▼ ▼ Junior Class History ▼ ▼ “Boo-Hoo, I’m scared!” chorused an unruly group of so-called ready-for-school children. We had come up against one of our most dreaded enemies, the teacher! For six carefree years we had waited patiently (making mud pies) for this chance. After all tears were dried and after each little boy with freckles had found his heart’s desire somewhere in the room of learning, we began the task of twelve years’ study before we ventured out into his modern, unrelenting world. Joe has upheld his favorite sport—girls—for years. It was a long time ago when Joe and Franeina played postoffice at school. Yes, it was back in the “good old days’’ of 1928. We wouldn’t want to slight such budding romances as Ed Powell and Pauline Ring (believe it or not!): later, of course, Inez’s name was linked with that of the young blonde of Farnham. “What happened to that heart-breaking, tearful affair between Jean Wolcott and Vaughn, Roland?” But putting all kidding aside, the first eight long years spent in school filled our brilliant minds to the brim and our hearts with different feelings than had that first day eight years ago. In the year of our I ord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Seven, on the morn of September 7, we were 62 wide-eyed, intelligent, prank-loving young people waiting to be ushered into the long, echoing corridors of Rowe High School. We entered as the largest class ever known in our school history. We’re not bragging, but we also have the talent and probably we shall have the president of the United States emerging ‘r°m the wondrous class of ’41. Even now we have material for one in Joe Dickey, who has presided over our class meetings for two years; we also boast of the best arguers and time-stallers. VN e went through the horrible ordeal of Freshman initiation with “nary“ a scratch. The seniors weren’t so tough! As sophomores, we were seated in the study hall, and Mr. Saari was Angel Gabriel in our blue heaven. Of course, he considered us “Little Red Devils on wheels.” but we forgave him. We received into our midst a new member of renown, Myrna Hensler, who has proved a friend to us school pals. All in all, our sophomore year was uneventful but very necessary in the completion of our high school course. During the summer of ’39, we looked forward to the so-much-talked about Junior grade with only one more year of school. Just think, we’re growing up! We’re upper classmen now! At last the freshies and sophs look up at us! We hope! This year of our school career we are proud to have the majority of members in the A Cappella Choir. French Club, and many others. We boast such brilliant minds as June Britton, John Liimatine, and the Physics sharks, Ed Powell and Roland bisch, singers such as Margie Montgomery, Joe Dickey and several others. We are brimming over with originality as the seniors had to admit when they viewed our “Kay Kyser program.” The Junior play was a “wow!” but that was only natural for us. Basketball was a great success this year. Why? Well, they were all Juniors with the exception of one. Adolph Kultlti, Bobbie Childs, Vaughn Herbel, Roland Fisch, Ed Powell, Joe Dickey and Vincent Smile made up a team and when we say a team we mean a TEAM. In spite of all the bragging we have done we are just big bluffers. We humble ourselves and admit we do look up to the seniors and are looking forward to when we may try to take their places. We know we will fall short of the things they have accomplished but we do hope to meet them half-way. We haven’t made exceptional history although we have learned many things of value to us in our future life. We, the Juniors of Rowe High School, take our hats off to the Seniors, to our classmates, and the teachers who have been our friends and counselors throughout the years. 22
