■pra iv T' m amm'BimmmESi Class 'Histwy Hey there, you Seniors I How’s about a little reminiscing ’bout that good ole remember when ? well then, sit back and rest your bones, close your eyes, and we’ll go way back througn the years to fall, 1937 Yes, it’s your big day• •... . .you re entering first grade and Misses smith, Miller, and Roe are there to guide you through your first scnool year. The high school gave a Cnristmas play that year, and Miss Smith painted some of the first- grade girls to look like dolls in the play, when spring came, the whole gang got together out at Ruth williams’ farm Golly, remember how you walked and how tired you got? Yup, it was a long struggle through that first year, but we made iti Well, second grade, here we are I How about our toy orchestra with those drums, triangles, and tamberines—’member that? At recess you formed circles and chased boys and girls all over the playground; when you finally caught them, you wouldn’t let them go until they told their girl or boy friend’s names The new school building was being erected that year, and we all had to go to Saturday classes. You went only for half a day, but you bought a bottle of milk and a sandwich to tide you over. Now we’re in the new building and in third grade. By the way, you’re still catching kids in circles, yelling, Vrfho’s your boy friend , or Who’s your girl friend? This year we had to memorize poems and you really laugh- ed when Elaine Abrams recited her short poem. Fourth grade gave us even more thrills. That year Porky Hurd entered our midst Just in time to witness, along with you, Kenny Heite’s temper in action. He picked up a chair and threatened to throw it at the class. How- ever, his temper abated before the chair was thrown. Ah, yes I This is the year Bill Postles had a terrific crush on Pauline welch. You recall with glee Bill's endearing yells to Pauline, she at one end of the hall and he at the other. Marriage was in your mind this year. Lester Thompson was the preacher who married Becky and Paul Handy and Postles Joined them, if you will recall. Bill was certainly a busy young man this yearI Fall rolls around again, brings with it fifth grade It’s not difficult to remember this grade There were the noon-time dances and the Knitting Club meetings (We made quite a few blankets for the Red Cross.). We gave a wedding shower for Miss Parry at Don Hodge’s house, and you made use of the party to show off your fancy rhumbas. Remember that this was the only year the boys danced willingly with the girls? (Miss Parry had to give them a little shovel) The firls took modern dancing from Miss Smith and vexed the boys with their graceful movements. Our plays, The Little Princess , and Why The Chimes Rang , were great successes. Spring brought bike rides to Becky’s, Nancy’s, and Billy Melvin s You went to visit the Philadelphia Zoo, and the Franklin Institute The last event of the year was the trip out to Ken Heite’s Kitts Hummock cottage. School again. We’re sixth graders now. You had barn dancing and min- uets this year. (What a contrast between the twol) And we even became serious enough to play chess at noon-time The craze for movie-star photos had hit us, especially the girls;, and you were constantly swapping pictures with each other. To top the year off, all of us went swimming at Mrs Byron s AT LAST.......High SchOoll Actually, it’s only Junior High, but it’s in the high school, anyway. Miss Dimmick’s science classes were tops! Every- thing was fine and dandy when she had a crush on Lester Thorapsonl He really had a way with her, didn’t he? When Miss Dlmmick let us have a party, we played spin-the-bottle . You were pretty adept at this game because we had parties every Friday night. Handy and Bobby Andrews were dating. Ditto for Becky and Joe, and Ruth Ann and Scotty. When you were in the eighth grade,you ruled the Student Council, Junior High Student Council, that is. Y hile we were eighth-graders, we were pretty onery creatures, I guess, because we exploded caps in desks, not to mention polluting the air with stink-bombs, especially in math class. Spit balls with mud in them were the fad in Mr. Parker’s room. Handy left to go to Arizona for a while, but later returned. Dickie Everett, Evans, Prase, Keith, Shaw, Buckson and Hayes formed a band; among their earlier achieve- ments were the taking up of a collection of 50 to pay Jack Clough for play- ing with themI 11 magmmmm waaoBKEBBMani ■ m BBsnuB, ■mm mm—i nm m anm
