575 l'l-ll-'PSN egg, Class History of Room Nineteen of no It was a bright September morning in 1913 and through the doors of Fulton School crowds of children were constantly streaming. They were all there from the big, dignified eighth graders to the tiny tots clinging to their mothers' hands, just about to embark upon their school career. Among these little ones were ourselves. After the first awful week or so, we got used to getting up early in the morning and tramping to school. That first year we learned several things. How to spell cat and rat, how to cross a street without getting run over and how to sit in school all day without talking. In later years we forgot some of these things, especially the latter. That first eventful year we spent in Miss Houston's room and then we passed into Miss Keplinger's second grade. In the second and third grades every child who received an honor card or a one hundred paper was marched around the entire building to exhibit his trophies. The third year we spent under Miss t'ampbell's care and it was our first experience in a fresh-air room. This year was also noted because we received our first grade cards! Miss Mayhew, our fourth grade teacher, was married in the middle of the year fto our chagrini and Miss Hiser taught us until June. That year, for the first time, we left two of our number behind when we passed into Miss XVeyburne's fifth grade. VVe began manual training that year. The girls took sewing and the boys were under Mrs. Owen. Cocoa was also served for the first time. ' VVhen we entered Miss Yeslin's room we looked back on our Hfth year and realized that we were having some good times at school and it wasn't all work. In the sixth grade we dramatized plays, had the piano for music, learned decimals and did several other noteworthy things. Then at the end of the year, Miss Marker told us the awful news that the class was to be divided. Half were to go to Miss Amesse and half to Miss Perkins and soon a friendly rivalry grew up between the classes. That year, also, many new pupils and some from the portables were put in our rooms. Then came the basketball season and although we didn't win all the games we at least had a team. The classes were again divided and we entered upon our eight year-a year of study, balanced by an equal number of good times. From the begin- ning of the first semester, we looked forward to the greatest events of the year -the Freshman Party and the time in the middle of June, 1922, when we were to make our exit from grade school and start another episode in our lives and become little insignificant Freshmen. -Lenore Fain.
