CLASS I-IISTGRY Dear Diary, lst grade . . . As I leaf through the pages of my diary, it brings to mind all the things that have happened to me during these twelve wonderful years. The first thing we did in Miss Roe's room was to have a grocery store. Too, we gave Snow White -Becky Buchanan was Snow White and Charlie Terry was Prince Charming. All the boys had an awful time trying to get away from the girls who were always trying to kiss them. 2nd grade . . . This year we moved into the new school. At Barbara Boyer's birthday party she and Becky had a fight over Barbara's new house- coat. Miss Fassett tied all the kids to their chairs that walked around the room, made everyone who was chewing gum wear it on his nose, and tied a handkerchief around the mouths of the kids who talked. 3rd grade . . . Our picture, taken for the Dela- ware school annual report was really good except that John moved his head. Barbara Outten mov- ed to Wilmington. We all cried the last day she was here. 4th grade . . . John Maybee locked Bertha Bishop in a locker and no one could remember the com- bination. In the meantime, the poor girl was slowly suffocating. Remember our play in Mrs. Hutchins room? All the kids had stage fright! Gosh! Nina Wrightson and Frank Swain were new-comers this year. 5th grade . . . Gordon Phelps, Dave and Gerald Fitzgerald arrived. We took bike trips out to Eileen Evan's house and had a wonderful time roller skating. Mr. Evans made a record of our attempts at singing and a movie of us coming up the drive on our bicycles. We went to Philadel- phia to the Zoo and to the Franklin Institute. We gave a play Racketty Packetty House in which Bob McNeil and Jerry Dye were married. Everybody had a part-Sister Edgeworth was Cynthia and Tad Wilson was the cutest fairy! The last thing the class did this year was to give a shower for Miss Parry at Barbara's house. I almost forgot about the party for Patty Ulrich. She moved to Cambridge and the whole class was invited to her house one afternoon for ice cream Page Twenty- Two and cake. After the refreshments, Barbara and Gordon Phelps entertained us with a fight. As the crowd cheered, Barbara, a sturdy 10 year old, slightly pulverized Gordon. 6th grade . . . This year was our first year for real honest-to-goodness boy-girl parties. Walter Saxton had the first one followed by Wharton's birthday party. Remember? Marvin Thompson gave Mary a cook book. All the boys bought their girls corsages! We even played post-office. Louis Swift came to school and all the girls got crushes on him. Patsy Marker and Frank Swain went steady. At the party for our parents, Mar- vin Thompson tap-danced and Jerry entertained with a one-finger version of Pop Goes the Weas- el. Nina and Miss Hasting had a real spat over an ouiji board. At Bob McNeil's Halloween par- ty, we played some spooky games in the dark and felt quite grown-up. 7th grade . . . At last, we are in high school. Tad, Charlie, and Walter and Tommy Schneider formed a new Club W. H. U. CWoman Haters Unlimitedj. Walter gave another party. Billy Harrington and Miss Mumford feuded. Dave and Gerald Fitzgerald left this year. Most of us went to the Halloween dance and went through Ghostland for the first time. Jerry Cullen was sent to Mr. Kast's office for breaking a paper bag in poor Miss Mear's class. 8th grade . . . Last year was fun because the school was new to us but this one took the cake. First, Herby Minor had a fight with Mrs. Fooksg she told him to crawl in the closet and he did. After that incident, they became the best of friends. Paul Hodgson came to town and Anne Cameron snared him. The girls started wearing lipstick, they thought they were sixteen. Spring brought many new romances-Barbara Boyer and Charlie Terry, Anne Marker and Henry Wil- son, and Barbara Smith and Walter Hartnett. At the last dance all the girls were on pins and needles to see with whom Bob McNeil would dance first and darned if he didn't ask his mother. Golly, we can't forget those hilarious home ec. classes with Mrs. Stumm. She used to chase us around with a broom. Charlie, Henry, and Wal- ter left to go away to school. We had our last Jr. High party and saw the last of the Scott, Edge- worth, and Wrightson Diller Pickle Factory skits.
