Bricks and Ivy Class History GGANOTHER bunch of squirts! was the all too audible comment of a tall, lanky Senior when he first stumbled over our class 'way back in 1934. This unflatter- ing opinion changed Cwe hopej somewhat when Homeroom 121 presented the famous Chinese dragon play for assembly, and when 127 came forth with Thirty Minutes in The Street . Homeroom 227 demonstrated their interpretation of acting a little later in the year, too. Welll never forget our frank and embarrassing bewilderment when first we heard discussion of the budget in assembly. Democratic management of a school is certainly wonderful! In the seventh grade we also took up the study of etiquette in the Social Studies classes, and so, to show off our beautiful manners, we felt obliged to give a party. Remember? We want on our first excursion that year to Kingston Point and had a glorious time riding on the merry-go-round, too. The rest of the seventh year is a bit foggy to our now so ancient minds, but one thing welll not forget is those funjsophisticated doings of the A Group! Eighth grade marked the entrance of our athletic leader, Johnnie Fink, into Milne-Johnnie, the boy who became our Student Council President the next year. Incidentally, do you remember the school-wide excitement over those campaigns? That year, parties became quite the vogue, and we found ourselves up to the ears in a social whirl. Our class held the first annual sailboat race in our eighth year, and Guy Childs won the cup! And wasnlt it that year that we first became acquainted with Field Day? We'll not forget the general relief felt when, unexpectedly, the exams for admission to the ninth grade were called off about two days before the suffering was to begin. Yes, the eighth grade was a great year. Remember the feud when the girls and boys were not on speaking terms? Somewhere along in here, either in the eighth or ninth grades, Bismarck made his appearance. Surely you remember Bismarck, the pet of the little man who wasn't there, the playful canine Milnite who was invited to every class and caused so much confusion, confusion entirely out of proportion to his diminutiveness. More than one teacher must have considered adopting glasses to see exactly who Bismarck was, but we just wouldn't tell, would we? Ninth year and slam books came in simultaneously, with the Student Council Ugoing to town. Though we looked down on the seventh graders Cas a clas's, onlyj, the Seniors still stepped all over us-oh, to be a Senior! This year ushered in our first three-hour exams which left us in a semi-conscious state, and made us wonder if We were seeing things when the boys suddenly appeared in pink, yes, we said pink, aprons. There was no cause for alarm, though-it was only the Cooking Club. One of the first things we remember about the tenth grade was Bob Meghreblian's mural, painted for Homeroom 127, for which he was rewarded with a model airplane kit. And then we were rushed and properly initiated into the various societies, Quin, Sigma, Theta Nu, and Adelphoi. Invitations to inter-society affairs brought many a thrill and precipitated more than one romance that finally ended in the exchange of pins. This year, we became officially organized as the Class of '40, with Johnnie Fink at the helm. We believe we were the hrst class to be organized, complete with constitu- tion, so early in life in Milne. We are proud to announce that we were the first class to wear our school rings in the Junior year-enterprising, weren't we? With Russ Jones leading us, we ripped through an eventful year in 1938-39. We gave the first dance to be presented by a Junior class, a nickolodion affair which we called the Travel Hop. And that year, one Page twenty-seven
