Now we can express sympathy for her in having for her very first pupils, a group such as we must have been (and still are). We can also thank her profoundly for giving us our first push toward higher education. A year passed and this group entered the first grade, there being joined by those individuals of such remarkable intellect that they found it unnecessary to attend kindergarten. First, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades passed quickly with few remarkable events beyond fights at recess, bird hikes, juvenile love affairs, dire calamities and unsurpassable joys. Ah. youth - - ! When 1945 appeared on the agenda, our class had its first taste of passing to classes. My. how that made the time fly at first — remember? Then eighth grade, and the passing was old stuff. What a difference being Senior High School students made! Why, we grew up overnight when we became the first class ever to be initiated by the Seniors. With Miss Denson as advisor and one of our newly arrived Burdetters, June Burnett, as president, the Class of '50 accomplished things! Our treasury grew rapidly that year, but, regrettable to say, decreased just as rapidly the next year. We couldn't help it if we aimed our sights too high and hired a $155 orchestra for our Sophomore Hop. Mr. Rowles and George Miller ably assisted us that year and it wasn't a total failure! After all, we were earning more all the time, weren’t we? (or weren't we!) 13
