CHAPTER 1 HOW few people realized that in the fall of 1941 the Harbor School System was entering upon its Golden Eral How few knew that the next thirteen years were to be auspicious ones, rich in experiences and excitement! The reason? The be- ginning kindergarten class, of coursel But then, who could know that in thirteen years this nucleus of twenty-six mere children would have developed into a class of Fifty-seven individuals such as Harbor will never see again? Of course, it did not simply burst into bloom overnight; it rather grew like the slow, patient weav- ing of a tapestry, with the weaver casting out some threads, only to add others even more bright and colorful. CHAPTER II Miss Tilton, our kindergarten teacher, apparently recognized our innumerable talents immediately; for she set us to work developing both aesthetically and athletically. The field of Art re- ceived a thorough going-over by such masters as Jeannine De Noble, James Laird, Allen Nieminen, Audrey Haapula, Mariel Herlevi, David Kotila, Shirley Noble, Richard Perskari, Wilma Wagner, Eleanore Fuller, and Thomas Watts, all of whom spent much of their time drawing on the blackboards, eusels, and, occasionally, whoever had the misfortune of sitting near them. Scientific characteristics were exhibited by Charles Anderson, Nancy Beswick, Kathryn Hakala, Barbara Kellogg, Gary Russell, Janice Bolog, Shirley Carle, and Betty Sneory, who were special friends of Ramsey the Turtle. And the future athletes among us, Peter Dodge, Ronald Engel, Bob Pakkala, William Hamilton, John Riddell, Keith Lair, and Robert Peura, proved their masculine superiority once and for all when they slid down the brass pole on our class trip to the fire stationl CHAPTER III Of course, such fundamentals as first grade reading and counting held few terrors For such a group, but by the time we had reached second grade, we were glad to have some newcomers to add their talents to ours. Donna Davidson, Shirley Sidbeck, and Shirley Niemi demonstrated advanced cooking techniques when we canned tomatoes, and Linda Backlund and Frank Daniels had a lot of fun pushing everyone around in their movable seats. CHAPTER IV Our versatility was even more up arent the next year, when our homework brave y peeped out From between stickers attesting our academic t success. With a little help From John Konne, Mary Stevensfi Jacqueline Billhardt, and Elona Ruohonen, we constructed a monstrous dinosaur, using our typical ingenuity to invent a new artistic medium--paper towels. CHAPTER V We explored yet another artistic field, dramatics, in fourth grade. Having added Shirley Kopsas and Marian Lundi to our ranks, we cavorted gaily on the high school stage, reciting health rules and trying to look as rosy-cheeked as possible. CHAPTER VI Fifth grade Found us in an honored position in grade school, this was the year we held down the movie room. Aided by Jack PFetsch, we solemnly went about our duties of pulling down shades, closing doors, etc. , end enthusiastically saw each movie twice through. There were other diversions, too, such as the grade school carni- val at Wenner Field, where classmates, Mary Stevens and Richard Perskari were crowned king and queen.
