Senior Class Poem When we reflect of times not long gone by Where we did toil and jest in equal share, A sense of enduring gladness seems to vie With the memories of Rowe that are everywhere: Our stately school then springs into the fore: Its halls that sound and echo laughter gay, The classrooms and the books revealing lore, How much we’ll miss them, now we cannot say. Already we’ve begun to miss our guides And friends, our teachers, who have been so kind; But, when we think of classmates, each confides That sad thoughts of parting with joys are twined, For as we leave one way of living now And look ahead, we’ll revere our days at Rowe. m Class History Weren’t we thrilled, though? We could hardly stand still while Mother scrubbed behind our ears and gave the last minute inspection and an affectionate pat. But, before we knew it, many of us were on our way to school for the first time, escorted by mother, big brother or sister, or bravely starting out alone. A few had attended kindergarten, but actual school life in the first grade still had its appeal. No matter how, we arrived all ready to start on our new venture, embarkation upon our twelve years of study. After a couple weeks had passed, we could march home, count to ten, and say our ABC’s, for which Mother sometimes smilingly rewarded us with a cookie. It wasn’t long before we could read and spell, and how the pages of “Pig Pig and Goose Goose ’ “The Little Red Hen,” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” became frayed around the edges. To some, it seemed that teacher labeled them as mischievous and naughty, and misfortune lurked around every corner, but that was soon forgotten when the school picnic at the park and summer vacation loomed ahead. The first year passed by rapidly, and preparation began for the second. The schools at Famham, Amboy, and East Con-neaut were opened and soon there emitted sounds of cheery voices greeting one another. Occasionally, some little incident would happen to highlight the day. Frances Marn and Eunice Hicks can tell you about the time they ran away from Rowe to see the Amboy field meet. Marion Braden still remembers the time she was caught throwing paperwads at Amboy and had to make five hundred, throw them all over the auditorium, and then endure the tedious task of picking them up one by one. Remember, Bernadene, when you fought with Georgiana and Helen in the seventh grade at Farn-ham ? Realizing high school lay not far ahead, we entered the eighth grade. What a relief not to have to study geography at Amboy? Time passed quickly, and it wasn’t long before eighth grade state tests were concluded, and diplomas for successful completion of elementary school were our cherished possession. Waving a last goodbye to elementary school, we entered Rowe in September, 1940, fifty-four strong. Even before our If thou remember’st not the slightest folly 13
