 The Door To Success Is Labeled Push” The year 1943—War raged over the world. Home scene? Patter of little feet thundered through the halls. We began our fight for edu- cation. Jim, Bill, and Don were accused of turning Mrs. Fosters organ into a race car. Defendants were found guilty of battle scarring the organ for life. Sentence? No recesses for three days. 1944 D-Day Don Handley once again ap- peared before authorities (teacher). Found guilty of grabbing four carrot strips. Sentence? Had to sit with a girl. (That was punish- ment??) Later in the year Mel Kelly ap- peared as a new member of our class. 1945— Truman succeeded to presidency. Atom bombs are dropped. Home scene? Janice French takes her place in our class. Once again we turn to Don. As you can see he was a very notorious character. Romance bloomed. Don and C. C. Frisz were a regular twosome. She gave him a toy drum for Christmas. The inquisitive Don had to take it apart, of course, and see how it was put together. Hence? No drum! 1946— Philippines were made independent. Price controls ended. Pupils Margaret Walters and Benny Joe our southern friend, moved away. But soon others moved in to take their places in our school life. After four years in school the teachers almost became shock-proof. Beauti- ful friendships ripened into fistfights. 1947— Marshall Plan was announced. Taft- Hartley Act was passed. Mel Kelly acquired a couple new front teeth. (Former ones were lost in an accident several years before). The almight)' fifth graders challenged the sixth graders to a game of basketball. And we won too! 1948— Away from school—world crises were shaping up. Communists seized Czechoslovakia. Our stormy attack on history marched on. We formed a physical education class in the sixth grade and each Friday afternoon we excitedly shoved our books into our desks and hurried to the ball diamond where we engaged in a battle of baseball. (Usually girls vs. boys). At least we had two competent girl players— Shirley Wasson and Linda French. Shirley and Harriett appeared in our history for the first time this year. We lost a good pal, Cecile Frisz. 1949— Communists triumphed in China. Load- ed with ammunition (squirt guns, sling shots and paper air planes) we entered the seventh grade with our firing arm. This was, of course, our first year upstairs. Margie moved this year and took her place in our class history. Mr. Hazlett was our sponsor. Remember our first class part)', kids? We had a weiner roast at Mitchells. That was the night we poor girls were auctioned off for the dance which was held in the barn. 1950— U. N. Intervention in Korea. We moved on to the eighth grade and set our dy- namic example for the seventh graders. (What an example!) Let’s see. That was the year Jim Mitchell and Joan Hodgkin got thrown out of general science. Of course Jim never kicked anybody again. We had another class party. We had a havride and weiner roast at the Shades. If I remember rightly, Don and Law- son made the cider and a little bird told me Page 12
