. . ,.-9,-E-- ,- Dear Gmic, just so you will be completely familiar with our Senior Class of '54, we are writing you this letter. After you have read it, we're sure that you will agree that our class is one that you'll always remember. Let's go back to the very start of our journey through the grades on a magic carpet, and take a look at our kindergarten class of 1942. Believe it or not, there are only seven lucky people that rode the magic carpet all the way through. Sally Randall, Ernest Skinner, june Root, jean Anderson, Steven Alexander, Nancy Marble and Bobby Ben- nett were the ones who gave Miss Whitney a hard time, and ever since that first year, they have been giving teachers plenty to think about. If you were to gaze into your crystal ball of the past, Genie, you would behold many children hopping onto our magic carpet ride through the grades. The first to come into view would be Skip Garner, Paul Neuman and Clarabelle Cutler getting on in first grade, and then Val Bower, Donel Sweeney, Gordie Fellows and Grace Ripley hitching a ride on the carpet in second grade. In the third grade, Don Lansdowne, Gwink Potter, Dick Marvin and Dick Lindsay climbed aboard. Dick almost fell off our carpet at times because of clowning, but, luckily, we rescued him from taking the plunge. During this year, our carpet caught on fire and we all thought our school days were over. Quickly we bought a transfer ticket and hopped on the next carpet to come along. Our ride was fairly bumpy as we rode through the fourth and fifth grades in the Capitol Theatre basement and in an empty ice cream store. However, we managed to pick up johnny Hammon, Shirley Lawson, John Bean, Jeannine Bell, june Breeds, Kenny Cook and Donna Stevely as we sailed past. Miss judge was our teacher then and ,we can still remember the mild way we were sometimes treated, especially if we talked too much. jean Anderson, Sally Randall and Gwen Potter spent hours on the play- ground in search of boys with which to teeter-totter and play softball. Susie Bowker, our present day bundle of happiness, Gloria Samson, Wilma Redfield ther name is Wilma not Haroldj, iron man Don Reynolds, Dawn fnot sunsetj Cooper and Yvonne Champion joined our super-duper carpet in the sixth grade. In those days we used to stretch our vocal cords to their utmost while we had singing instructions and people within a mile radius of the CCC shacks would swear our class had the loudest, even if not the worst, voices in Homer Academy. In our seventh grade we moved into the old, high school and at first some of us were lost in this new strange place Our carpet made several stops at Preble Scott and McGraw to load on more passen- gers Among the people who purchased tickets were John Steger Charlotte Sutton flucky for Kenj, Peg- gy Park jim fLincolnj Reagan, Paul Albro flucky ' for the girlsj and, last, but not least, Francis Austin. Mr Kline made us feel very much at home in our 5 new environment, along with the aid of Miss Stoker, Mrs Carty and Miss Fuller. In eighth grade we A W started going to games and dances. Right about this x time Rosabelle Smith, Flora May Coit and Ardie ! X Allen climbed aboard also. Val Bower had returned . L, from Florida and England at the same time, and we loved to listen to her rather English accent - you f'-J know old chap. Some girls became interested in fai- cheering and started to root for our eighth grade in- -5h : 1v ei X.. I if 1 In the freshman class, our carpet stopped at Scott '4 once again to pick up more passengers. Betty Wall wg-A and Barb Thomas four great musicians, provided ,lg 1 our carpet with plenty of music. Also from Scott I came Sonny Hollister, Cynthia Sharp, LaVerna Elmer Z Y f v ........Con1inued an Page 56
