Senicvz 61644 Jlww, FRESH farm HOW, from grammar school, we entered Milne and confidently took our I. tests-results: no I. During the very first assembly we were made embarrassingly con- spicuous. Before the whole school we were dismissed and made to march out single file, ears burning, as the other grades looked us over and commented-and what comments. At the end of two weeks, however, we were seasoned veterans, climbing the right stairs, and acting like we owned the Annex. Remem- ber how the Social Studies classroom chairs afforded us much entertainment. In smart- aleek fashion we would tip them way back, and perch precariously. Then the teacher would spot the guilty one and yell, and the startled student would go over backwards. Do you remember Sue's birthday party? We were in- itiated into the daring game of Post-Office. Joyce Knapp ran round and round in a big closet with a would-be wolf pursuing deter- minedly. Miss Hayes' homeroom held a Val- entine party, and lean Fig had a Buster-Brown. haircut. We still didn't know the Alma-Mater all the way through, and would open our mouths wide when it was played, trying to look as if we were singing lustily. That year we attended our first excursion, and the more ad- venturous of us hung over the rails watching the water, then dashed back to the deck-chairs -hoping. Two of our seventh graders won the Iunior High Prize Speaking contest, Tom McCracken and Elinor Yaguda, and every- thing ended in a rosy glow as we attended our first formal. Back to school as eighth graders, and didn't the new seventh graders look small. We'd started skipping gym already, and learned to slip through the tunnel to get to the Annex. What a mad race trying to get the nickel in the coke machine before the sign went up. By the way, that was the year we were lectured long and earnestly on the evils of coke, but it didn't seem to do much good, bewildered teachers discovered us drinking it at nine o'clock in the morning. Games in the locker room were stimulating, such as the time Miss Hayes caught the girls playing hide-and-go-Seek. She entered just as Mari- lyn Bates was shouting, H1-2-3-O11 Miss Hayes! Were our faces red! ,The boat races were inaugu- rated and Al Bingham and Bob Beckett were That was the year we had the twenty-minute lunch period, and had two A. Ifs in the class- A. Ferguson and A. Rockenstyre. Evi- dently the coincidence made things chummy because they started going out together. About this time our artistic instincts emerged and we decorated the English Room with self-designed plaques, and the following year did the Art Room. The outstanding event of the year was jimmy McClure and Harold Dodge's swallowing live goldfish. For weeks we watched them intently, expecting them to collapse at any minute. In our Freshman year we went out for cheer- leading and yelled enthusiastically at the pep- rallies. Arden Flint was president of Iunior High and we were pretty important as the top grade in Iunior High. That was also the year we started applying lipstick in the locker-room and covertly rubbing it off again after school. Iohn Prince learned how to horrify most of his teachers by simply dropping his two front teeth in the midst of conversation, and he carried around a wired brief case that really shocked any curious pedagogues. Dr. Moose introduced us to the experience of dissecting fish, and for two weeks we wcnt around holding our noses. At this point some of us decided not to become great surgeons. Contrary to previous harmony thc famous feud between the boys and the girls was started. When the dance ftheme was a Merry-Go- Round and horses were prancing all over the wallsj rolled around the boys took eighth the proud winners. i23l
