Fun times came twice or maybe three times a day every year during Gym. We'd hurry and dress and run around the track hoping some of the guys would come join us - the girls gym was at one end of the track and the boys at the other end - so the possibility was good. You probably can't believe it, but our first year in gym we had to wear white blouses and gym "bloomers", they had to come down to our knees with elastic at the knees. (I got hysterical when I think about this.) By our second year we got to wear shorts - I wish I had a picture in our bloomers - but didn't get an annual till the 11th grade. For all four years we played volleyball and basket ball. During the fall and the spring it was basketball and field hockey with callisthenics once a week - more often if it rained. We had nice showers with a dressing room, shower dressing room. One girl to each dressing room and we shared the one shower between. The teachers checked each day to be sure everyone showered and of course our gym clothes went home each Friday to be laundered and returned clean on Monday. It was fun and I didn't do too bad, I always pulled B grades each year.

Lunch time was another fun time. In the 9th grade, 1931-32, it was June, Betty, Margaret and I comprising our lunch gang. Then in 1932-33 we added Henrietta, Antonette, Doris, Trudy, Leah, Margurite and Louise, Jean, Willa and Ruby. We'd swap lunch morsels, discuss how our day was going and if it was Monday it was what we'd done over the weekend and our favorite movie and boys or radio program, or crooner or boys or big band and of course a little politics. I think the favorite thing to do was pull out a few grey hairs in my black hair.
