CLASS HISTORY As we turn the page to a new life And close the book of fifty-two; We want to leave a history of Our twelve eventful years with you. Just a few years ago It seems only a day; It was in the year of Nineteen-Forty, The month was the last of May. We had entered the halls of learning. And had come forth with knowledge rare, We knew immensely of riting, But for ’reading and ’rithmetic, we didn’t care. Only fifteen of the Seniors now Began the venture of grade school together. But along the paths of Stuart Grade School They were added with gusty measure. The Three Little Kittens put on their mittens When the Beauty Pageant they were guests, Amidst the applause, they wiped their paws, And each one thought he had done the best. In the third grade two pupils retired To give way to one addition, The fourth and fifth likewise gave two, In keeping with the tradition. And even so, these blessed ones Plagued the grade school faculty, With many new games, and the term, Little Angel,” Applied with forthright accuracy. Under Mrs. Taylor, we began to read Of Pinocchio’s travels through the world. In the sixth grade Linward joined us, And thirteen different teachers taught us boys and girls. After seven years we gained the Wood boys, And grasped firmly the ladder to success. What was waiting at the end, We never could have guessed. Thirty-odd busy students, in the seventh were we; Some joined the school band for bugle and drum. With Mrs. Newman’s help we gave a play at Christmas. That year we learned civics and how to chew gum. A president we had in the eighth; Peggy ruled with an able hand. In ’47 we gained Lennis, Dovie, Elda, and Nancy; From Central Academy, they joined our band. And then we were first divided Between sections 8A and B. We soon learned the true meaning Of X equals Y minus Z. We all tried hard, and were rewarded By passing grades the teachers gave. Through initiations we stood up grandly, And tried hard our dignity to save.
