Class When we look into the dim dark past ages, about the year of 1933, we might see little figures getting off school buses and wandering dazedly into their class- rooms. There they were welcomed with open arms by Katherine Etzel and Annette Pricket, their teachers. Can't you imagine Jean Ann Clark banging Dickie Bridges over the head with a teeter-totter, Teddy Rittenhouse looking at Santa Claus at Christmas time with awe and reverence. Earl Mette and Carolyn Angus being locked in the coat room trying to learn to read. Virginia Judd with a three inch bow on the top of her head and her hair bobbed. Evelyn Clemens coming in every morning holding the hand of an upper classman-a third grader! Virginia Truitt crying every day because she was home- sick. Clifford Fralich pushing Irene Bate- man and Donna Fisher oFf the slide, Robert Brooks playing dominos and working puzzles, Eloise Taylor standing in the hall because she talked to the little boy next to her, Mary Hauke showing her play- mates around the basement when her father wasn't looking, Jennie Mullen go- ing around calling everyone Susie. All too soon, those days passed, and with the days so passed these pupils into the second grade. There their little minds were enlightened and broadened by Mary Louise Stickel and Jane Haarlam- mert. They were really arown up by the time they reached the third grade. Just think-they had homework to do! lAlso -how soon they learned to dread itll Their teachers this vear were Gertrude Carlson and Mary Laugh. Much to the sorrow of this class, durinq this year Miss Carlson became ill. Ethel Markley took her place. Very few will forget the fourth grade. Under the direction of Marian Montgom- ery they gave an almost professional pupet show. Each attendant had to pay three pins! Who can forget Jan and Betia and Peter and the pup? In the fifth grade this group were men and women of the world. They were up- J'lil.xtonuf stairs and had four teachers-Mrs. Bessie Ayer, Mrs. Georgia Ayer, Miss Eleanor Powers and Miss Mariorie Sturm. The sixth grade was similar to the fifth, only more so. Miss Sturm was married during the year and Miss Helen McCord took her place the next year. Most of the children passed on to the seventh grade. This year they had Junior High basketball teams-girls and boys- which played with other schools. The next year they only had a boys' team. There were also intra-mural games. The teachers in Junior High were Miss Gertrude Addi- cott, Miss Martha Jane Pulliam, Mr. Harold Obee, and Mr. John Blough. How many could forget serenading Mr. Blough with Oh Johnny, currently popular. The high light of the eighth grade was the state examination and commencement. There was a wonderful celebration at Judd's af- ter the program. By this time they were entering the school as knock-kneed starry-eyed Fresh- men. They were duly and properly initi- ated into high school life at the Freshmen Dance, after being tortured for a day by the upper classmen. As Sophomores they gave the Freshmen a dance with all the trimmings-including the well-filled pond. By this time they had entered into the spirit of torturing Fresh- men with pleasure. As Juniors they put on a most success- ful class play, entitled The Mad Hatters. Who would have more natural ability to put on a play about crazy people? At the end of the year they showed the Seniors how much they loved and respected them by giving them a dance at the Mariemont Inn. Finally, after twelve hard years, these students finally reached the point when they could call themselves Seniors. They assumed leadership in various activities. ln the spring they gave a unique class play. Later they strolled up the aisle, accepted their diplomas and went on to the events of the future.
