In the second grade we gained five new classmates. Nothing much exciting happened. We spent most of our time coloring and drawing pictures. When we entered third grade, our class had grown to fourteen. Ne had to settle down to work and write our spelling words 100 times a- piece. Standing in the corner seemed to our favorite pastime for most of us in the fourth grade. I guess it became a little noisy when all fifteen of us were talking at once. Our fifth grade was greatly increased when the country kids came into town. This added twelve new students to our class and made a total of twenty-two, the largest class we have ever had. You shouldn't have been surprised to see someone getting hit over the head with a fifteen inch ruler because it was practically an every- day occureance in the sixth grade. We thought we were really growing up when we came into junior high! We enjoyed Miss Shirley reading to us and really missed it when, because of shortage of rooms and too many first and second graders, we were moved up into high school during our eighth grade. We had quite a time getting used to the schedule and found ourselves in the wrong room many times. We were eager to become high school students but were a little frightened about the initiation awaiting us upon our arrival into the ninth grade. It wasn't as bad as we had planned though, and we enjoyed the party afterwards very much. There are now fifteen students in our sophomore class and a large percentage are in band or go out for basketball. We are looking for- ward to 1953 with great anticipation.
