( ass 7[story Who is to say where history begins? With class histories there is only one choice. Bear with me as I reminisce. We entered Argyle at the early ages of 4 or 5 or maybe even 6. We were a unique group and full of vitality. This is where we first became a group. We had the usual fights. We were always bickering over who was to ride the tri- cycle, or who was to be the first to play in the playhouse. As time records it in my memoirs, John and Betty usually won. The first three years passed quickly. In the third grade, Sandra Roods joined our group. We continued to learn our 3 R's diligently. Miss McWhorter was our 4th grade teacher. This is a milestone in our history. We elected officers for the first time. John McIntyre was our first president, Stan Sialinski was treasurer, and Carol Lake was secretary. This year we gained 3 new members; El- sie Middleton, Ruth Lapitsky, Jack Royallminns. Our project for the year was selling pencils, which consisted of our school colors and school name engraved on it. This proved to be a profitable venture. When we entered fifth grade we were split into two groups again. Our teachers were Mrs. MacAuley and Mrs. Corbett. Our class project was selling flower seeds. Mrs. Currie was our sixth grade teacher. Our project for the year was selling news- papers, which was organized by the students. Two other highlights of this year were games we played. They were eraser tag and throwing the bean bag. Chip Lee was our eraser tag champion. I have another special point of interest. Meredith McNeil was elected treasurer and is still our treasurer. We have a name for our treasury that only history could pro- vide. We call it McNeil's Mint.” Apropos, n'est pas? In eighth grade we started a dramatics club sponsored by Mrs. Losee. We presented two plays, Everybody's Crazy and Aunt Kathy's Cat. Mrs. Cook was also a spon- sor. In the 9th grade, our first year of high school, we had our first class dance. We all worked together planning for it and decorating. In the 10th grade we had a class dance and a car wash. Mr. Farmer was our home- room teacher. We all enjoyed him very much. He proved to be a jack of all trades, including basketball as his famous sport. Our biggest and most profitable project was selling candy after school games. Our Junior year was one of the biggest. We started off the year by ordering our class rings. Then came all the plans for the Junior Prom, which was the highlight of the year. The theme for the prom was by Sue Whitman. It was entitled Cafe Sous Les Etoiles.” Our king and queen were Frank Merrill and April Jones. Then finally - our senior year. We started by ordering senior pictures, graduation cards, robes, etc. Then we planned out all the details for the Washington trip. There are 30 students left from the group that started and we are proud of every one.
