CLASS HISTORY llow would you like to reminisce with ns as we turn back the pages to a Septem- ber day in W-ll when we took our first educational steps? . . . . . , . flu that bright suuuv morning, Miss Marjorie lxevuolds greeted a shv, little -, . 1 . . group nl forty tots. Mr. Morris, our principal, divided us into two groups and bliss Ruth McNeil, now Mrs. l'eterka, taught the other group. livery day we brought apples to school, not for the teacher, but for ourselves, and they would keep them for ns. lrionnie Moran distinctly remembers the day when someone left a tiny green apple in place of her big shiny red one. 'l hen came the day l'atsy Carter went home at recess thinking it was time to go home. ln spite of the hammering, sawing. and banljiiig we readily leaind readinf 'ritin', and 'rithmctic, f if it was at this time that the new wing was under construction. XYell. we're back to school and in the second grade, and greeted by new teachers. Miss l'hyllis Mallory and Miss l.onella Kuhn, Some of ns felt quite lucky, because we were in the new building which was comj l-tcd during the summer. Soon September was over, and we celebrated l Ialloweeu. Thanksgiving gave lla a tummy- ache, but what's a little tummy-ache now and then. 4 in Christmas we drew names and had a very bright, pretty tree, and of course, there was Santa! The lfaster liunnv also visited us that vear. Then, unbelievably soon we were returning home with our report cards for the summer. .Xfter a nice summer vacation we again trotted the paths to school to enter the third grade. Miss Irene Martin and Miss Farah lfredenberger were there to enroll Us and to try to teach us many things that year. Again, at Christmas time Santa L laus made his regular visit to all the rooms. ln April, Miss Mina 'l'hompsou gave us an elm tree that we transplanted as a class project. Before long another school year was over, and we closed with a class picnic. lt was September again, and as we all know September means school. We put on our best bib and tucker and were off to begin our fourth year. There to greet ns were Miss l.ouise Welles and Miss llessie Buchter. That year geography was added to our studies and was our main headache. XYe all enjoyed Clnistinas because ol the little bit of mistletoe we had. Hn returning to school after the Christmas holidays a new superintendent. Mr. lfater, ushered us into the new year. .Xll too soon the snow was gone, and the leaves were back again. .Xfter a quick glance at our grade cards. we went home to enjoy our vacation. .Xfter a nice summer vacation we dusted oil our books and went back to school to enter the fifth grade. That year the book rental system was introduced in our school. Hur new teachers were Miss llorothy NYaguer and Miss .Xlice XYellpott. lfor the first time we had l'. lf. separately, that is, the boys had it one day and the girls another day. llistory Ion, was added to our load. .-Xt this time the boys, The 1949 Mirror
