C Com It was on a bright sunny morning in early September, when ten boys and girls started out on their journey from the first grade primers to the dictionaries and encyclopedias of the higher grades. Most of us were bashful and perhaps a little nervous that morning when we met in front of the Elementary building. After all, how did we know how to act before all these other children? We didn ' t know each other or any of the teachers. Before we knew what was happening we heard a bell ringing. All the children headed for the doorway of the build- ing, so we followed and after a little difficulty we found the right room. It did not take us long to make friends and before long, we found ourselves talking to each other. This was back in 1935, the days we shall probably never for- get. By the end of the first year we thought we knew about everything anyone should know, but when we went back the next year we found that we were wrong. Our class was joined by Vera Shiflett, from Martinsburg, who soon learned to like the class. Vera was the only new addition to our class until we reached the fourth grade. Thelma Foltz left our class and attended the third grade at Gaylord. Thelma and Vera were later on to become two of our best typists. William Bodenschatz, the captain of our football team, which won the Shenandoah Valley Athletic League in 1946, by winning nine out of ten games, came into the class in the fourth grade. Eunice Chapman proved herself to be a good addi- tion to the class by getting such good grades in her high school years. Harry Jones, our able Senior Class President, happened along in the fourth grade also. Everyone welcomed the return of Thelma Foltz into our class. During the fifth grade, we added no new members, but did add a lot of knowledge to our class. Our sixth grade roll was increased by five members, all of them from other schools in the county. Anne Langbein, our Beta Club President, was one of these five. David Bell, who can talk Spanish more fluently than he can English, was also one of these five. Another one was Maxine McCarty, who proved to be of great assistance to the Annual Staff because of her typing ability. Allen Pierson strolled into our class in the sixth grade also. We cannot l eave our ladies ' man out as he joined us in the sixth also. He is Philip Kline from out in the county. Thelma Foltz, who came and went almost at any time, left our class the latter part of the seventh grade and went to Boyce, where she went to school for one year before rejoining our class for the last time. It was during our seventh grade that the tragic event of Pearl Harbor happened. Our class would probably have been larger if it had not been for this. At last, we were in high school, where time flies by with the swiftness of sound. We thought we had been having a good time in the grades, but we found out what real fun is in High School. We also found High School different from what we ex- pected. Being members and officers of clubs and being able to take what subjects you want is practically all anyone could ask for. We find that it took Frankie Sowers a long time to decide that there ' s no place like Berryville, except Berryville, He started out with our class in the first grade and continued here until the seventh grade. He went to Upperville in the seventh, then came back to Berryville for half a year and fin- ished the year at Upperville, He attended Marshall High School in his second year and then came back to Berryville his last two years. 16
