Class History In I V43 our happy but crying mollicrs bade us larcwcll on tlic door-step. I his was to be our first day of school under the supervision of Miss Loose. During the first stop of our educational career we were taugiit the A. H. C ' s and the 1. 2. 3 s. Wc were di ided into three reading classes, the Robins. Bluebirds and Sparrows. Our orchestra that vear was called The Rhvthni Band. in which wc learned ail about the triangle, tambourine, and such delicate instrimients. We used to pkr, doctor, too. Wc even had medicine, using candy hearts as pills. Wc made our second stop and were ably assisted through second grade by Mrs. I-nicrick. Here we began to get a taste of the 3R s u nabridged. Wc began to collect milk weed pods as a class project. Miss Scliell ushered us into a beautiful but sad third grade, where wc were lauglit the long and short of it (by this we mean ilisisionl. 1} this time .leie Pearson and Dave libling were already up to nonsense. Fourth grade made us verv energetic, for this ear we had to climb steps every morning. We were finalK promoted a floor and had our own private stairway. Miss La ser taught us the multiplication tables from 1 to 10. The boys finally started taking an interest, we girls wondered if it were the lessons or the teacher ' s beautiful red hair. Remember the day Charles Miller made his debut with his squeeking clarinet. Mrs. GrolT taught us poems, and how we loved to recite them indi ' idua!ly be- fore the rest of the class. This is the year Harold Mann decided to bring flowers to Mrs. GrolT, the only catch wa s he picked them in her own backyard. Finally we reached the half-wav mark when we entered Mr. Snasely ' s room. We felt very privileged, for this year we had a piano in our room. We also learned the art of ducking erasers, which came flying our way. This was the first year we had a library. It took some of us very long to decide which book we wanted, especially when we got out of class to choose one. The bovs particularly liked health class, in the summer we played baseball outside and Mr. Snavelv was the ump. We remem- ber well the big clock and the constant ring of the telephone, which caused mLich confusit)n even among the teachers. We were also the guardians of the entire school in the form of the Safety Patrol, and exerted our authority, especially in the snowball season. Wc began a wonderful new adventure when we entered 7th grade. Miss Werner and Mr. Daniels had the diflicult job of explaining what evervthing was all about. We came to know Mr. Nitrauer quickU and learned that his word w::s law. We were quickly introduced to Mr. Mitchell and his old expression. In the corner i|uicklv. Eighth grade came and Mr. Daniels and Mrs. Brightbill had their troubles. Many a night we stayed after school until the entire class got quiet. The following year we acquired a title of F- eshman. We wrote essays — many essays for Mr. Klopp, such as Speech is SiUcr. Silence is Ciolden and the liistory of ihcwing gimi. Romances flourished and studies were forgotten. In tenth grade we were sporting our new class jackets, which we thciught were the greatest things in the school. We had Mr. Buchcr and Mr. Batdorf for home- room teachers. We dissected frogs, grasshoppers, and crawfish in Bioloev class. Mr. Klopp took us on a tour of Ciettysburg. The big day came and we were happily flashing around our brand new class rings. It wasn ' t long before our class rings changed hands as often as the weather, ihis year we gave the Jr.-Sr. Prom, our theme was, Somewhere Over the Rain- bow. Mr. Klopp took us on a tour of F. M. College in Lancaster. Wc also went to see an L. V. C. basketball game. Finally we reached the top. This year we made the French Fries at the fair, the girls washed their hair every day and the Home l-c girls were kept bus with the cafeteria. We had a marvelous time gathering l.andis and Landis members and selling magazine subscriptions. The P.O.D. classes took a trip to the County Court House and we visited the Lebanon Daily News Oflice. But, of course, the thing we looked forward to most came, our trip to New York. We know these memories will live in our hearts forever. —76—
