GALLOPING GI-IOST Class History By PHYLLIS COWDREY, MURLAN CooPER, NANCY HOLMAN Ah! September, 1943, the day that thirty-nine hopefuls entered the first grade to be embarked on our school journey by Mrs. Norton. Out of these, only twelve remain to see the day of graduation. In the second grade we set up a post ofiice as it was better than note- writing. Margy learned how to be quiet in reading class with a little help from the rear. Luther Tabor joined us during this year. In Grade III we greatly improved our health by the use of Mrs. Stokes' health pictures. We gained Nellie Washburn and Jean Scott. Many a boy or girl sat in the corner because of contests which the boys were always originating. A year later we entered the fourth grade with Miss Walbridge as our teacher. We played games which helped us with our map work and geo- graphy. We started saving Maltex box tops so Miss Walbridge could get some bird pictures. Our teacher in the fifth grade was Mrs. Menard. This was the year for contests. First, in our history class we made miniature floats that were exhibited at Belmain's store. Then we took part in the state art con- test. Last, but not least, the contest of breath-holding became exciting when Carlton Menard fainted. We gave our first big party in honor of our teacher. The entertainment was amusing and really became hilarious when Dorrene had to spank Carlton. In the sixth grade we started our money-making career by selling candy. We gave Jean Scott a Bon Voyage party when she left for Japan. This party was a great success except for a few minor details such as Douglas Morrow sticking a pen in her arm. We learned how to write good letters in the seventh grade and made quite a Treasure Chest of famous peoples' signatures and philosophies. We gave plays in joint assemblies with the eighth grade. We had a few unusual visitors in English class when the snakes from our bavarium de- cided to explore a little. We went to Legislature in the spring and Phyllis Cowdrey took advantage of the season. In the eighth grade we continued our dramatic attempts with our Christmas play, A Christmas Carol. Luther Tabor and Douglas Morrow proved their ability as actors in their interpretations of Scrooge and Mar- ley. Everyone struggled through civics class and we finally graduated and started our trek through four years of Senior High School. At the beginning of the Freshman year our class had grown to fifty- seven. We had fun at our Frosh reception and no one will forget how Dot Palmer proposed to Mr. McQueen for how he accepted herb. Our Carnival play was Sparks From an Old Flame, and went OE well. As the Sophomore year went by and we got to know each other better, we began to think about our trip to New York. We started having monthly money-raising committees which proved fairly successful. We presented Heat Lightning for the Carnival and won second prize. In spite of a little misunderstanding, we had a ine time on our picnic at Cooper's Camp.
