f.'633'11g5E5E3' Aw jiff' Class ll-History Dear Diary: CSeptember 19451 On September 1945 the future class of 1958 took its first step toward graduation by entering kindergarten. Here everyone went through the process of learning to count. to say the alpha- bet, and to participate in the traditional kindergarten band. The noise was terrific when everyone started pounding sticks, beating the drums, and shaking the tambourines. Bewildered as each one of us was, we shyly made friends and later enga ed in many famous battles over blocks, sand tools,and the paints gwhich were occasionally used in spreading the measles over classmates' faces.: As we climbed upward into first and then second grade, we collected skinned shins, many Hdamp hankies,N and a number of vicious enemies who threw spit balls for revenge. Skipping gayly into 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th, we soon were ready for graduation from grade school and the big slide into Junior High. Dear Diary: QSeptember 19511 As I peered down the long, empty. halls that my class was soon to fill, it seemed impossible that I had finally made the half way mark in my education. Those drinking fountains were so far from the floor that I had to stretch extremely hard to reach them. The lockers were lined row upon row and I wondered how I would manage to Whitn the right one when everyone else was madly rushing from one class to another. I simply felt lost when they handed me my schedule which was to be my guide for the rest of the year. I didn't get the hang of things as quickly as I should have. The teachers seemed to be quite a bit sharper than they used to be in the grades. One had to be a pretty sharp look-out to slide past their eagle-eye vision. Gradually I became an ex- pert paper-wad-shooter and a crack-shot water pistol kid. Dear Diary: KSeptemberfl9547 School, as I soon discovered, wasn't all work and no play but a most enjoyable medium of both. Many new students came to the central school from the rural and district schools. I, along with the rest of my class, now could choose the subjects which we thought were best suited to our needs and which would hold our interest for the next four years. Mrs. Falsion gave us a picnic at her home in Rushford where we went swimming, picnicked, and had an exciting time. For our class officers we elected Beth Calkins as President, David Davies as Vice President.Alice MgNu1- ty as Secretary, and Judy Cotton as Treasurer. Our gdviggrs were Mr. Koch and Miss Esmond. Each member of the class was initiated at the Freshman-Sophomore party where Alice McNulty queen and Dee Schnitzler was chosen king. was chosen
