ildwe SYLVAN Senior Class History Ho-hum! Gosh, spring has got me. This may be a study hall, but I certainly don't feel like studying. Ho-o-o-o-hum. Say, where in the world am I? Look at that marvelous slide and those sand- boxes! Why, this looks like the Edgewood kindergarten. But how strangely all the children are dressed. Am I seeing things, or do I recognize some of the mem- bers of the class of 1936? How quickly the room has changed! This room has blackboards around the wall, and there's a big spelling chart in one corner. Miss Coursin is standing there pointing out one of the words. C-A-T. Of course, this is the class of '36 in first grade. The room has changed again! Goodness, old Scrooge didn't have anything on me. That group of boys and girls sitting in the front of the room must be the reading class. It looks very much like second grade to me. The room has changed slightly now, and there is a group of our class standing around muttering something. I wonder what it is. Could it possibly be the multiplication table? Fourth grade. I can see Miss Grubb and Miss Dickson leading us out to recess. Now we're back in a class room, and the class has settled down to take a Studebaker Test in multiplication and long division. What puzzled expressions on some of the faces! Our surroundings seem to have changed again, and most of the class still looks puzzled. Now I see why. It's because of those strange figures on the board. Miss Piper and Miss Kelly call them fractions. How tall everyone has grown? It's much easier to recognize each one now. The whole class seems to have more confidence, too. Sixth graders, the biggest and oldest class in the building. Now where in the world am I? Oh, yes, in the junior high school. Why, here's our class again. Some are in Miss N ewmeyerls room, some in Miss Swiss- he1m's, and some in Mr. Gardner's. How much more fun everyone seems to be having, even though such subjects as math. and geography do exist. I can hear some moaning over science and Latin, too. Look? at the crowd of people on the top of that hill! The illustrious class of '36 is now attending the freshman-senior weiner roast. Although we no longer consider ourselves infants, that seems to be the seniors' conception of us. Here I am back in study hall. The class seems to have gathered for a meet- ing, and jim is saying something about a roller skating party. Oh, I remember. That .was one of the grandest parties ever given by any class land we were only sophomoresj Good grief! How everyone is rushing around. No wonder, the class rings have just come. And what rings! We're the envy of the whole school. But the conversation seems to have turned to the, subject of the prom, a very success- ful one of which the class is very proud. We are now walking slowly down the aisles of the auditorium, each one clasping tightly a diploma. The Commencement exercises are over, a fact which means that we have completed a successful senior year, including a very interesting Washington trip and a very, very successful senior play. Well, what--? Why, here I am still in study hall! Could I have been asleep? Oh, cats, now when am I going to write that class history? 22
