J oyce Goodenow As Freshmen, having managed to survive that first week, we began our travels through Rowe High. During the year we helped spon- sor the Freshman-Sophomore Dance. Since the privilege of decorating the gym was reserved for those lucky sophomores, we furnished the refreshments, and the dance was a success. In the spring we held two picnics, one at Farn- ham, the other, at Conneaut Township Park. The next year a Student Council Dance took the place of the Freshman-Sophomore Dance and our Sophomore Class participated in the entertainment. As Juniors our first undertaking was the play. We presented Room for One More, a comedy concerning a family that adopted or- phans. The class used part of the profit from the play for a Junior-Senior Prom the gala event of the year. Richard Humalainen, Amos Blakeslee, Rich- ard Blood, and Tommy Dean represented our class in sportsg Nancy Gaus, Carol Cook, and Ruby Gee, as cheerleaders. We are eagerly looking forward to our Sen- ior year and its exciting activities.

The Rose family, which was large, always seemed to have room for one more orphan from the home. Janey, one of the latest arrivals, was a pretty, rather self-conscious and shy girl. At first, upon her arrival at the Pumpkin Shell, which was the Rose's cottage, Janey greatly feared the ocean, but she soon over- came this obstacle when she saved a woman from drowning. The next person who found his way into the hearts of the Rose family was a stubborn R PLAY cripple, named Jimmy John. During his stay with the family, he learned not only to drive the car, swim, cook, and dance, but also to be kind to others, Tragedy struck the Rose family when Poppy died, leaving the financial burden on Mother. Jimmy John's operations were expensive and Joey wanted to study to be a doctor, so as a last resort, Mother decided to sell the Pump- kin Shell. When Jimmy John heard Mother's intention, he ran away on the night of the Harvest Dance. But, when Teensie found Jim- my John and brought him back, Mother an- nounced that she had received a phone call from New York. A studio wanted to make Jimmy John's story into a movie. This meant that Jimmy John could have all the operations he needed, Joey could finish medical school and above all, the Rose family could keep the Pumpkin Shell. The prompters were Judy Hammond and Nancy Gaus.
