HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’34 Orving Olsen Drop your cares and come with me back to a bright September morn¬ ing back in the year of 1921. On this day, that marked an epoch in the lives of the class of ’34, several little tots entered the doors of Miss Winters’ first grade. Of those “midgets” there are but ten left in the present graduating class. They are Ethel Greetham, Frances Ramser, Margery Shields, Helen Sutliff, Marion Gates, Ethel Gates, Stuart Wells, Philip Bradstock, Lucile Puder, and Orving Olsen. After trying the patience of our first grade instructor, we passed on into the second year to be in charge of Mrs. Sutliff and Mrs. Burnham. In the third grade Miss Mabel Williams and Mrs. Yoxtheimer were our teachers. It was during this year that we were taught the multiplica¬ tion table and the art of walking on tiptoe. One of our j oiliest teachers was Miss Sampson, who taught us the poetic way of learning long division. Spell downs were also a grand event this year because we always knew our teacher would have a surprise for the winner. We knew our spelling, too. Philip Bradstock waned the interest of our acrobats when he fell off the trapeze bars and broke his leg. George Babbit joined our class the second semester. Fractions and the essential parts of a sentence, taught by Mrs. Kip- linger, were introduced to us in the fifth year. The grand event of the year was a coasting party at Warner’s hill. Lois Thornton enrolled as a member of our class. Our sixth grade was taught by Miss Sprague. Our acting ability was exercised in the dramatization of “Pandora’s Box.” We also learned the Mayflower compact through the earnest efforts of our teacher. Many new changes came with the seventh grade. We had a different teacher for each subject. Miss Huntridge taught us Mathematics; Mr. Zechar, English; and Miss Barbe (Mrs. Wier), History and Geography. In the eighth grade we elected our first class officers. They were as follows: Donald Marlor, president; Philip Bradstock, vice president; Henry Brandt, secretary and treasurer. The first class party was the night that we experienced our “first dates.” New things seemed to be coming to us all the time as we were allowed to choose two elective subjects in the ninth year. For officers we chose Orving Olsen, president; Margery Shields, vice president; Lois Thornton, secretary and treasurer. We had two class parties this year. One, held 16
