Hutchison), Miss H. R. Craig, Miss E. Verrier, Mr. C. B. Sweigart. Left to Right: Mr. Ogden, Mr. Dunkle, Mr. Wileman. The trading of baseball cards, and playing leanies” and matchies” the wild water-bomb fights and the muggers of secy” 10, the snow¬ ball forts and battles, and our races to the top of the coal pile, will be some of the adventures all of us will long remember. On the light side there were our gardens where we planted rad¬ ishes, onions, potatoes, carrots, and anything else that would grow. We saw many housies” come and go, among them was Mr. Julian whose pitch¬ ing skill kept us in awe during showers. This was also the time of our Halloween Parades when everybody wanted to be a hobo. J unie was our first chance to be waiters and eat like the biggies. sting of Mr. Sweigart’s shovel. We’ll always re¬ member the walks to breakfast, the Saturday afternoon movies, and the wonderful hours of play. In Westie” we had our first Hum ginnies the kite contests, the visits of the Good Friends Monster which always kept Mr. Brasner full of stories. Who will ever forget the old sayings I’m as round as a penny and I weigh a ton; that’s why my name is Mr. Pennington, or Here’s a nickel and there’s the sum; my name’s Mr. Nicholson.” Yes, it was the good life. Junior School Up the road, up to Junie,” where we began to know the unity of belonging to one secy” and the competition of secies” in intramural, where the govies” mothered us with firmness and with sympathy; where we learned that we had to take care of ourselves. We, the Disney¬ land,” the hours of grudging” in front of the fire place, the Student Center on Saturday afternoon, and such expressions as: around the apparatus go” and Otto Greenspan.”

High School The hours I’ve spent with thee,” in your corridors, your classrooms, your offices, and your auditorium. Friday night thrillers, N.H.S. inductions, semester examinations, trips to the office, varsity letter awards W.G.C. Friday as¬ sembly programs, class ad infinitum. For five years our lives have centered in the high school. We have been guided, inspired, molded, taught, punished and educated. To the faculty and ad¬ ministration who have lived with us through these years we gratefully express our applica¬ tion. MhIiIIc School Our Middle School years introduced us to a firmer but friendly classroom atmosphere where we began to realize that we were at school for a purpose. The fundamentals of lan¬ guage, arithmetic, science, and history became a serious study in preparation for the demands of high school work. The quality of our accom-. plishment and the essentials of good character were stressed. Sports began to play an impor¬ tant part in our lives. We were on top of the world. We were soon to rise to the status of biggies” with all its wonderful meanings. Left to Right: Mr. Maillardct, Mr. W. Zeil, Mrs. McDaniel, Mr. Sungenis. { 9 ]
