We were the class who went to school on Scott Street with Miss Elizabeth Singleton as our principal. Back then we wore uniforms – navy skirts with white or blue shirts – Monday through Thursday; then on Friday, which was assembly day, we were required to wear a two-piece blue silk uniform with snap-on white collars and cuffs. The teachers I remember were Miss Jarrett, Miss Lawrence and Miss Hood, who taught English literature. Back in the 1930s we had four years of Latin, ending up with Virgil's Aeneid. In grade school our playground was Astor Street, where we used to roller skate. In high school we collected at Angie Johnson's apartment and danced and smoked cigarettes with Boys Latin School. Every two weeks we put on long dresses and danced with them again at the Fortnightly Club. Graduation was at the Casino Club in long white dresses, marching down the aisle to "Pomp and Circumstance." I don't suppose that has changed. There were 30 in our class, the largest in school then. After school I became a reporter for a Chicago newspaper and later here in Arizona editor and publisher of a local newspaper. I am currently writing free-lance and books on Arizona's history. During these years I was married and had three children; now have three grandchildren. 3 1 1 Beth Hardy '24 with long-time friend Kendra Gaines '64 (photo by Ken Wolfgang) 2 Ann Steinbrecher Windle in 1929. 3 Carol Teusher '60, Bill Bowe '60, Jim Kegel '59, Doug Sohn '80 and Steve Heineman '58 at Hot Doug's this summer. 46 Latin Magazine
