Paul Widlets On a September morning in 1943, three large yellow school busses rolled up to Geneva High School and deposited a group of totally be- wildered Seventh Graders. As they stood before the door with their mouths open, they were more or less gently propelled through the door to join the slightly more confident village Seventh Graders. The fa- vorite indoor sport of some upper classmen was to misdirect wandering students. Thus some of the boys barely escaped being used as dress models for the Home Economics Dept. After becoming accustomed to Junior High life, the newcomers began to enjoy many new friends. The class was made up of students from six communities. They learned the school song and cheers without much difficulty, and so became a part of one school. As Eighth Graders their work continued much as before except they felt far more important. They, in turn, played jokes on the inf- nocent Seventh Graders. The strange odors on first floor came from burnt offerings, prepared by the eighth grade girls. Meanwhile the boys were designing and creating Period Furniture. fThey couldn't tell what period it was, Colonial or Louis XVJ It looked as though it had escaped from the Dark Ages. Social activities included two skating parties at Boyer's. Lucky for us that somebody thought of making Band-Aids. This was also the year of the big snow. For days at a time the bus students Were shut in by snowbound roads. Woolies, sleds, and flying trips down the hillside became much more fun than trying to remember WHAT happened WHEN in history. - Returning last fall to become freshmen, they felt almost dignified but soon got over that. Latin and algebra found their minds lost in a fog. This year the class of '49 finds itself becoming more a part of school activities. Several members of the class distinguished themselves in basketball and football. The newly organized freshman girls' basket- ball team should be interesting. The class also furnished two cheer- leaders for the Junior High teams and are well represented in the band and junior high chorus. They have several officers and many members in the Junior Girl Reserves and Boys' Hobby Club. With eager eyes the forty-niners look forward to the years ahead. ' -by Joanne Lister.
