Ye Olde Pompositticut. Two early issues of the Pompositticut , one dated January 1914, and the other, June 1915 have recently come into the hands of the Class of 1953. These yearbooks were printed thirty- nine years ago, and have been carefully pre served by Mrs. Carl Thompson who kindly lent them to our class for comparison. This book differs greatly from ours. It is smaller, with fewer pages, no pictures of the graduates or of school activities, yet reading through the pages, you quickly realize that the same class spirit existed then as now, There were baseball, basketball, prize speaking, de- bating teams, etc, There was competition with schools An example given of a remark of one of You say you cannot hear what lam tell you again The class of 1915 believed in this The The The The in other towns, but above all there were class jokes. the teachers back in 1914 was say1ng'P Well repeat what you did not hear and Iwill grassy Freshmen sassy Sophomores brassy Juniors classy Seniors In these yearbooks it was customary to list the names of the graduates not only of the class of that year but of several years previous lt is interesting to note that many years there were but two Seniors to graduate The yearbook states that prior to the year V914 there had been thirteen graduations in Stow with approximately fifty graduates Looking over the lists of names we find many who are still in town today Think back perhaps you are one of the graduates And then there are many who have taken up residence in other parts of the country In the front of this book is a picture of the edi or 1al staff the only picture in the book there are three girls and five boys whose clothes proved of interest to the class of 1953 The boys appear neat dignified and serious in their dark suits and stiff collars there were no sport clothes worn to school in those days The girls are wearing high buttoned shoes partially hidden under long dresses or middy blou es and skirts there were no nvlons Let s salute the editorial staff of these early yearbooks the years 1 4 and 1915 Perhaps fifty years from now a Senior when thinking of material to make his yearbook interesting will haxe before him the Pompositticut of 1953 Carol A Vtetherbee Do You Remember?
