Senior Class History The final curtain is slowly descending on the drama presented by the class of 1950 of Rowe High School. This drama covers a period of twelve school years and the opening scenes are Rowe, Amboy, and Farnham schools. The cast includes Jim Bunnell, Barbara Bedette, Bill Turner, Hugh Hubbard, Ellen Eccleston, Leota Kennedy, Dolores Woodworth, Jean Downing and Birdena Gilbraith at Howe: Joy Wheeler and Ed Fiala at Farnham; and Charleen Quinn, Carol Best. Jean and Joan Miller, Barbara Williams, Hallie Truax, Bob Kahler, Fred Frank. Betty Lou Perry, Chuck Waddle and Connie Lovell at Amboy; and many others who have long since moved away. We began our first year with much zeal and interest; in fact, Bob Kahler and Fred Frank were a little over-zealous in their fight on the first day of school. Our two Romeos, Jim and Chuck, also went into action. Remember the time Jim kissed Barbara Bedette and then ran all the way home? Bashful, Jim? The biggest event at Amboy was the huge, colossal, stupendous circus. Barbara Williams was an inch-worm; Bob Kahler, a man without legs; Carol Best, a monkey; Charleen Quinn, a tight-ropc walker; Betty Lou Perry, a rabbit; Connie Lovell, a mother duck and Hal-lic Truax, a cat. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wellman struggled to develop our musical talents in the rhythm band. Remember the struggle we had in the third grade with our multiplication tables? And the weeks and weeks we spent learning to tell time? And the picnic at Miss Stevens’ cottage at the lake? Tom Beers became the hero of the day by finding the treasure at the end of the treasure hunt. Kids from Amboy will recall the time Jean Miller, while practicing her part as a chicken in a play, fell off the stage and collected a goose-egg on her head. We thought we would never survive the fifth grade after our teacher, Miss Simons, left us to work for the government. We even survived the choral reading imposed on us by Miss Stevens, our new teacher from Kentucky. Remember the story about the doll family she read to us? The highlight of our seventh grade was the snowstorm that allowed us to stay out of school for nearly two months. During the time we spent in school, besides our studies, we joined with the eighth grade to hold several dances in the gym, wrote essays on the perils of alcohol, and sold war stamps. Members of our class and the eighth grade took turns selling the stamps at noon. Of course, after we had counted the money we hurried right back to our classes. As eighth graders we became slightly acquainted with our future classmates as we gathered together to take the Eighth Grade Scholarship Tests and at the Rowc- Amboy basketball games. Remember the snowball fights we used to have----the girls against the boys? The boys usually won! And remember the day Honey and Birdena were sent out of the room to “finish their conversation.”? An annual winter scene at Amboy was the fort constructed by the girls. Any girl who didn’t have a boyfriend was not allowed inside it. As spring came along, winter sports gave ’way to baseball. At Amboy the ball seemed to go over the fence mere often than necessary and, of course, the boys would come back with their pockets bulging with more than baseballs. (There was an orchard next door.) At Rowe the baseball games always ended in arguments. “You were out.” “No, I wasn’t.” “Oh, yes, you were.” “No, you dropped the ball.” Remember how different Ellen and Barbara looked after they had their long braids cut? Remember the cheering-sections we used to have at the home games? Practically the whole eighth grade was represented. With all these happy memories, the curtain came down on the first act, the story of our grade school days.
