Closs History LOWER SCHOOL CLUSTER of reluctant boys, sur- rounded by talkative mothers and sleepy fathers, assembled in the Pre-Prim- ary room in September 1935 to form the newest group of young hopefuls at Moses Brown. At that time most of us were con- tent to call Miss Woodbury Hey, miss - - all of us, in fact, except Franny Sargent, who preferred the appellation Mrs, Wood- enbury in memory of a long-lost Gordon School teacher. Once acclimated to other people, to the sandbox, and to reading, we were introduced to Miss Buifum, who, for all her labors, was rewarded only with many lop-sided ships with multi-colored portholes. joe Payan and the two Emerys as three melancholy Russians highlighted our production of Foreign Children, while others of us became momentarily a junior United Nations assembly. Mentally we returned from these foreign parts just in time to send some stubby-legged indi- viduals into our first Father and Son Day races. The next fall we were introduced to Miss Eastman, to the Weekly Reader, and to the daily story hour in the afternoon. We all sought to avoid the humiliation of having to put our initials on the blackboard for tardiness, but nearby candy stores and the winter's storms soon worked havoc with our unblemished records. Dave Graham, previewing greater things to come, por- trayed King Midas in our assembly, while the rest of the stage was filled by embar- rassed boys dressed as jonquils, daffodils, and other sweet, spring flowers. Miss Crawford found out, the next year, that our class had added Bill Hoey and Bert Nichols. Madame Warge arrived weekly in addition to our regulars, Mrs. Annin fwhose Friday morning musicales were the thingj and Miss Buffum. Madame insisted we were the best class yet, but we did our best to disprove her. Miss Craw- ford, on the other hand, was the recipient of some certainly unwanted advice: Dave Lownes desired that she have her hair cut. When the majority of the class added their approval, she allowed herself to be per- suaded, much to the general delight. That year Walt Disney readers entertained us, and subtraction tolled the knell for many of us. All in all, the time passed quickly. Although Miss Wilson's years should be remembered for many things - the box for our carefully labeled new fountain pens, the pre-holiday popcorn feasts, and a tour of the State House-only one thing re- mains of paramount importance to us: our production of Robin Hood. Dick Lemon played the title role, with Cannell as Little john, Sargent as Friar Tuck, Graham as the King, and Payan as the rotund Dame Daleg however, only one aspirant, Bert Nichols, could be coerced into playing Maid Marian. Many fist fights were staged to prove and reprove our heroine's masculinityg but in the final presentation, according to all, he Qshej was marvelous. A few weeks after the performance Mrs. Sopkin took a movie of the whole play, and afterwards Mrs. Emery entertained Qand fedj us on a coun- try picnic. At last we found ourselves during our year with Miss Pixley in the longed-for double room. As First Intermediates we immediately raised havoc by tipping over the piano, startling Mrs. Annin. Our sole scholastic achievement was made by Hoey, who composed the saga Murder in the Bath- room, which was promptly banned. With our new member, joe Johnston, we trooped over to Alumni Hall Friday afternoons to hear Dr. Damrosch's program. Hi Emery one day told our esteemed teacher that she was silly after she had read us Pigs Is Pigs, and was so excited that he fell out of his l29l
