+Q+4 A 5 6 V O 0 0 u O O I O: 4 CLASS 1950. This was the year of bus buttons, flash cards, three recesses, and the apex of scholastic achievement, the gold star. lt was the year that Buster Rainer was the unchallenged king of the playground. Air raid drills and health inspections were common place. The sandbox was the meeting place of the class's first clique, and the jungle gym marked the height of athletic achievement. It was our initiation into the wonders of education. 1951 saw the arrival of spelling and jolly Numbers. This was the year we chewed our block letter, Cate our words, lit- erallyj, concealed loose teeth, kept our birthdays a secret, marched to the music of blocks and triangles, and ate paste, Cpaste makes wastelj. 1951 was a year of transition from teaching games to serious learning. 1952 was the year that brought our first science course, more flash cards, and our theatrical debut Qwith a Dutch musi- cali. lt was the year we learned to borrow ten and carry the one. lt was the year of our first homework assignments, square dancing, cootie-catchers, notes, and our first art folders. 1953 was our first introduction to culture. We listened to the Nutcracker Suite and symphonies by Bach. It was our first venture into geography and the cultures of other lands. We made sandbox landscapes, clay figures, and geography murals 1954 was the year of the great migration to the high school. It was Mrs. Iohnson's third year with some of us. It was the year of our first gym classes and our first written book report No one will ever forget the penmanship papers, the guppy aquarium, or our first class meetings. 1955 was the year of current event reports and oral topics. lt was the year of spell downs, Valentine parties, coed rugby, and the trip to the U.S. Constitution and Block Island. It was a year of rearranging desks, 7th period on the baseball diamond, and sprinting, which was to produce an Olympic runner. Fi- nally, 1955 saw the trip to the Plymouth Cordage fwe knew the ropes after that episodep. 1956 was the year of our first Halloween social and our first Field Day. It was the first year that the teachers changed with the classes. The boys will nevcr forget the mechanical drawing classes and the napkin holders they made in Shop, and the girls will never forget the skirts and muffins they made in Home Economics. X f . 2. -
