THE 1936 KRABBA History of the Class of ’36 “Uncle Walter.” “Yes?” “When did you go to high school?” “Oh—a long time ago.” “Say, how about putting that newspaper down and telling me all about it. I’ll be going to high school myself, in a few weeks. I want to see how much the times have changed.” “All right, if you insist.” Uncle Walter, who was Mr. Walter C. Williamson to everyone except his youthful nephew, Johnnie, put aside his newspaper and began. “Well, Johnnie, I didn ' t go to high school in New York, as you will.
