Senior Class History As we stand on the deck of the good ship “Rowe we turn to take the last look toward the bay, for soon we shall be upon the open water. Standing here looking back we think of the many things that have happened during our twelve short years preparing for the dangerous, yet exciting, sea of life. On the first day of school in 1934 our mothers were making sure our faces were shining with cleanliness. So armed with pencil box, tablet, and an encouraging smile from mother we started off bravely for the Great Ad venture. Only seven from our crew have gone all twelve years at Rowe: Millie Kultti, Jeanne Wheeler, Allan Punkar, Jerry Puffer, Robert Moisio, Clifford Osborne, and Richard Wheeler. Bessie Ring, Harriet Montgomery, Ruth Ashby, Pauline Kostura, Catherine Kako, Laura Yusko, Evelyn Huckleberry, Dick Armstrong, and Jack Tuttle went all the way through Farnham together being the last class to graduate from the eighth grade there. At Amboy Margaret Dewey, Lois Jeanne Gillespie, Marcella Best, Stanley Graham, Thelma Stephenson, Elizabeth Waddle, Bob Schlaich have come all the way together. Bob Churchill and Roy Huston started their school life at State Line and Clarence Kennedy at Monroe in a one-room school house. We struggled through our ABC’s, and multiplication tables, tripping more often than not on the 9’s. Long division was our Achilles Heel. At Rowe in the fourth grade Clarence Kennedy, Millie Kultti, and a few other naughty children had an eraser and ink battle, but the worst part of this escapade was when Miss Scribner walked in and found them. Out at Amboy Paul Evans had the habit of shooting paper missiles throughout the room with his suspenders, so his teacher sent his mother a note advising her that he should wear a belt hereafter. Some ingenuity, Paul. Harriet Montgomery, it seems, fell into a pond behind the Farnham schoolhouse. Are you sure someone didn’t push you, Harriet? Richie Wheeler and Clair Bunnell got into a tickling match in the third grade much to their sorrow for, their teacher decided to do a little tickling of her own with a ruler. That hurt didn’t it Rich? At long last we congregated for the first time to take the Eighth Grade State Test. And each of us wondered whether we were ever to know each other well enough to feel at ease using first names. Finally all together, greener than spinach, we met as freshmen with Mr. Hirshey as our pilot. A week or so later we were in the true sense members of the crew of the good ship “Rowe” for we had been initiated by the Most High and Powerful Seniors. Allan Punkar was elected helmsman with Bessie Ring and Mildred Kultti as his assistants. In order to make money we decided to collect sales tax stamps; the counting really kept Mildred busy and she also collected our ten cents monthly fare. Still trying to recover from our initial shock we sponsored a roller-rink party, at which everyone had fun. Later in the year we joined the sophomores for a party. We entered our sophomore year a little better sailors from the experience of our previous year on board. To steer us through this year successfully we elected Ray McVoy, president; Allan Punkar, vice president; Mildred Kultti, secretary; and Margaret Dewey, treasurer. Mr. Hopper and Mr. Deevers helped us plan our Christmas assembly and on March 17 after much preparation we had a St. Patrick’s Day party. It drew a huge crowd and everyone had a grand time. Thus the year ended without further happenings except the excitement of promotion day and the joyful anticipation of our junior year. Starting our junior year we climbed Yet died scarce knowing how the day had gone. ★★★★★★★ Page 17
