SetU i (2 Z4 'rtyiatoMf We’ve been around here for a long time now. This year w' graduate — our time’s up — we arc free to leave the shelter of A.H.S. We’ve had our share of fun and we’ve learned something too. But before we leave we want to take one more look — “How about it? Would you like to come along?” In the month of September in the year 1938, our little class started out upon its long journey through public school. We were rather scared because we didn’t know the way too well, but we soon learned. We spent the first year painting, singing, and playing house. The purpose of this activity was to learn how to get along with people. That year was one that many of us will never forget. Most of the year we “owned” and operated” a grocery store. We were divided into two groups. One class in the morning and the other in the after- noon. First grade was one of our happiest years. It was rather strange to us as we had to learn to sit in one seat all day. What a problem! We met many new faces and places in books along our journey as we were beginning to read. “See Dick. See Jane. See Dick and Jane” could be heard many a day. We spent much time playing with a large dollhouse that Miss Kopp had in her room. We made new furniture and rugs for it. Time passed very quickly during those first few years. We had to learn the hard way. Almost all of us spent some time or other in the back rooms or cloak rooms for doing some- thing not on the approved list. In third grade we were again divided into two groups. Our teachers were Miss Lee and Miss Gardner. In fourth grade we seem to have gotten the best of our teachers. We were still in two groups, but one group was a little ahead of the other. One teacher grew tired of us but another came to take her place. In sixth grade Miss Hertz started the “Lassie” series, this continued into seventh grade. The highlight of our year in the seventh grade was the Seventh and Eighth Grade Prom, held in the gym. It was a huge success and every one hacl a grand time. We were one of the first classes that had real eighth grade graduation exercises. These were held in the grade school assembly. In 1947, we proudly entered high school. We made many new friends that year and were joined by all of the country students from miles around. Some of us already knew our way around high school, but many of us got into wrong classes or jumped up to leave study hall when the telephone rang. In our sophomore year, we were all get- ting pretty used to the routine. At least, we no longer got lost. In our junior year we presented the prom, “Pirates”. Sally Jo Johnson was class president, and did a wonderful job on the prom. Our class play, “CLARENCE” was also a huge success. This, our senior year, we have found to be our busiest and most adventuresome. Our class play this year was also a success, as was our football team, which included twelve seniors. Yes — our journey has been most success- ful. But it does not end here. Now, as we part to go our separate ways, we hope that some day soon, our paths will cross and that we can reminisce on our never-to-be-forgotten jour- ney together. 4
