This grand and glorious class
had ita beglnnlng as all other
classes -- by birth. Ours took
place in the years 1936-3q48-39.
How well we remember the way
our parents clothed us, fed amd
stood by us as we advanced to
t occasion. We owe them a lot
--more than we m ev
to repay.
How well we can remember our-
mothers etting us readY for
school each day, and then when it
was time for the bus sending us
and a pat on the b¢k.
Our first day at school was
very interesting, any of Fou re-
nmnm LUe HaS hcd

very first day.
Jerry Sadlef"s dog wouldn't let
him on the bus and had lmd of
his britches leg add dldnt want
to ask a lie bOY where the
rest room was, 't he
knew which one she wanted.
Oh memories are made of this!
