We then received our diplomas and passed on to the upper school. As freshmen, we were just like any other fresh- men — rather green, but trying very hard. Kay LaGosa was our president that year, and we decided that our colors would be green and white (Rah! Rah!). Jane Avery popped up ond proceeded to become our intellectual element, while Mae Johnson, our only other newcomer, proved to be the missing link in our basketball team. Our sophomore year gave us Meige Guyles as president, Patty Sullivan as a new classmate, and little else other than the consolation of not being freshmen any more. However, we were just saving up for our junior year. Kay LaGasa was our president, and we discovered, among other things, that the Prom was not so terrifying as we had expected it to be. That applied to the Junior Senior Ban- quet, too. But we mustn ' t forget our added inspiration — meoning Frances Dowiing, Mary Woodin, and Felker Morris. Our senior year found us surveying the other classes haughtily with all our newly acquired dignity — at least until the novelty wore off. We received in our ranks Mary Jone Stamm. Peggy Allen, Jocklyn Outouse, ond Petty Tobias. Felker Morris was our president. However, we still can ' t believe that we have actually seen our last May Day, that we have attended our last Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet, and that Baccalaureate. Class Day, and Commencement really did come. The first traces of the distinguished class of 1935 can be found by going back to the year 1922 in the old building, when two of our most eminent scholars, Virginia Davis and Nancy Hewitt, were struggling through the kinder garten under Miss Crosley. The first grade can be remembered for little other than bring- ing to us Marian Guyles. while the third grade produced the La Gasas, I ond II. as well as our present Blue and Gold team captains. Peggy Lou Stebbins and Barbara Bonnell. It also saw us settled in the new building. Just ask any of them about the wonderful gradua- tion week that Miss Kershaw staged for the fourth qrade — the picnic when it rained all day and the intense chagrin suffered by the class valedictorian. Marian Guyles. when she blos- somed out with the measles, and Nancy Hewitt had to read her speech. In the fifth grade Mikki McDonald joined us. and at the end of our sixth year Miss Preston left. Confiden- tially, we have always wondered if there were a connection between these two events. The next year brought us Miss Wilson, who has courageously guided our journey the rest of the way. As we remember, it was about that time, too, that we presented a super-colossal production of The Sleeping Beauty. In the eighth qrade Cathleen Howe joined us. and we established a lower school Athletic Associa- tion. As our eighth grade ploy we gave Rocketty Packetty House, which we have al- ways maintained was at least funny, if not too
