SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As the final days of our twelve year voyage on the good ship School Days!! arrive, we the crew, will always remember the voyage filled with pleasant memories. I know many of us are sad at the thought of leaving Rowe School, where many happy wonderful days were spent preparing to enter adult fields of our own choosing. Our voyage started in September, 1940, when Miss Hahn welcomed aboard twelve, terrified. yet eager, little boys and girls each proudly carrying a pencil box and tablet. Those who joined at Rowe were Bud Bromfield, Jerry Gee, Joyce Barnard, Janet Brown, Glen Taylor. Arlene Simpson, Ellen Orrenmaa, and Eileen Kantola. At Amboy Pat Miller, Stuart Blood, Chuck Olmsted, Jerry Specht, Pat Quinn, Al- len Waddle, Calvin Appleby, Maurice Wright. Perry Longaker, Howard Williams and Bob Waddle began their trip. Since then many others have joined to make a complete crew. From the many amusing and tragic incidents that occurred during those twelve memorable years, permit me to mention a few. - Remember how difficult and complicated our ABC's were to write? How proud we were when we could go up to the teacher and say. Look, I can make a 'Z'. . . , Paul Bunnell was a great romeo even in those days. Re- member how he used to sneak up behind a girl and steal a kiss? He must have been get- ting experience! . . . Bud Bromfield was just out of luck when he got a crush on Janet Downing. I guess she had her eye open for Chuck even at that early age! , . . Never shall I forget the day when we trembliingly lined up for vaccinations, How discouraged the doctor must have felt when he saw the howling group! For awhile in the third grade the multiplication table really had us stumped, but Miss Gates rejoiced when finally the fact sunk in that 7 times 8 equals 56. Buying war stamps at noon is another proud memory we will always have. Deter- mination to do our 'patriotic duty was the rea- son most of us willingly contributed our pen- nies toward buying war stamps. Many of us can recall the pride and enjoyment in belong- ing to the Junior Choir. Mrs. Wellman, our able and patient director, worked diligenftly on our voices and some of our fondest memories center around The Legend of Sleepy Ho1low'!. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and many enjoyable Christmas programs, Also during our first years in school most of us were fortunate to be part of the Rhythym Band. Hearing the applause and praise after a per- formance was indeed a great thrill. But I know now what the audience thought of those little band members banging instruments together more or less in rhythm. Pat Miller -and Pat Quinn just couldn't agree on anything at Am- boy and one day they started hitting each other with rulers. What was your fight about, girls? It's astonishing to think that studious Stuart Blood would ever put a frog in a teacher's desk. How high did Miss Moseley jump, Stuart? Even now, Amboy students remember when Perry Longaker got bored with school and started playing solitaire in class! Those hay- rides we had in the seventh grade were loads of fun, but the after effects of a cold were not so pleasant. Remember those dances held in the music room? Even though we walked free- ly on our partners' feet, everyone insisted the dance was a success. A large percentage of the class got enjoyment out of participating and watching those seventh and eighth grade basketball games. It was at one of these games that Allen upheld the Waddle tradition by making some extra points for the opposing team! Entering the eighth grade, many of us were a little scared at the thought of having a male teacher. But Mr. Wood won our respect through his patient guidance and he prepared us for the big, important step ahead. Hardly anyone realized how fast our years in the ele- mentary grades had gone until it came time to take the three-hour-long Eighth Grade Scholar- ship Test. In order to make a good showing on the examination, we strove to remember all those facts and dates that had been drilled into our head during the previous years. This day also had another important feature, for we made many new friends who would soon be- come our classmates all through high school. How beautiful to behold were those diplomas which allowed us to enter high school. Eager- ness to become high school students was the reason there was no sadness in leaving the elementary grades. In September, 1949, Mr. Nesha, the fresh- man advisor, welcomed forty-eight eager, though frightened students. Of course, we weren't really full-fledged Vikings until Sep- tember 24, which was THE day, set by the Seniors for initiation. Most of us enjoyed that fateful night even though we were terribly frightened. With initiation 'behind us, we settled down to consider election of class offi- cers. Those elected were President, Dick Sebe- tichg Vice-president, Paul Bunnellg Secretary, Beth Eighmy, and Treasurer, Pat Quinn. Dur- ing our first year in high school, our extra curricular projects were a bake-sale, the an- nual Freshman-Sophomore dance, and a class picnic. The boys who represented our class in basketball were Dick Sebetich, Chuck Smith, Paul Bunnell, Bud Bromfield, Jack Furry, Jerry Gee, and Bob Waddle. Beth Eighmy was elected to the Varsity Cheerleading squad. Many of us lent our talents to the music de- paritment, and joined the Home Economics, Dramatics, Library, and Latin Clubs. We were greeted by Pop Saari when we entered the sophomore class. If anyone had entered the Sophomore home room that year at noon, he would have seen many industrious students trying to learn geometry theorems or trading Latin translations. This year we joined the freshmen to sponsor a high school dance.
