DO YOU REMEMBER? Ever since September, 1945, we have been together as a group doing things, seeing things, and learning things. Now, at the end of thirteen years, working part of each school day with each other, we look back to past moments and once again recall the excitement or apprehension of the occasion. DO YOU REMEMBER . . our sixth grade Thanksgiving play? our first year passing to classes? the fudge Miss Grimes, homeroom sold during the noon hour? Mrs. Beardsley's hectic seventh grade homeroom? the prizes we won for our floats in the Halloween parades from seventh grade through twelfth? the spelling bees in eighth grade? our first day of school in the new building? Mrs. Soletz's freshmen and their spaghetti dinners? those foreign languages Latin, Shorthand, and Chemistry, still Greek to most of us? Miss Barry and her freshman class party? those gang wars we had with the seniors? cough at lO:27. our classmates participating in sports and cheerleading? our shaky-legged attempts to give satisfactory three minute speeches in sophomore English? getting kicked out of R. jfs classes for one reason or another? those locker room battles with sneakers, etc.? writing for Mr. Wilson, a gentleman does not throw chalk or erasers in a classroomu? getting the closet for a junior homeroom? our Junior Prom, and parties afterwards? getting 12:19 for lunch? getting the back rows in assembly? Joan Marsh blowiing up the lab? Alice jones being sponged at the Halloween party? parallel parking, a major problem? rah, rahs as radios blared Groton Central closed because of the snow ? dashing down to Mr. Miller for much needed guidance? our class meetings? rehearsal for graduation? graduation night-happiness and sadness mixed? 90
