We acTu- ally Tound ourselves becoming Tond oT Midwood. 'l'haT June we really sTuclc our noses in The air. Our mixed Chorus sang aT Carnegie Hall. We Turned The page and concluded Two years in Midwood l-ligh School. Juniors! Remember ThaT Tamous quoTe? To school or noT To schoolf' ThaT was The quesTion.

l-low many Times have you saT and ThoughT oT your pasT years aT Midwood? As you meander Through Time you laugh aT recollecTions which may have seemed like Tragedies when They occurred. LeT's TransTer ourselves back Through Time and see wheTher we can remember some oT Those vague experiences ThaT are buried in The deepesT corners oT our brains. SepTember Il, I95Ol ThaT day seems To be a TavoriTe Tor our imaginaTions To run away with. JusT whaT would happen once Those seemingly wel- come and Triendly doors closed behind us? Would The Teachers be kindly, moTherly, benevolenT indi- viduals, or would They resemble lvlarTians wifh ThaT Third big blood shoT eye used only Tor reading TesT papers? Ah well! WiTh an almosT unbiased and clear mind, we seT abouT looking Tor our rooms. 1'-XTTer I5 minuTes oT uTTer conTusion and Three Trips around The building, we arrived. SelecTing a seaT in The lasT row, we Tried To Dig whaT ThaT Kool Teacher was saying. WhaT a landslide! WhaTever did she mean by program cards, delaney cards, pink cards? All oT a sudden a TrighTening noise reached our poor overworked ears. Are we being aTTacked? No. GeT down Trom The walls children. lT's only Dr. Ross exTending his greeTings. Well, we Tloundered Through ThaT Term and Tinally earned The TiTles oT Civilized Freshiesln Much To our surprise, we came Through The enTire episode unscaThed. Eleanor RoosevelT won The FDR. award and came To Midwood ThaT year. Our Third Term was an imporTanT one. The ban on exTra-curricular acTiviTies was liTTed. ThaT meanT The reTurn of our sporTs and clubs. To celebraTe we all ioined The BoosTers. We even indulged in a pep rally, compleTe wiTh band and cheerlead- ersl As a group oT happy, unsuspecTirig children, we rushed To enioy our TirsT meal in The caTeTeria. If you see Things moving beTore your eyes, don'T go To an occulisT. Relax! You're alrighT. lT's iusT The Tlying saucer season. Everyone else is seeing Them so why noT be in sTyle?
