Appr' A. - . ,,.:w.:- - -- , it CLASS HISTORY Janet Kelley Sprouts of the Class of '35 were first noticed in September, 1922, as they found their way to the kindergarten and opened their eyes to the big world of education. After they had passed through the kindergarten, there was a great increase in the class. Many of the little ones of '23 did not need to go to the kindergarteng thus they were put in with the all ready school-experienced children. These students grew heallthily through the seemingly long years. Some were separated from their friends who were in another division, but they all met to make merry and noisy crowds during recess and noon periods. The sprouts grew into stems, which were the foundation of the finished flower. Leaf buds of knowledge began to appear, and showers of report cards freshened some but beat too hard upon others, making them look sick. At last that long looked-for year had come. In 1929, they experienced their last year in the grades. They looked forward with eagerness to their days of junior high. Then the bud was visible, as proud little seventh graders paraded the school corri- dors. Everyone .but the upper classmen admitted that they were promising looking junior high students, and hoew proudly they elected class officers. They had a party just like the senior high, and they had fun in spite of the fact that they were com- pelled to stay in the shop and had to go home at 9:30. Eighth grade passed by so quickly that they hardly knew what it was all about. They did learn, however, that they were altogether -too hilarious, and that it wasn't good for one's marks. In 1931 they became high school students. There was a decided increase in the class as the country students came in to further their education. The buds began to open, and the colors could be seen. As some opened their petals to see the high school world, they closed them again. It was too much for them. They would wait. Besides seeing what high school education was like, they were also happy to be at high school parties I although the dignified seniors hardly approved.J They were laughed at by the upper classmen, but they stayed fresh and trim just the same. In 1932 it was their turn to laugh at the next group. I-Iapny sophomores-they attended to their little business and had plenty of time for outside entertainment. They took a greater part in school activities. Boys and girls alike were indulged in athletics. Some took up music, and others stuck to their studies. Some were cut from their education stem before they had finished growing. In 1933 a more important year in their lives was beginning to take place. They were successful in giving a junior play, Seventeen, and also gave the seniors a de- lightful prom in May, 1934. They played an important part in the graduation exercises. Their time finally came in 1934-35. Experience and a famous United We Stand, Divided We Fall speech given by one of the members of the class made them ready to commence a new life. They were the making of the athletic teams, and they were a great help to the orchestra and band. They formed several organizations. The senior play. and the prom given by the thoughtful juniors, helped to complete a happy year, and finally that long looked for graduation came. They formed a procession of fine looking, finished senio-rs, and novw the mature flowers lift their faces of know- ledge Waiting to be plucked by the outside world of experience. Fifteen
