Class Hi tor Gone are the days when our hearts were young and gayf, Lest we lose the memory of those golden years of complete freedom and no responsibility, let us pause, before we step out into lifels busy thoroughfare, and look back a while to the days of our youth. . . A Do you remember, you original four, your nrst impression of the school?. . . that day in the late summer of the dark, dark year of 1931 when you tagged silently along behind your parents as they were shown about the nearly completed school by Doctor McCormick. . . Remember the first day of school? . . . how your mother got you all dressed lip and rushed you off in the Model-A to a classroom Hlled with silent wide-eyed Hve-year olds and talking parents . . . hon' suddenly they were gone and you were left with your first teacher. . . Remember that first year? . . . how you learned to tell time, how you hid behind the piano, how you mastered the triangles in the Kindergarten Orchestra, how you were scared to death by the Indian stories of Chief Crazy Bull. . . Remember your progress through the grades? . . . the huge houses you built of blocks and then toppled . . . the Hrst basic reader . . . introduction to com- petitive sports, Reds versus Blacks . . . the candy rewards for correct piano lessons under the sinister Miss Heisler on the Third Floor . . . the first time you really understood what all the talking was about in Monday Chapel . . . your salutes to the flag and 'LI pwedge aleechantsv and 'ffor purple mounted majestiesn . . . dis- cipline and beauty with Miss Davenport . . . the class picnic at which Pop got his nickname . . . the gang warfare in the fields across the road and in the forest that grew down in back by the boiler room . . . the trouble you had understanding division . . . the excitement that arose one day when Artie chased Jack all the way home . . . the first jump in the pool . . , the Exhibitions when you marched around the Gym, twirled wands, ran relays, and rotated flashlights inside balloons . . . and the distasteful Lower School Choir, with you in the red dress and high starched collar . . . your part as a bright young maid in the chorus of 'cPinafore,' . . . the fierce snowball fights between the Fifth and Sixth Grades out by the drift . . . trips with Miss Jordan to the Education Building and to the Karmelkorn . . . that picnic when Gordonis football fell in the crick . . . Miss Snively's promotion- seating system . . . and the Lower School Commencement when you went up to receive your diploma. . . Remember your introduction to the military side of the school? . . . the Sixth Form instructors shouting, Squads Right, not Squads Left! . . . the afternoons you spent desperately wading through uniforms in the Exchange. . . Cap', Town- send passing between the ranks of C Company blowing nauseating puffs from his stogie into the faces of you recruits . . . Colonel Donner, the bald eaglen, keeping you at attention in the hot sun while he lectured to some wayward Corporal. . . 441975
