, OUR HISTORY Not one nor two, but thirteen momentous years ago the Class of '48 for fragments thereofj innocently paraded into the mammoth grade school where they were to spend the next seven years of their lives. While kinder- garten was breathtakingly awe inspiring then, it seems insignificant now with its little rest periods and song fests and normal training. fBy the way, that was the last year normal training was sponsored here: the class was just too much for the young teachers to handle.j Time whizzed by and so did we...speedy, then as now. In the first grade we were greeted by Miss Hanson, who, in an effort to control our vigorous vitality, disciplined us severely by placing us in a little red chair in the corner of the room. The most horrible punishment devised by Miss Walters in grade two was making us sit alone in the circle of chairs in the front of the room. Here we mastered the counting to 100 for which we received a gold star on a very distinguished appearing chart. Under Miss Eide's supervision in the third grade many revealed their musical talents in the tonette class. The cardboard box movie project- or with the film strip of Hiawatha held a great fascination for many of us. With zealous spirits we studied the customs of the Indians, Es- kimos and Arabs with the making of a part of the native dress of each to wear on visitor's day. Upon reaching the fourth grade most of us had learned all the tricks of playing our favorite recess game of Pump, Pump, Pull-Away. It was also about this time that some of the males organized a basketball team with the using of a certain brick in the wall of the school for the basket. In the fifth grade things really started rolling, in a social sense, that is, for we were moved around to the back door, and former romances, split by east and west entrances, were again progressing at the east door. Here we must mention how Bonnie Boell always managed to march in at the end of the line, right in front of all the fellas! The hill gang enlarged our number, and we always rather linked Lois Sharp and Lowell Salyards together. On to the sixth grade we trod, singing our theme-song, Oral Marleen loves George Beteen! A few diplomats in the front seats, middle rows, devised a unique method of comparing answers to true-false tests: true was a wink of the eye, false , a tap of the pencil. Many, many jealous- ies were developed concerning who would slide down the hill with whom at recess. When we reached the ultimate goal, the seventh grade, the strain of mischief in our blood really began to show. The periodical thirst at the end of each subject, followed by a trip to the fountain by a number of girls was strange. Was it because their beaus passed through the hall at those times? We were given our first state board, which was in geography that yean Shivering in our dainty little shoes, we peered around the corner to the eighth grade room only to view long rows of tomb-like desks and the keeper of the flock, Miss Jones, sitting distinguished and stern at her desk at the back of the room. This was a year of creation...of posters, of drama- tized book reports Qremember when Chris urged Carl off the stage with the words, not in the book we assure you, G:t the lead out! j, of airplanes Qhere we see a few girls choosing the companionship of the boys and their model airplanes in the art room to that of the gals and their knitting in the class roomy, and of speeches, primarily recitation of our parts of speech outlines in front of the whole class.
