a few more months now and and we'll have to say goodbye J. In the seventh grade we took our first step toward high school. The year was a little mixed up at first. Some of us started with Mr. Wagenblass, only to lose him when he was transferred to the eighth grade. It was a great blow, for he was our first man teacher. We used to look forward to the eighth period when we could sneak out into the back hall for a drink, but really to check up on the latest The crushes really started this year when Mary Carol used to view Stanley Fuller over the huge map in the back of the room. She and Stan and Carol Taylor and Richard Han- ley were the couples of the year. However romance has other aspects too, for no day was com- plete until Ellen James and Nancy Dunning had seen Mr. Varco once and not over any map, but overa General Science book. Probably most of us will never forget our trip to Morton Salt Block and how we brought back more salt than we knew what to do with, - also the time Miss Fox took us through the jail and we saw all those criminals. In the eighth grade our two home room teach ers were Mrs. Van Order and Mr. Hartnett. Mrs. Van Order was forever trying to get us to clean out our messy lockers, and one day, after smelling a pungent odor, she decided to investigate for herself - only to find that someone had thrown rot- ten lunches in julene McArthur's locker. Poor julene! She had to throw them out, and put Air- Wick in the back hall. Those lockers seemed to present more problems that year, for Nancy Dun- ning and Nancy Eisenhard were always fighting over them, even to the point of ripping up each other's movie stars. This was the year that Joanne Burns joined us and all the girls argued about who was to show her about the school. How she used to go on about Victor! A We had looked forward to being in high school for what had seemed like eternity, but at last we finally made it. At the end of the first year, after Mrs. Marchant had given us a patty, remember how Jim White and Pete Zydel had to clean up the mess they had made when two ink bottles collided in mid air? As sophomores we were all thrilled with our new school, and that September was the only time that we were more than willing to come back. This year we started to take Mrs. Rice's history, as every sophomore was destined to do, which in itself makes it a year to remember. As juniors we made money from our junior Prom, Showers of Stars and our baked food sales and paper drives. Also Anne Reilly came to us from Silver Springs. This year we have all been working hard to earn money for our trip, but we have missed Joanne Burns who has been at home for several months following an operation. The year has been eventful with duck tailed haircuts, Elvis , a trip to New York, the mumps, and the Senior Ball. Through it all we have gained many happy memories which we will carry with us as we leave the halls of W.C.S.
