As we were five years ago. In the front row you will find Meri, Jackie and Beth, in .second row, Kay, Archer, Carolyn and t Shirley, Joan and Joyce, last row, Julie, Tinka, Barbara, Janet and Dorothy. Patsy Moncure and Doris Richards were in the class but not in the picture. Polly, third row, Jean, lVlary Ann, Hz'sr01j1 gf tfze Cfasx gf 1Vz'neteefz Fgfy S we look back through the years we see clearly that the Corps of Nineteen-Fifty has always been an impressive group-or shall we say an aggres- sive one? In spite of the conscientious efforts of the Generals to regiment us, we have always had original and determined ideas of our own. In Kindergarten we were eight strong-and we mean strong. Why not? We had with us Mary Ann, Julie, Beth, Kay, Doris, Archer, Meri and Joyce, a troop of eight marching our way triumphantly and militantly through life and between tables, to the strains of Em's inspiring music. We may have been trailing clouds of glory , at that stage, but we managed to trail a lot of other things too. Being an unusual class we did unusual things, even then. As an illustration we might cite the occasion when we borrowed clay from the art room for our own purposes, and then, acting on impulse as was characteristic, went on to the complete demolishment of the Seniors' precious models. This feat of vandalism had no malice aforethought, be it understood. We were merely actuated by youthful exuberance and sheer love of seeing-and hearing-things smash. Needless to say our performance was not looked upon favorably by the grown-ups. Joyce and Mary Ann, who were discovered to be the culprits, were immediately sent to the guardhouse Qalizzs, the cornerj to repent. We were clever actresses even then, learned to emote effec- tively when expedient. Meri carried off chief honors in this respect because her tear ducts could always be counted on to flow freely. She used to be rewarded, we recall, by a coke, each day she 11idn'Z cry in school. What devils we were! No wonder it took the combined forces of Mrs. Grant and our beloved Em to hold us down. VVhen we were promoted to the First Grade our ears became tuned to the constant ringing of Miss Brown's bell, Susie, We must have been a trial but we admit Miss Brown did probably knock a good many bats out of our juvenile belfries, made us almost civilized at times. We were lucky enough to have several reinforcements to our ranks. Jackie, Joanie, Shirley, and Tinka were rapidly assimilated into the initial Corps. VVe recall that Joanie, our Florida belle, was so excited over her first glimpse of snow that winter that she fell and broke a milk bottle. We were not concerned over the broken glass. Breaking things was everyday experience to us, but we did regret the loss of l26l the milk. That was the year when the Giant Stride made its appearance on the playground and was exceedingly popular. Not less so when Joyce created a crisis when in one ol' her athletic moods she was downed by one of the chains. No serious damage but a lot of drama, which we loved. Even this early the local press recognized our importance. We made the society page, with a picture showing us in pecu- liarly hideous Hallowe'en masks. In the spring we hit upon the ingenious idea of decorating our sand box with llowers, which involved a tragic clepredation on poor Miss Stauffer's gardens, but satisfied our budding esthetic senses. We naturally believed ourselves exceedingly sophisticated by June. But actually we were innocent enough to long for the time when we should carry books like our superiors and pursue that fascinating avocation called Home Work!!! How times change! The only new recruit next year was Polly and since we already knew her she was instantly one of the gang. We recall that year chiefly because a deep snow covered the beautiful Virginia Riviera. We were delighted to test our powers of endurance in arctic conditions, gaily donning our snowsuits and galoshes and boots and uti- lized that well known ingenuity of ours in constructing an igloo. lfVe were acquainted with Eskimo lore by then. Frank Lloyd Wright had nothing on us. We would prob- ably have willingly tested blubber as food had any been available at the moment in our zeal for realism plus ro- mance. We were deeply stirred by tales of children in Europe who were cold from necessity not choice, and the Red Cross, via the League, enlisted our services in knitting, thrusting long needles into our diminutive hands. Under Julie's enthusiastic captaincy we industriously labored on tiny squares which collectively were supposed to constitute an afghan eventually. We took our charity, as well as our sports, very seriously. Incidentally we struggled with our permanent enemies, the three PCS and were looking forward to the promotion to the Third Bungalow in September. As we were settled and feeling very important in our new desks as Third Graders we were glad to welcome Camilla to our numbers. Since our battle with the afore- said three Pi's had not been too spectacularly successful and our memories were as inclined to melt as our igloo we were put under the expert guiding hand of that miraculous edu- cator, Mrs. Durrett. Class work had been nothing like this
