Class History Dearie, do you remember- the chowder parties down by the seashore, every Fourth of July? Test your memory- Do you remember the first time we trod the tarvied circle and fought for the best seats, only to be calmed by Miss Koons and Mrs. Dice? Or the time when Buddy Moyer won the butter we all took part in making? The Christmas operetta, Christmas With the Old Woman in the Shoe, gave us all our first experience with the drama. Yes, that was some year! How about second grade, when we all took part in the rhythm bands directed by Ralph Balliet and Bob WertmanP The girls began their culinary skills by mak- ing Christmas cookies, aided by Mrs. Coodenow, who tried to explain the process of coating sand- tarts with eggwhites. This was a procedure which they found hard to understand. Mrs. Hoffman's 'candy shop' really had a booming business every noon hour. She had quite a time trying to keep track of her home room students and also the money of the high schoolersf' After two years we were ready to move on. Feeling a little grown up, we decided to have a sleigh ride, just like the big boys and girls. Mn Stahl, with his sleigh and team of horses, gave us quite a thrill in the midwinter cold. Of course, our teachers, Miss Stahl and Miss Shook, were along to chaperone. Elevating our education by climbing the stairs, we were exposed to a new system of changing classes. Miss Renninger tried to convert our crude etchings into a correct form of penmanship, while Mrs. Smith was occupied by training our vocal chords. . Everyone was stepping lightly that year, pos- sibly due to his training in dancing the minuet as a portion of the play entitled Martha and George Washingtorfs Tea Party, performed at a P. T. A. meeting in February. Y Having butterflies in our stomachs was not an unfamiliar sensation, either. What about our presentation of Aloe Lin- coln's Store? Miss Keener spent a lot of time directing us in our parts and helping us collect the boxes, cans, and other properties needed in making the store look authenicf' Yes, and Miss Griffith turned our thoughts toward the scientific aspect of life by teaching us to read thermometers, to understand weather forecasts, and even to do a little weather pre- dicting ourselves. Donald Marshall and Maryland Luft both stirred up quite a commotion when they became members of our class during the year. Mrs. Stine and Miss Castor were really astonished when the 'weaker sex' came out the victors in a tug of war during a gym exhibition for P. T. A., the fellows actually kept quiet Cfor a little time at leastl following their defeat. But in spite of this, puppy love managed to bite Bob Wertman and Ieanne Odon, Bill Wallis and Janie Myers, Max Whipple and Nancy Waltman, Roy Maurer and Maryland Luft, and Skip Stroup and Shirley Milheim's heart after a rousing game of 'Prison'l Dancing class and the 5th and 6th Grade Clee Club added to the more cultural side of our 6th grade life. Then came the thrill and excitement of entering junior high school. Changing classes on a large scale, screen reports, and weekly chapel programs Cto which we were escorted by Mrs. Arthur and Miss Waldronl included in our new activities. Language and Science Clubs were organized by Miss Eustis and Miss Withers, the new ad-
