HAnd the thirty-two little bears were very sad at the end of their sixth year for Howard Falin died in his sleep on May 18, 1942. It was spring, but the little bears were not happy, as they finished their work.n nBut summer came and went. Twenty-nine little bears sauntered over to Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Barkhurst's room. They thought the bears looked so tired, they kept them there for two years until the little bears became so restless they wanted to see the big upstairs.Bes1des Goldilocks had found a comfortable bed up there, so the little bears reasoned that they could too. One-llttle bear was wandering around so they called to him, and he came along. But, no comfort was to be found. It was work as usual, buy then there was always the summer. The next year Mrs. Reppart and Mrs. Curry had replaced Miss Wilson and Mr. Butcher. But the little bears were so tired.Bes1des there were now only twenty-one little bears left. One more room to explore, one more year's work. HNow only nineteen little bears were left,n said Jane Ann soft- IV- I was one of those h8PPY little bears. I traveled that long trip. Then I faced, as the little bears do, the big, big woods.They were so frightening. There were noises, and battle echoes,oh, yes, Children. And so you shall when you take this trip.u Both children had been asleep long ago, but Jane Ann had wanted to retrace in her mind the steps of the Class of l948.She remembered each name clearly, as she spoke them aloud!
