SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS . . LET'S REMINISCE . . Back in '35, a group of shy boys and girls first found their way inside that imposing brick structure . . the school house. lt was a great day for us. We were greeted by Miss Thomas in our first year and it was there we be- gan to learn the meaning of going to school. We left Miss Thomas with a big smile and transferred our childish affection to our second grade teacher, Miss Clint. ln our third year, it wwas on Miss Shepard's desk that we left our shiny, red applesg here we became more and more skilled in the three Rs , . readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic Our fourth grade was divided . . some had Miss Howland, while others had Miss Dayton. We found our stay with these teachers to be a very pleasant one. Mrs. Galbraith greeted us with many parties that will never be forgotten, Here, work and play wtere well combined. We were again divided in our sixth year. Miss Gilman and Miss O'Harri- gan prepared us for lunior High. Many of us will never forget those Geogra- phy classes of Miss Gilman's. We found that lunior High was very exciting, Miss Mertz helped' us to make the necessary adjustments, and we began growing up fast . . at least we thought wwe had arrived. Never to be forgotten is the day when we proudly marched into our Fresh- man Home Room. Miss Huntington kept us in line, but willingly supervised our many activities, which made us feel that our social whirl had begun. We like to recall the hay ride and the Vic dances. Our Sophomore year was a pleasant one, although our activities were few in number. Mrs, Lamphier took over in the capacity of Class Advisor in our third year, and our stay with her was a bit stormy at times, but fun. Memories of the Iunior Prom, with the rainbow theme, still linger in our minds. Then some- thing different was added . . a round-and-square dance . . which proved to be a great success financially. The arrival of our class rings was an import- ant event. We were the first class to adopt what we hope will be a standard crest. President . ,. Iay Ge1Se Vice-President ,...
