Class History A gentleman in a suit of spun milk, dug with a plastic pick-axe. in tlie ruins of a red brick building located in what had been the little town of Shaft fi. He found an ancient yellowed document which read as follows: THE HISTORE' OF THE CLASS or 1943 September 1931, a group of little boys in blue sailor suits, and little girls in stifily-starched dresses were eying each other shyly from new desks in the School Street School. We had just entered the Hrst grade, and launched upon a scholastic career guaranteed to make any previous classes sit up and take notice. The first year was a happy jumble of c-a-t cat, sandbox-1-i-1:2- Stringing beads. Then a new school, new teachers - 6 x 6 - johnny loves Mary -cookies and milk-recess. In good weather, outside, and on rainy days, with the windows open, we paraded solemnly around the room or did setting- up exercises - 1-2-3-4. . Then we reached the Pleasant Street School. That is where the boys play on one side, and the girls on the other, but every recess, George Bailey and a couple of cohorts would dash over to the girls' side to chase Franny Hall. Times havenit changed any. have they? Our first dramatic stroke was in A Midsummer Niglifs Dream -the roles of roses and daisies-what budding young actors we must have been. XVe had often sent longing glances in the direction of the building across the way. Then it happened!-VVe were in the sixth grade. Our teachers were no doubt surprised to note how superior we were in every way to the completely ordinary classes which had preceded us. How well we took the idea of traveling in Europe-what imagination, what ingenuity. proper keys to the secret of our later success. The seventh and eighth grades-quick happy years in which for the first time we changed classes and teachers at the ringing of a bell. lThinking back, bow did we ever stand one teacher all day? Proof. no doubt. of the stamina of youthj Freshmen at lastl Our home room teachers were Doon Hearn. and that blond gentleman with the veiy English accent. Mr. Brosnan. Day by dav, we watched with interest as the wonderful Sharon air brought to his face. the ruddy glow of health and to the buttons on his coat an ever-increasing strain. Our sophomore year was one of vital social importance. XVith obvious competence and responsibility, we managed to obtain permission to bold the Sophomore Hop at night. Our customary originality shone through as we decorated the walls and hand-painted murals - li'Fantasia tl la Pauline Chasej. The dance was a great success with delicious refreshments and dancing to records providing an evening well-enjoyed by the many who attended. Mr. Kean joined us that year in the place of Mr. Brosnan. The year book and senior plays produced under his direction speak for themselves as to his capability. page luenfy-four
