e oak in X12 Upen House last year was quite an affair, if you remember, joe. Look, mom, I made thatf, you said proudly as you showed your mom and dad through the art exhibit. Your mom and dad came back this year, joe, just to see things that we've done during this war year, and to re- member last year with you. Wk: had a big P. E. demonstration last year and got plenty weary, but it was fun too. The ditch day we had last year Wasn't the usual trip to Sequoia. We had a picnic in the park across from school, but it was just that much better than no picnic at all. Graduation last year came june 1. Do you remember how dignified we looked in our blue caps and gowns, and how our knees shook as we walked across the stage to get our diplomas?
