! L CLASS HISTORY Dear Faculty: f, f i . Now that we, the class of 46 , are grad- C' uating, we hope that you will forgive all of our little pranks and think of us as at least a fc a moderately good class. 1 fl X ' You remember in September of 34 l when we came trooping into school, we were always getting lost in some long hall-way. A JoAnne Beatty was often found crawling 5 under the seats. Those bad boys pulled the little girl's hair, especially Elaine Burkhardt's long black curls. Then we became the trial of you second grade teachers. Tony Smith was the Prince Charming of Cinderella fame in those delightful plays we gave. In the third grade we really were growing up. The boys were now chasing the girls all over the playground. Ted Lawton must have been color blind because in every picture he drew of Joan Fell, he colored her hair green! Next we were fourth graders. The cafeteria had just opened, and we were so proud to be buying our lunch. We always seemed to get out of line, lose our money, or some such thing, didn't we? Bob Carlson was the Romeo of the class with his long list of girl friends which every- one was always trying to see. Fifth grade came up before we hardly had time to feel like fourth- graders. Remember the time that you had trying to teach us fractions? We never could understand why two numbers, one over the other, would only be a part of one. It was then that Lee Ickes had his teeth broken by a stone heaved by Bob Donbar. Oh my! here we were in sixth grade already. Do you recall those snowball Hghts in Miss Buchanan's room when everyone else was in school? And I suppose that you laughed at our little romancesg for example, when Bud Beatty gave Jeanne Thomas a box of candy on Valentine's Day. Changing classes in Seventh grade was a new experience for about half of the class. It seems that was the year Bill Bachtel graduated from knickers to long pants. Now we were becoming old! At last we were in eighth grade. The room competitions in basket- ball caused much excitement. It was Mr. Smithls room which finally won the championship by winning all of their games. And then when the state tests came up, we spent one whole morning slaving. The grades revealed that Don Inglis came out on the top in the county. One day you heard a commotion out in the hall-who should you find but Sue Brown chasing Mary Jane Baun with a fire extinguisher! When we crossed the arch in 42 , the high school teachers groaned as the grade school teachers heaved a sigh of relief. As we became Sophomores we still found some stunts to pull. Re- member the firecracker which was somehow set off in Home Room 200? fContinued on Page 891
