These are a few of the memories that flash into our minds: First Grade-We were six years old as our tearful mothers sent us off to school. A few of us were also tearful. But we had our reward when we learned to read and write our names. Second Grade- Did you ever see a lassie go this way and that? Our first taste of flash cards and water colors. Third Grade-Exposed to higher arithmetic and geography. Fourth Grade-An abrupt change for some of us. New teachers and system. Fifth Grade--How proud we were of our patrolmen belts and badges. Sixth Grade-Our writing certificates topped off our arm movement efforts. Seventh Grade-This year We were busy with war stamps and scrap drives. Eighth Grade-Manners and conventions run amuck until the end of the year when interest zoomed in the Legion awards. Ninth Grade-Freshmen at last! Our family has increased with many new sisters and brothers from Cheswick, Orrville, Harwick, Acmetonia, Rural Ridge, Russelton, Harmarville, and the parochial schools. Tenth Grade-Upon reaching the high school, we were ushered into the gym where We were welcomed by Mr. Aber with a parental speechg Mr. Wilson and the bandg and the other teachers. We became significant by joining many clubs to carry on with school activities. Among these was the National Forensic League which was founded in Springdale by seven sophomores with Miss Purdum as sponsor. ' Kuchta and Murdock were already exhibiting their ability on the football fieldg and at basketball we cheered for Caputo, Carrol and Kuchta. as
