CLASS HISTCRY In September 1943 three year old Skipper Bep py and 'Vlary toddled into the realm of education Their mam pre kindergarten activities seemed to be learning to skip during recess and flicking the car lights during the rides to and from school When the trio returned the next year they found that they had progressed beyond the childish amusement of skipping and were now spatter palnting and playing Farmer zn the Dell Their two and one half hour day lncluded many argu ments as to who should play the drums ln the kindergarten orchestra and who should run the orange crate train These differences were forgotten when, 1n first grade the three encountered printing Having mastered the alphabet, the class struggled through the classic primer imolying Dick Jane, cat Puff and dog Spot. Dutch culture was the only other course offered and many in the class spent their school time clomping around in wooden shoes vshile plugging up holes in the dike. It was necessary to take naps after all this education and as there were no cots, the class slept on blankets on the floor. One day during rest hour a mouse ran across a boy's chest and had to be killed and carried off on a rake by Mr. Jones. The class was still talking about the mouse when. in second grade, accompanied by newcomers Eph and Jay, it was discovered that the classroom was laid out in the form of a town with the aisles as streets. The members of the class took turns selling food and making change in the tmy grocery store and mailing letters at the post office The big event of the year for the postman came on Valen tlnes Day, when he had a large boxful of billets doux to deliver Third grade was ushered in with a whoop as Miss Sweigart introduced Indians their habits and customs Indeed the students even made their own deerskln robes out of sheets adorned with Indian ish crayoned symbols Finally the class members accompanied themselves 1n their Rain Dances with drums made out of ice cream cartons and inner tubes Mary Lou arrived in time for the excltements of fourth grade. lt was on one of the numerous nature walks that someone discovered an interesting- looking cocoon. It was taken back to the classroom dropped into a jar and forgotten. Several weeks later there were praying mantises in all parts of the room. lt became common for a pupil to in- terrupt a teacher by saying. l got another one, and running to the window to thrust out an unwary praying mantis. It was also during this year that the girls formed two soccer teams, the Bluebirds and the Violets. They were rather unevenly matched -Maryis Violets winning only seven games out of forty-two played against Claire Lippincott's Blue- birds. ln sixth grade, the class with its new member, War- ren. was more active than ever. The glory of safety
