Second grade brought Miss Warren as our teacher and Nancy Butler, Frances Crolick, Mabel Teske, Alfred Maramao, Gordon Nodine, William Pollock, Jack Sandford, Harry Litchison, and Ar- thur Russell as new classmates. We shall never forget the empty food containers that we each saved for the store we had in the back of our room. We are quite certain this made us money con- scious! The next year was third gradeg our teacher was Miss Naatz. New classmates this year were Betty Bender, Donald Ripka, Donald Schroeder, Edgar Townsend, and Stuart Wilhoite. This advancement gave us ourfirst geography class and the study of cave men and those difficult 2x2's. New pupils in the fourth grade were Antoinette Ecker, Gerald Douglas, Leo La Clair, Mark Leach, john Magill, and Arlow Morgan. It was during this year that some of us made our first dra- matic stage appearance. Under the direction of our teacher, Miss Wyman, we presented the play, 'Hansel and Gretel.' We were quite proud of our performance! ln the fifth grade our teacher was Miss Kelley and new pupils were Frances Hill, Violet Philo, Doris Kastler, Margaret Leach, Leslie Hill, Carl Cooper, and Richard Ogden. Sixth grade brought Miss Fisher as our teacher, and only one new classmate - Gerald Crittenden. We were eager to pass this year so we might climb the stairs each day to the seventh grade and the top floor of the building. At last! With our teachers Mrs. Fromey and Mrs. Mac Intyre we found seventh grade considerably en- joyable. Our new classmates this year were janet Brownell, Shirley Courcy, Arlie Billington, Mary Petterelli, Mildred Sutton, Joyce Crittenden, Alice Luce, Irene Leach, james Callaghan, Thomas Dixon, Robert Gardner, George Wood, Milton Adsit, Le Roy Beechner, Russell Ratliff, Edward Wilson, and Andrew Casey. ln the eighth grade we found our home room teacher, Miss Greene, joan Shelley, Edward Benz, Gaynard Chapman, George Everson, Bernard Gerthoffer, Ken- neth johnson, Bradley Raynor, Robert Sandford, Richard Sutton, Richard Teske, George Van Skoik, and those regents papers.

With the coming of September 1950 we each eagerly awaited our Senior-and last-year. Our class advisors were Miss Farrell and Mr. Maxwell. William Ostrowski, a Senior of the class of 1950, joined us to complete his English course. From September until March we dreamed of the days of our Senior trip, which we all enjoyed over Easter vacation. During the early part of the year we studied our lines for our class play, 'Who Killed Aunt Caroline? Other activities were our chick- en supper, the Senior Ball, and finally Class Night and graduation.
