CLASS HISTDRSr I N SEPTEMBER twelve years ago, war clouds hung ominous and sinister over all Europe, and a topsy-turvy world was sickened with apprehension. But not even a tiny hint of the shadows threatened Miss Claire ' s sunny first grade room. Matters of much, much greater impor- tance held sway there, for there a bit of world history was also in the making. You see the Class of 1930 was taking its first tiny steps toward the dizzy heights of fame. The Marne and St. Mihiel were only battles, but the day we read perfectly with every intonation of Miss Claire ' s voice: — Not I ! said the cat. Not I ! said the rat. I will! said the little red hen. — that was achievement. And the day that Gosling (he was Robert then) came out from behind a huge Windsor tie and all by himself went up on the big chapel stage to recite Little Orphant Annie just as clearh- and just as distinctly as if two front teeth were not missing — that, that was a day ! Years sped by swiftly and happil ' . Early, Miss Winne realized that some- thing had to be done about a class of such unusual ability, and so we combined third and fourth grade and steamed into fifth ahead of schedule. Man ' pictures of those busy years come to memory. Again we see Loey ' s curl ' red head bobbing vigorously and her fists doubled as she gently argues her point. Trent starts on his career as Beau Brummel , already causing quick- ened pulse beats among the fair. David passes the chalk and is always the teacher ' s joy and delight. How times do change! And the awful day when Trent tries to sit with Bug. Of course there isn ' t room for Bug, so he falls right down on the hard floor. Anybody would cr ' ! Doris dances, Cedie manages, Dorrance draws, and Emily giggles — even as today. Ve grow apace both in knowledge and stature — Sixth graders now. We stage a museum. For several weeks harassed mamas contribute pottery, vases, what have 5 ' ou, and other objets d ' art . The final result is extremely satis- fying to us all. For one whole day our collection is visited by parents and le s 23

original classes, while we as patrons of the arts stand by, elucidating, instruct- ing, and fingering everything in sight. Another stupendous undertaking is our Bunny Rabbit sale. Happy hours and not a few bruised thumbs go into the cutting, drawing, and painting of rabbits of every shape and hue. Sometimes our imaginations run amuck, and a pink or lavender bunny causes consternation in the hutch. It is our first experience as salesmen, when our wares, or rather, hares, go on the market at the rock bottom prices of fi e and ten cents. Maybe this first lesson in high-powered salesmanship is the answer to why, aj Seniors, we were able to stage the most successful Hui-Oahuan Rummage Sale in Puna- hou ' s history. We hold our first class picnic. Probably to prepare us for the wide, wide world into which we are soon going, our Teacher initiates us into a very new and most thrilling pastime called Post Office . We give forfeits — nuff sed ! Hop grasps the rudiments of the game faster than any of us, and with what zest and enjoyment he does! But ask him for all the details. He may blush, but he ' ll give you the lowdown. He just couldn ' t forget that first fling of his! We must stage a fitting finale. Our inventive minds set themselves to the task, and lo an inspiration comes to us. We will be flowers, lovely little flowers. What could be more fitting? We evolve marvelous tissue paper costumes of shrinking violets, red, red, roses, and fair lilies. We compose verses appropriate to a modest pansy or glowing sunflower. We are dear little blossoms ready to decorate Junior academy. A bit reluctantly we pass down our baseball, our top, and our jump rope to little brother and sister. We are in Junior Academy now. Doris appears in long black cotton stockings and produces a compact. Maternal protests go down in defeat before the onslaught that follows, and three-quarter soxs go to the rummage sale. If only those mothers could have looked into the Stockingless future, how many saddened hearts would have been cheered! We go to Miss Appleby ' s dramatic classes and add super and keen to our vocabularies. On Who ' s Who Day we run the gamut from Ichabod Cranes to dainty powder puffs. We dramatize the Man Without a Country and the Lady of the Lake , — both the man and the lady covering themselves with laurels. Three of our number are the first of a long li- t to win their letters, — Bill New- port in swimming, Harry in football, and Cutter in baseball. The Endowment Fund has our financial support to aid it. We sell fudge and butterscotch in five-cent packages, each short-weighed by at least one delectable mouthful before it reaches the final consumer. And just to be different we run a punch sale, fully seasoned by various and sundry fingers. We pre-date Lei Day m Hawaii by a wonderful May Festival. Losse is our beauteous Queen. Can ' t you just see her and her May Queen curls? As vigorous and efficient Student Body president, Lucille sways a firm sceptre. Few are the daring ones to run in the halls when Lu is around. Eddie takes his first lessons in cheer-leading o a chorus of Oh, isnt he cute? 24
