Senior Class History September, 1931, saw a group of shiningfaced youngsters cautiously and shyly entering a school building; they were clutching at new pencil boxes and dolls, searching for someone who would guide them into the first grade. For us this meant four schools, located at Amboy, Farnham, Monroe, and East Conneaut. .Jane, Evelyn, and Libby know the true meaning of “the little red schoolhouse”; fond memories take them back to the one-roomed Monroe school with the double seats, one teacher at the controls, and early morning walks to a neighbor’s house for the daily water supply. Perhaps these recollections can’t be matched by the rest of us but nevertheless, we, too, have memories of grade school. Kate will never forget those daily escapades with the new fourth grade teacher as she was in the process of becoming acquainted with her. Those who saw the operetta here at East Conneaut would never have recognized cute Peter Rabbit as our own Phil Puffer. Charlie still blushes as he thinks of the time in the seventh grade that he was mistaken for a coat on the coat-rack by one of the girls who needed some support while she was attempting to remove her snow-pants. Ben and his speedy green convertible were a familiar sight at Amboy. Mary was the athletic star at Farnham in those days and she is still known for her skill in basketball. Somehow we managed to live through these days until “the day” came at last when we were ushered into the portals of Rowe High. As “green frosh” we found refuge with Mr. Curie until the fatal Friday arrived when we were to be initiated. That night nothing could save us, we figured, but by some miracle Betty Wright got “Your Are My Sunshine” yodeled out, and Shirley Brauch managed to push that peanut across the floor with her nose. The rest of us suffered as much but actually we felt like full-pledged Rowe freshmen after the party. Christine presided over us the rest of the year. Her helpers were Jeanne Conway, vice president; Jane Ross, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer. As sophomores in Mr. Saari’s home room we chose a newcomer—Harriett Smith, for our president. Bill McCrone was elected vice president; Dorothy Rapose, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer. That year we received our first real taste of high school life—term papers, posters, newspapers, and bookkeeping. We held a Thanksgiving party and were joint hosts with the freshmen at an April Fool’s party. Our receipts were netted chiefly by sales tax stamps and bake sales. But it was in our junior year that we blossomed into full bloom and buckled down to show “good ole Rowe High” that we wanted recognition. Our class was divided for the first time in our school life, but in this case the house was not divided, against itself. This time our home room teachers were Miss Hunnell and Miss Drown. Our “chief” was Phil and a good one did he make; to aid him were Bryce Bryant as vice president; Christine Jones, secretary; and Ruth Walters, treasurer. Our first success of the year was our junior play, “The Black Derby,” a double-barreled mystery which revealed many surprising things to its appreciative audience. The eleven reasons for our play's success were Jeanne Conway, Phyllis Herbel, Grace Hall, Jean Louise Titus, Dave Jacobs, Kenneth Roberts, Philip Puffer, Bryce Bryant, Richard Bunnell, Miss Drown, and Miss Hunnell. Because of a shortage of war materials ours was the first class to receive school rings when we were juniors, thus breaking an old tradition. But this only added to our pride—being able to show the famed Viking head a year early. Jewelry was coming our way, not only in the way of rings but also in pins—eleven of us received a cappella pin, one a Pilot Light pin, and many received library keys. Little did we know that we were fortunate enough to have the great man Ben Franklin—alias Charlie Sippola—in our class until the radio play was presented over WICA.
