THE STUDIOUS AND SOPHISTICATED I remember when . . . Dick Smith came to kindergarten with a bowl haircut and we took naps on little rugs .... In first grade Mr. Allen offered tap and ballet lessons and we had many budding Pavlovas in our midst .... Finger painting and those orderly trips to the restroom occupied most of our time .... Second grade introduced us to Miss Irwin's pointer cmd Mr. Ellerbrook's imaginary paddling ma- chine .... The following year the girls were terrorized by the boys' kissing sprees behind the teacher's back, and on his second day in W. L. Ross Frazier was warned by a policeman for running a stop sign on his bicycle. Miss Kent's bubble gum contests were the talk of the fourth grade .... Moving upstairs was quite a thrill and monitors really added prestige. . . . Miss Daniel's wedding was undoubtedly the biggest social event of the fifth grade .... Parties in Mrs. Morris' apart- ment were a thrill for some of us .... Our Girl Senior officers: D. Harlan. president: A. Liston. vice- president: B. Dodds, secretary: M. Freeman. treasurer: Mrs. Gladys Isaac, sponsor. Pugf? 18 Scout troop was the largest in Morton's history and we easily wore out five leaders .... Jimmy Gibson became rather tearful over the mis- understood departure of the sixth grade teacher. Mrs. Bozell, and at Mr. Davis' class picnic, Walter Stuart had to be fished out of the pond .... In Iunior High, we were initiated into Mr. Curtis' top row and Club 7 .... Mr. Stamm's moron jokes and picture murder stories were characteristics of English class .... Baseball games at Lister's followed by free-for-all wres- tling matches were our favorite pastime .... Mrs. Gowdy's Freedom Pageant involved all in patriotic activities and our eighth grade basketball team won the city championship. . . . At our final picnic, not only did it rain, but it poured, hailed and blew the worst hurricane seen here for years. The long walk up the hill was our first taste of high school life, followed by bug col- lections, basement lockers, outdoor biology gardens, and club initiations .... Bev's slumber CU party after the Ieff game will long be remembered by all the freshman girls Cespe- cially at 4 A.M. when senior boys came in through the windowD .... As sophomores we danced in the back yard at Ruthie's Planet Party and woke all the neighbors .... Carolyn's open house was extended when her brother, plus friends, trooped in at five A.M .... our junior year found us busy as officers and sub- editors of many school organizations appren- ticing ourselves for higher positions .... The hanger drive on an extremely wet day was an example of un-organization plus! . . . this year we'll remember the impromptu Senior Convo, the inspiring Honor Society Convo and the Salty Dogs at the Golddiggers' Ball .... The fun, the disappointments, the honors- these memories we will have with us for years to come.
