é GSS WSIORY b= Dear beulah, You know, I'm certainly glad we decided to have a class reunion this spring. I can hardly wait for us to discuss once more those eraser battling, bag-popping days. Don't you remember that first day when we dashed headlong up the stairs and fought for the seats in the back of the Freshman rocm? It tock the combined effort of Miss Turner and Mr. Gardner to calm’ us and finally we got down to the business of doing as much mis chief as possible. Whiz! Zoom! Crash! Bang! When I close my eyes I can still see alze- bra books flying over-nead. And the day Jim tied a piece of paper to a string and dropped it out of the window! I bet Mrs. Garbee was surprised when it hit her on the nose. Garee Garia!! My fingers still ache from copying the Constitution, We really flew through that year, skipped gaily over the summer and then came our sec- ond year with its romances and fights. Buttons and Barbara and lMiiss Overstreet and all of boys composed the list of love-lorn, Over the summer our class shrunk in number, but we added Mary Lee Elsie Taylor and Marie Bingham to our honorable ranks and they were really additions! The whole year was a whirl wind of activity. How ever we did mamage to cram q little knowledge in before Fi- nal Exams. I sat on so many tacks that I couldn't sit still long enough to really learn much, Who cares anyhow? The following summer we all dreamed of the Junior year that was to come. Words fail me in describing it. I rear we had so much fun at Edith's barndances! And I frink that Junior -Senior Banquet was the best ever, But as to the dance that followed it : Oh well, it was wonderful. The Glee Club and My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time were in full swing, espe- cially the latter. My ears still ring with the words of There's a New Moon Over My Shoul- der ! This was an important year and it wasn't long before it past and we became big Dogs. Golly-gee, Beulah, I wish I could live every minute over again! Alice Baker joined our class making a grand, total of seventeen and we had so much fun together, especially giving the Senior Play. A Ready Made Family was its title and, oh those nizht practices : We were still the mischievous type and always will be I imagine. Don't you remember the day we had our pictures taken for the annual? I can still smell those steaks and french fries and wasn't it funny when we all met at the bowling alley? But the fondest of all my fond memories was graduation night with its white dresses and diplomas. Our tears really flowed like wine as we walked down the aisle. Well, Beulah, this letter only covers small parts of the good times we've had but as it makes me sad to think of them I'd better close. See ya' at the class reunion, I Tt
