A By Margaret Collins Short Hair! Big Hair Bows! Blue Overalls! Hope Skipping! Marble Playing! Yes, we all were a bunch of little klds with these characteristics. Taking class roll ln September, 195 , of the first grades taught by Miss Ruby- Boyd and Mrs. Genva Reynolds, Jane Joslin, Wanda Lowry, Evelyn Baker, Floyd Blake, Mary Cron- khlte, Keith Kegerrels, Margaret Collins, Lavon Lewellen, Rosemary Hollowell, John Venable, Ralph Medsker, Mary Jane Cox, Frances Vance.Ben Holdren,Hcward Roberts, Jane Rarlck Martha Meyer, Norma Fisher, and 'John Thomas, all shyly answered 'present.' Time elapsed and we found our- selves in the fourth grade. To the roster of the first grade were added a few names that year. Barbara Cochran and Richard John- son Jolned us from Muncie. Wllma Brlnson came from Gaston, Jane Norrlck from Harrison, andDavld Riebeling from Blackford Co. Joining us in our fifth year were Ilah Addington from Mlllgrove and Cash Mlllspaugh from Gaston. As we successfully entered the sixth grade, again fate brought us some welcome newcomers. Clara Conk- right and Karl Dlx came from Mun- cle and John Turner from Cowan. This ls it! Flnally after six years of building a flrm founda- tion we found ourselves walking down the big hallto the assembly. Bells!! Bells!! Teachers! More Teachers! All was very confusing! We were practically lost. Some little zremllns appeared to tor- ment us and made us get into the wrong classes at the wrong time. All the upper classmen thought we were 'silly but they forgot that they, too, were in the seventh grade once! Mary Etta and Flora Mae Simmons joined us to make us a 'larger problem group.' . CREENNESSI SILLINESSI DATES! All these'Freshy' characteristics holded us all together ln our flrst year of high school for a common purpose--to be different yet successful! We had skating and class parties. With Miss Learid distributing the bad Grem- lin-polscn, we selected our of- ficers as follows: president, David Rlebellngg vice-president, John Turnerg secretary and treas- urer, Lavon Lewellen. The good gremlins being on our slde, we successfully pulled through the final exams. In our sophomore year, the little gremlins were still both- ering usg yet, determlnedly, we stumbled over them! who knows??? We recall Mrs. Eastman swattlng the 'pests' which surrounded us Iv... nnbnuqnnp tn nn1lnnn1 nnamnnl - Our student leaders were Lavon Lewellen, presldentg Floyd Blake, vice-presidentg Jane Norrlok, 'secretaryfdand David Rlebe1ing,. treasurer.

Well, there we were in September, 1945, going into our Junior year and lt sure- ly proved very exciting and thrilling. Maybe after this third attempt, we' would be more suc- cessful and maybe CHARMERS--not snake-charmers--but Greml1n-char- mers. Helping us to do this was our sponsor, Mrs. Wallace. We David Mar- choose for our president, Rlebellngg vice-president, garet Cclllnsg secretary Rosemary Hollowellg and treasurer, Ilah Add.1ngt0ne We received our class rings which added to the thrills of the year.

What! onnlORS1?1? possible? Yes, sure Can it be enough it was true. Things were started this year with the election of -offlcersg president, David Riebe- llngg vice-president, Karl Dlxg Jane Norrlckg and Wands Lowry.

The first edition of our new school paper by the advanced typing class which was composed of seniors Ewith the much needed and helpful guidance of Mrs. Eastman! was re- leased. We were all glad to see that it was a success yet we strived to better it each month! The next big event on our calen- dar for the year was the class play. Mrs. Wallace again coached us through the class play,'SINIS- TER STATION' which was given Jan- nary 31, 1945. The cast consist- ed of Myra-gChese.

As cud senior year drew to a clase, we felt that the bad grem- lins had given us to the good gremllns because we had overcome the 'after-all minor' obstacles that had been put before us dur- ing those past. twelve years. After withdrawing ln his soph- omore year to attend Upland High School, Floyd Blake came back to re-enter'cur class. Some of us are serving Uncle Sas. Cash Millspaugh left us in November for the Navy, John Turn- en ln January, for the Army, and Ben Holdren Zig- March for the Army.

The name of the festival in most lan- guages is taken from the Hebrew 'pesach, meaning pasaover, as by -the first Chrlstains -Easter was considered a continuation' of the feast of the Passover, at which thepeschal lamb, symbolof christ, was sacrificed. ' Z master ls not always held on :the same date. The Church coun- cil of Hioaea decided that this day should be celebrated on, the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after larch 21. Easter can come as early as larch 22 or as late as April 25. lany customs have been and 'still are observed in churches and ,homes as expression -of Joy because Christ rose from the dead. The Easter service is the most elaborate of the church year. The message, 'The Lord is risen,' le expressed in ceremonies, prayer, 'and music. Besides the elaborate ,church services, sunrise services are held outdoors in many places. Some of these have won national fame because of the beauty of their surroundings, such as those at Pikes Peak in Colorado, the 'Grand Canyon of Arizona, and the Hollywood Bowl., The white lily, the symbol of the Resurrection, ls the special flower. Rabbits and coloring of eggs have come from pagan anti- quity as symbols of new life. The red coloring of eggs typlfies the Lblocd of redemptlong other colors ,have no special significance. The presence of the Easter 'rabbit' in the festivities, may be traced, to the old bel1ef'that rabbits lay eggs on Easter Eve. This superstition, is thought by some authorities to be of Teutonic origin, and is the basis-of many THA. NUTS Decorative Pan-Amerloan maps, made by members of the art class, and a legture 'on Cuba by Miss Esther B rtlett, teacher .cf 'history at Central High School, Muncie, were featured at a Pan- 'Amer1ean program given in the high school assembly on Wednesday eveningf Merch 21 at 7:30 for members -of the Parent-Teacher Association.

Navy.- He was referring to a Japanese book which he brought with him. The book was very different from ours--one main difference being that it opens from left to. right instead of from right to le t as our books dog consequehtf ly, it seems to us that the book reaasfrrem the back to the front. Many subjects were introduced! in this one volume such as geog- repay, physics, health, geometry, English, and algebra. J The English language was used s great deal throughout the book. For example, the algebra was in English, mathematics was in English numerals, and the geome- trical figures were marked in English. However, there were Japanese discussion of the fig- ll!'Qle Another great difference be- tween the book and ours was that the material is written verti- nallv instead of horizontally.
