Class History One September mom in the year '46 Mrs. McCray welcomed a new bag of tricks, Consisting of Eleanor, Bobby, and Joyce Richard and Gloria with a high pitching voice, We learned to read and how to color And each little girl chose a fella'. We started the second grade with Mrs. Hardie And we all tried our luck at being tardy, Spelling or arithmetic was our greatest task But we all fortunately learned it at last. Yvette and Mrs. England en- joying sugar on snow. Wayne, Theresa, and Larry. On we flew to Mrs. Davis and the third Where we were noisy, later we heard, Remember how Bob Coathup tasted the soap But the chalk we ate was just like dope, When the pencils used to fall Down we would go against the wall. Upstairs to the fourth with Miss Steams Oh! how she coached us on mathematical terms, Recall how those notes used to fly From Dick to Eleanor saying, Hi! On we marched to Mrs. Mills Here we'll always remember Joyce's spills, When running to the reading table To get there first she wasn't able, Jack and Rachel joined us in this grade With Jack and his tricks the trouble was made. Then came grade six, Miss Rogers at last This year Rosalie entered the class, We were ahead of all the rest Thinking that we were really the best. When we were in the eighth grade. Jean and Dick all dressed up for Freshman Reception. Rosalie and Avis hanging stars for Prom. 28 The happy trio, Eleanor, Rosalie, and Rachel. Next year we went to OHS ground It was new and different all around, With Miss Taylor, we did very well If we could jump at the right bell, Remember those many nights after school When we wouldn't obey the teacher's rule. On to the eighth, our teacher--a man-- Mr. Fortin kept us in hand, Remember all the A's we took With the teacher's handy answer book. Our Freshman year was full of many joys Meeting all the new girls and boys, This year and next, Mr. Barton was our class sponsor He certainly had a time with each little monster, Soon the trial of our initiation came But we had our chance next year to do the same. We entered our Sophomore year With a lot of luck and a lot of cheer, We went to Ausable Chasm on our class day It was a whole lot of fun in many a way. Our Junior year, Mr. Yandow was the advisor We discovered soon we were two years wiser, This year we sponsored the Sadie Hawkin's dance Giving each girl a wonderful chance, Junior Prom was our biggest thrill Those stars and murals, I can picture still. Our Senior year was a big success And we think it was the very best, Raising money and planning trips without any fuss With Mrs. England guiding us. Remembering twelve years of working together We'll share those happy memories forever, All our joys and sorrows We shall never forget, Twenty-nine of us to remember Orleans High School where we met.
