l 1 1 1 -Y l ' .- ,lenion C ga Ili fo q The hour approaches for this happy group of five and six your olds to make their debut into the scholastic world by entering Miss Brown's first grade, and the clock of knowledge moves its intellectual hands to one, signifying the first year of our school experience in 1928 and 29. During this memorable year many first impressions were eg guide us throughout the rest of our pedantic career, including certain rules of disci- pline which, needless to say, are characteristic to every institution of learning but are often disregarded in favor of some original ideas. A little girl with box-bangs and wide-open, alert brown eyes gazes at those who are destined to become her classmates for the ensuing twelve years little realizing that in the course of that long period she would sit through innumerable classes and partici- pate in countless activities with these same individuals who now confronted her, alln0W totally encompassed by their new aspect of life. We learned within a few days that tnls observing child was none other than Mr. and Mrs. Rasbach's little girl, Jean, who was starting out to gain an education as was also a chubby little elf sitting in front of her who was discovered to belong to the McEachern family on Columbia Street. As weeks passed, Earl Cthen, Juniorl Hilts assumed the air of the blond, gallant, heart-throb who held the profound admiration of several of the feminine members of the class, while George Morgan's brown, flashing eyes captivated the childish hearts of numerous bashful lasses who always chose him to be itn for the daily recessional games. Such flirtations have thus continued throughout our school life--perhaps on a more subtle basis--but nevertheless, flirtations. In second 'rade with Miss Fuller as our guide we explored the mysteries of sub- traction and received a smattering of English grammar--under the assumed name of See and Say. During this year we assumed the responsibilities of disciplining ourselves because as Miss Fuller was the principal of the school, it was necessary for her to be absent from the class room ouite frequently. We were now on our way to maturity. As our scholastic clock completes its second swing and launches upon a third revolution we find ourselves milling around in Mrs. Mergenthaler's third grade, feeling generally very grown up because--after all, weren't we the oldest and the most advanced class on the first floor? However, this designation was not to offer us any additional privileges as we were to discover, in fact, quite to the contrary, that we had to buckle down to lessons. This, too, had its reward, though, in the form of the Wizard gf QQ, read to us by'Mrs. Merventhaler every Friday afternoon for about an hour. The round of this clock that struck Miss Sheridan's room full in the face with us was the beginning of a most enlightening year filled with the new mysteries of frac- tions and long division. Billy Smith was an addition to our proud croup at this time and he has thus far proved himself worthy of such membership. The fifth swing of the hands of our room with our minds occupied with having fun. scholastic clock found us in Miss Ellis's Dlring this year we acnuired Phyllis Pat- rick, a transfer from Ilion who has remained just as sweet as when she first came to us. When Miss Williams received our class lv reached its culmination of enrollment. We the grade school and all the other grades were up to that reputation and this forced us to be the first year that we elected officers and to endure for a whole year, it had probab- had then attained the highest position in under classmen. Naturally, we had to live well-behaved, if not, dignified. This was we chose for our leaders, Jean Rasbach as President, George Morgan, Vice-President, Jane McEachern, Secretary, Lucille Stitt Treasurer. Vpon.our arrival at the High School building, our worthy group represented the most bewildered herd of humans that one could imagine. These strange new ways were as confusing to our inexperienced clade as electric lights to a herd of cattle. However, we managed to tolerate patiently the queer actions of both the new teachers and the students who had already made this adjustment in their scholastic careers until we, too, became victims of the ceaseless struggle. In seventh grade, our class was divided and it remained so throughout eighth grade until our entrance into high school. Miss Mienin carefully directed the affairs of our group while Miss Fogarty managed the rest. Darin? this year, we embarked upon sever- al social activities which were new experiences including class parties and picnics. The eighth decisive period on our educational history marked a new awakening to the mysteries of higher education. By now we were settling down to a comfortable easi- ness in our new surroundings. The day was drawing nigh when many gangling boys, and gigglinn qirls were to en- ter high school as freshmen under the supervision of Mrs. Ida R. Smith. Certainly, this
