To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! Senior Class History It seems that only yesterday we Seniors started out to school with our faces shinning from Mother’s overdose of elbow grease, our Cubby Bear Books tucked under our arms. Whether in Farnham, Amboy or East Main Road School the stories are the same. A scolding here, a spanking there, much to our discomfort and our schoolmates’ delight. Georgia and Duane can tell you they didn’t let up any with the paddle way back in the first grade. And remember how horrified outwardly and tickled inwardly we were when we thought there was going to be a real fight on the playground. We used to glance around for the teacher hoping she had her mind enveloped with some absorbing problem, oblivious of the world 'but expecting her to pop cut on the aggressors and make them pay the penalty. She usually caught them, however, and administered a just sentence. Maybe Hitler wouldn’t get into so many scraps if he had a teacher over him. The competition between our elementary schools that kept the field meets and scholastic contests exciting and worth while were completely dissolved when we, the first class of ’41, entered Rowe High’s portals 69 strong. From then on it was work —and work together. While we were still a little bewildered, the Seniors huddled us together and forced us to undergo the initiation ordeal. Tom looked just too cute for words with that baby bottle. Remember? For the most part after that we remained rather quiet waiting for the day when we would be referred to as upperclassmen. But occasionally we glided from our obscure corner. Our Sophomore skating party, Thanksgiving party and sleigh ride are examples of this. In 1939 we again came under the supervision of Miss Drown and Miss Hunnell as we started on our third year of high school. Joe Dickey was elected president; Boh Childs, vice president; Marjorie Montgomery, secretary,, and Marie Harrington, treasurer. The biggest event of the year was the Junior play, “Lookin’ Lovely,” with an able cast which included “Margie” Montgomery, Marie Harrington, Flora Langdon, Joyce Holdson, Francina Seibert, Roland Fisch, Joe Dickey, Ed. Powell, Raymond Kostura, Jack Culbertson and Bob Childs. The Junior-Senior Prom was given May 10, 1940, to a vast crowd of upperclassmen who wore the varnish off the floor. The plaque of Teddy Roosevelt gracing Room 211 was presented the school by our American History class. We are still wondering as to how Mr. Halchin could orate so long and still keep Elsie’s mind on more important dates other than the ones she was having that week. For our Junior Assembly Kay Kyser (Earl Hopkins) took us into his studio for a merry half-hour. The very dramatic Othello, Shakespeare’s masterpiece, was in pieces all right after Inez Ward. Vaughn Ilerbel, Jean Wolcott and Roland Fisch massacred it. It was a year round sight to see Sylvia Sivak and Viola Kultti keeping the paper sales stocked up. Then came our final year. With half-joy, half-regret, we started out on the last leg of our 12-year journey. We elected an able group of officers. For the third year in succession Joe Dickey was elected president. Bob Childs was given the vice president’s chair, Marie Harrington the secretary’s, and Sylvia Sivak the treasurer’s. Revenge is sweet! We finally had our chance to laugh at the queer antics of the Freshmen. On a fateful night in October we watched them squirm as they were officially initiated into Rowe High. The Senior Sociology class gave the school the opportunity to vote last November. Booths were set up in the lower corridors and the whole school turned out to show its political spirit. By a very close margin Roosevelt was handed the third term. The Chicken Supper, an annual senior affair, needless to say, was a “killing” success. Although worn and tired we smiled through. Joyce was head of the affair in our home room and the Cooperation given her was indeed congratulatory. It was a merry, but tired group that furiously wiped 15 S SfS S SAsAsA s VS S S SA S S S S S S S S SA » S SAs SA
