Class History A typical scene about this time of the year is a group of seniors, probably at the drugstore, talking over a coke . If we could eavesdrop a little, we would soon decide by the reminiscent looks on their faces that they are recalling all the good times they have had together in grammar school and in high school. If we could listen in, the conversation would probably go like this: Do you remember in the first grade at Atkinson Grammar School the day we had a play? 'jonesy' was the queen of the fairies with a magic wand. I remember that because I was a pansy. Yes, I remember that. I think I was a little butterfly. 'iAnd do you recall the day Patricia wanted to take her scissors home with her, but Mrs. Dyer wouldn't let her? She cried and kicked so much that they had to call her daddy to come for her. Remember in the second grade at Maggie Brown how we used to go into Mrs. Kirby's room once a week for singing lessons? I liked that. And what about the long switch that Mrs. Chapman always had? She kept it growing in a jar of water. I-Ier switches certainly did grow tall. And remember that day in the third grade when we started using ink? Oh, how our mothers regretted that day! I am afraid we often looked as if we had 'blue measles', even on our clothes. It surely did make us feel grown up when we first started writing with pen and ink. But the main thing I remember that year is that the third grade at Maggie Brown was so large that we had to be divided. I was very much disappointed to be separated from some of my friendsf, What did you think about all the surplus food we received in the fourth grade? Oh, yes, I thought it was good. I especially enjoyed the grapefruit and the canned milk. Well, I liked the tomatoes and the pork and beans also. It was during this year that our teacher, Miss Florence, had to stop teaching school and Mrs. Cannichael took her class. VVe surely did miss Miss Florence, but we were glad to have Mrs. Carmichael to teach us. Do you remember how pleased we were in the fifth grade when we got a radio at school? We enjoyed listening to the programs very much. It was too bad they didn't have W. C. O. I-I. thenf' That reminds me of the record player we had at Temple Avenue. Somebody CI think it was Barbara AnneD brought one to school, and we leamed several songs listening to the records over and over. Wasn't it that year that Anne and Bob got married? Do you remember that play? Guess who supplied the music! 'Junebug' was the organ grinder. The sixth grade boys and girls at Temple Avenue certainly were industrious that year. They went on a cleaning up spree. They even washed the windows and scrubbed the floor. Everything was usually spotless then. A'Guess what we did that year! We took exercise to music. Clt sounds like one of the modern ways to reduce.D However, we enjoyed it and even had our parents to come to school to watch us. VVe also sang Jolly Molly Pitcher , a song which we had been practicing a long time. Do you recall all the fun we had in the seventh grade? We all joined together then at Temple Avenue School. We certainly did think we were big, getting to go to three different classrooms and three different teachers. It was almost-like we imagined high school would be. Yes, we did enjoy that year. We had Victory Corps and even got to march with the high school boys and girls. ' And we were the first seventh grade that decided not to have graduation exer- cises. I-Iowever, there were some parties and presents. How could anyone forget his freshman year in high school? I know I shall
