Class History LOWER SCHOOL T was in the fall of 1932 that eleven far-from-eager little boys followed their Mamas' coat-tails through the iron gates, and first viewed with mingled awe and doubt the elm-shaded campus. Of these, Bill Clafiin and Bill Farnsworth have managed to run the gauntlet of the all that Moses Brown had to offer. Under the gentle and patient guidance of Miss Woodbury, we who have finished, and the rest, went through the uncertainty of the first year of school with practically no casualties. We built the house of the Three Pigs from a pile of ponderous wooden blocks, played in the sandbox, and had magnificent, if painful, games of tag on the iron bars in the playground. Once a week we marched gaily over to Mr. Howe's workshop, and staggered back to class, laden with wood scraps, from which our unwieldy hammers fashioned grotesque and novel objects. The highlight of our academic year was Father and Son Day, when we had a chance to display our ath- letic potentialities. In the first primary, under Miss East- man's firm but gentle hand, our education really got underway, with our lessons in writing, some wicked, mathematically im- possible flash-cards, and our first attempts at reading. Bob Lownes joined us this year, and contributed to our production of Little Black Sambo, our first taste of drama. We met Miss Crawford and the second grade. Our ranks were swelled considerably by the inimitable Cub Langdon. We were introduced to French by Madame Warge, who insisted that we were the best class she had ever had CMonday, Wednes- day, and Fridayj and the worst fTuesday and Thursdayj. Presently we became quite proficient in ordering Thanksgiving dinner, en frangais. l 29 Third grade with Miss Wilson was the highlight of our lower school life thus far. Although we were run with an iron hand in class, our patience was rewarded by fre- quent trips to Rhode Island's places of interest. This year we first learned what tragedy meant, when our classmate Don- ald Murdock died. In his memory, his mother gave the class of '46 a fund with which to buy books, which have aided us throughout our school years. We are deeply grateful to Donny's mother for this lasting memorial. In 1937 we entered the first intermediate, Miss Pixley's grade. This year we eagerly exhausted ourselves and Miss Eastman on our enlightening nature hikes. Also enjoyed were our Friday afternoons with Mr. Gray, who exposed us to the Damrosch Music Hour. We moved into the main building the following year, were oriented by Miss Chappell, and with the enthusiasm of a swarm of boll weevils, at once set about investigating the raising and manufacture of cotton. We took great pride in our Pageant of America, which we wrote and produced ourselves. The following year, under the Evans- Hoyt regime, we were joined by Milt Brier and Howie Armburst. Never to be forgotten are the happy hours we passed learning to paint with Miss Buffum and Mr. Cole. Our artistic talent had a marked tendency to manifest itself on the faces and clothing of our classmates more often than on the provided paper. Our show for the year was a streamlined H.M.S. Pinafore, which made Memphis Bound sound like a swan song. During our last year in the Lower School, we were suppressed and depressed by Pop Allen's table tests, Miss Davis' grammar tests, Tod Butler's grammar tests, and Mr. Brigham's history tests and l -1 Emg an HALL-rams mvmndierrsi 1 -r----ss- 3 'I O ,I - -,
