641,65 ,Md for? ln Tho Tall oT I935, we began our educaTion in The liTile wooden building souTh oT The swimming pool, and our lives became less careTree and more resTricTed, excepT Tor recess. TwenTy-eighT mem- bers oT our senior class enTered TirsT grade here. They were DareTh Axene, Carol Bailey, Virginia Brush, Carolyn Campbell. Jo Cox, Jim Davis, Dave Dodd, Marilyn Egel, Marilyn Folk, Tom Frye, Spike Gerwin, Tom Giles, Jane Gramlich, JoAnn Greiner, Bob l-loag, T'larrieTT l-lobarT, Jim Johnson, ST Jones, Bill and Jud Millhon, Nancy Nowe, Howard OrTh, Jim Price, PaT Redman, Bob SeTzer, Sai-2 STephan, CynThia TouVelle, and PeTe Williams. When we enTered second grade we considered ourselves pracTically grown-up and reveled in shouTing derision aT The unTorTunaTe creaTures in The class below us. We all awaiTed eagerly The ar- rival oT Red Fox. ln Third grade we really began To seTTle down, worrying abouT The inTricacies oT geography and mulTiplicaTion. AT recess we played Tag on The whiTe lines oT The Tennis courT. And remember The lndian parTy which Miss Lawyer's room gave? As TourTh grade pupils, we learned The Tine arT oT block prinTing, made Travel scrapbooks, and visiTed a maTTre-ss TacTory. We gave skiTs abouT Tamous Americans. Remember how one group chanTed FulTon's Folly in perTecT unison, while a wagon wiTh a paper side-wheel was rolled across The sTage, The means oT locomoTion crawling underneaTh? Relay races were The Tad in TiTTh grade, and we made our TirsT aTTempTs aT wriTing poeTry lmaybe we should say versesl. Our TirsT dramaTic producTion was a series of scene-s depicTing colonial liTe, as we picTured iT-and whaT a picTurel Our knees wobbled when we saw our Tond parenTs and Triends beyond The TooTlighTs. The nexT year we became The big shoTs oT The elemenTary secTion and sTarTed To Take more inTeresT in The change bells and noise oT The high school classes. Oh, how envious we were when They passed our windows on examinaTion days! LiTTle did we know! Then came The TascinaTing liTe wiTh seven diTTerenT Teachers leighT, counTing home-roomll. Those wiTh waTches were boThered consTanTly during The lasT Ten minuTes oT a period lAren'T They sTill?l. The aTTack on Pearl Harbor was a Terrible and exciTing surprise To mosT oT us, and we sTarTed To col- lecT insignia. Our creaTive genius began To make iTselT known in The Torm oT dirndle skirTs or plasTic rings. ln The eighTh grade many oT our Teachers leTT To go inTo The armed services. The girls began To wear lipsTick, and The drarnaTics club presenTed ThaT super-colossal producTion, compleTe wiTh be- wiTc'hing dancing girls, The Bad Boy of Bagdad, wiTh Avery Robbins in The TiTle role. ln SepTember, I943, we realized an ambiTion oT several years. We were in high school and now looked Torward To The day when we would be seniors. ATTer The TirsT exciTemenT oT comparing schedule cards wiTh our friends, we Threw ourselves, hearT and soul, inTo all The acTiviTies we could. and conscienTiously wenT To cheer aT all The games. Romances began To bud and There was The Thrill of TirsT Tormals. Some days The Treshman hall would be less noisy Than usual, and The person walking Through would hear muTTerings oT LaTin verbs or Types oT planT liTe. Bob Meeder. who became capTain Three years laTer, received his TooTball leTTer. This year The school wenT all ouT selling War Bonds. Our oTTicers were PaT Redman, presidenT: DareTh Axene, vice-presidenT1 Spike Gerwin, secreTary: and Polly Edwards, Treasurer. As sophomores we seTTled down, recovered Trom The newness of The preceding year, buT wiThouT The responsibiliTies of upperclassme-n. The Oasis became a going concern. ThaT year The TradiTion oT Track queens was begun, wiTh Louise Fallon as our reigning beauTy. Oh, Tor Those carefree lThough we didn'T Think so Tlienl sophomore days. Leading us Through our second year oT high school were Donn Miller, presidenT: Spike Gerwin, vice-president Jan-Anne RuTledge, secreTary: and Bob Meeder. Treasurer. Like all iuniors, we were very busy The nexT year. Our ThoughTs were oTTen cenTered on our Ti- nancial siTuaTion. We ran hiTher and ThiTher, driving Teachers To disTracTion. However, along wiTh our gay liTe There was disappoinTmenT. Who will TorgeT The broken hearTs aT ThaT Grandview game. ln chemisTry class we managed To produce ghasTly Tumes as well as or beTTer Than our predecessors. The husTle-busTle oT our Third year was expressed in The TiTle oT our class play, Whai' a Life. Then came The preparaTions Tor our Junior-Senior. Among oTher Things we had sold hoT dogs and sponsored The Columbus Boys' Choir To raise money Tor The even'T. Juniors were dragged Trom Their desks inTo The deepesT recesses 'oT The school, where crepe paper was rolled and sTapled in Trenzied hasTe. Our eTTorTs were well rewarded ThaT nighT in our blue heaven. The class oTTicers This Trying year were Donn Miller, presidenT: Spike Gerwin, vice-president Tom Frye, secreTary: and Dick CrouT, Treasurer. lmbued wiTh responsibiliTy, we began ThaT long-awaiTed year. No one ever TorgeTs his days as a senior, buT ours are especially wonderTul To remember. There was more Treedorn oT expression in classes, closer Ties beTween sTudenTs and Teachers, and Those wonderTul Teams. Homecoming, The senior class play, selling cokes aT games-all helped To make our lasT year exciTing and inTeresTing. We hope ThaT The years To come will be as Tull oT pleasure as These aT ArlingTon have been. Class oTTicers our senior year were Donn Miller, presidenT7 Dick Carr, vice-presidenT: Tom Frye, secreTaryg and PeTe Vililliams. Treasurer.
