Terry Harrison Walter Orrin Wright Dorothy Wallace Charlotte Yeager jr ND it came to pass on a bright autumn day of September 2, 1924 that thirty-nine jf of us began our work for the school year. In about a month our classes were fully organized and it was towards the last of October that the Sixth grade ventured on their first party, which was held at the home of Mildred Coryell. Did any one get lost in the forest and how did we build our fire? Remember? The Fifth Grade held their Hallowe’en party October 31, at the home of Hazel Francis. All enjoyed a delightful time. It was on the evening of December 17th, that wc gave our Christmas program before a large audience. Did Lewis and Seneca see Santa Claus? Our next social event of significance dawned upon us St. Valentine’s Day, when our Valentine Box opened only to shower upon us many pretty Valentines. During the year two of our number have departed from our way. There are now fifteen who answer roll call in the Sixth Grade and twenty-two in the Fifth. All of us are anxious to make this year a happy and successful one. The officers of the Sixth Grade are: President, Mildred Coryell; Vice-President, Lewis Warden; Secretary-Treasurer, Doreen Douglas. The officers of the Fifth Grade are: President, Hazel Francis; Vice-President, Charlotte Yeager; Secretary-Treasurer, Bruce Coryell. We don’t call it fate or luck, As each day brings problems new, We admit sometimes we’re stuck. But our teacher helps us through. You won’t hear much about us now. We are only little girls and boys, But in nineteen thirty-two. That is when we’ll make our noise. —Wayne Parnall. 19
