Evidently we developed and progressed from infancy to childhood; passed through kindergarten, primary school and grammar school in the usual order, and received tin usual number of credits and demerits for attendance, lessons and deportment. However, our yesterdays that are worth recording began with our promotion to the so-called Freshmen class (which term, hv the way, is a misnomer, although it comes to us endorsed by usage from a dignified past, and there are certain authorities allow its use) for all Freshmen invariably feel jaded after they have all struggled through the intricacies of the eighth grade, and all feel that it is a crowning humiliation to be called “Freshmen.” We were spared the pain by a merciful Providence of entering the presence of cold superior knowledge as embodied in tin Junior and Senior ‘•lasses of any institution, as at that time there was no High School building in Winslow and all knowledge was imparted within the walls ot the grammar school. There was little to distinguish classes within the study rooms or upon the playgrounds and we rubbed elbows with all. I bus you can see that ours was not the common lot of High School beginners. There were 28 of us at the beginning of the term, but for various causes only ten went as Sophomores to the Modern High School that stands in the northeastern part of Winslow; enough of us, however, to form a strong congenial class, and our todays are full of interest as we ponder “the whence, the why and the whither” of daily life. Our class dances and parties are “classy” if not classical. We take an active part in all athletics and amateur plays for school lf
