HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS Early in September, 1916, twenty-five children marched in a decorous lockstep to jail, and spent a happy year there with Miss McCafferty. Once when a man was put in jail, we all had a shaky feeling, but little Franklin Moon encouraged us by saying, Don't be scared. I have my little pop gun. The next year our journeys were to the basement of the old school building. To teach us thrir nz, that year, we handed our money to Miss McCafferty who saved it until we purchased a flag. We had most peculiar ways of showing our anger there. A cer- tain Jacky, of whom we have heard nothing since the third grade, once became so pro- voked at the teacher that he kicked his shoes off on to the teacher's desk. -In the fourth grade Miss Ackley led us through one of our most delightful years. We all agree that she has a most happy way of combining study and pleasure for everyone's benefit. Lhe sixth grade held unknown terrors for the idlers, we soon found, for Miss Hale could use the Ye Olde Hickory to the best advantage. This, however, did not spoil our fun for we had many picnics and bacon bats. The seventh and eighth years, with Miss McLees and Miss Ackley, were very busy ones. We were represented by five members in the State Music Memory Contest, and Shelton Carlisle came home with a prize. We had several class parties and a Christ- mas Tree. The spelling and history contests were well attended and all three prizes were carried off by our class. -Frances Guckert 28

The first five years of my school life held little excitement except that of studying and playing with dolls. . When I entered the fifth grade I began to notice my male companions as Well as the girls. However, I little realized, in spite of my observations, that, short, fat Russell Geil, who appeared to be in love Cwithl? Margie Latta, would someday be a great athle- tic star for G. H. S. Neither did I think that Iva McLain, Who was characterized by her husky lungs on the Basket Ball floor would turn out to be Granville High Sch0ol's best singer. - , On a certain night after the preliminary Oratorical Contest held at recital hall, I was indeed proud that I belonged to the class of Green and White. Freshman A ! do you remember the day when We went to school to take the final Algebra Exam, only to joyfully find out that Harvey had excused the Whole class. Well, I do. This is merely an example of the brain Work We have exhibited. In the fall of 1924 We assembled as Sophomores in the New High School Building. We are now nearing the close of what we consider a successful year. Many changes have taken place-a number of our friends have left for other schools but in return many new ones have come. In a short time We will reluctantly pass into the Junior Year, for We realize that each year brings us close to the end of our happy days in Gran- ville High School. -W. J., S. B. and F. L. 27

History The Monday after Labor Day, in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, A. D., seemed to be the end of happiness to fifty bad little children. Our room was in the basement and a dark one it was. We entered by steps from the outside or by a door on the inside and there was always a rush when the door opened to see who could get his seat first. School was easy then, for our duties were to add two and two and to draw Nature's most wonderful works with our crayons. Were we bad in the fourth grade? Ask Miss Ackley! Oh! but We had to work. Miss Ackley had no pity for us and I don't believe we deserved much to tell the truth. We were punished by having our names put on the board and every time we said oh. or com- plained of our lengthy lessons, whispered or moved in our seats, we received a mark after our names. A In the fifth grade Miss Townsley offici ated. She is to be congratulated that she survived the ordeal. Several times she got especialyly rash and paddled one of the boys. We had a rocking desk here. There was a desk in the back of the room whose front legs were not screwed to the floor and whenever one of us was bad, but not bad enough to be sent to the cloakroom we were put in that seat. As is proved by this history our school days have been pleasant and we have got- ten along fine. If all the remaining years of school are so pleasant our school days will be a pleasant remembrance to alml of us. -Sallie Jones 29
