SENIOR CLASS HISTORY -Urns sEN1oRs KNOW AND THEY KNOW 'PHAT THEY KNOW In the year of 1919, just eighteen years ago, most ot' the boys and girls who now comprise the Se11ior Flass of A. U. H. S. first gazed upon. this great world. Since this memorable year a few of us have stuck together and are now ready to make our advent into the world from high school. l'nlike most of the other Freshman classes preceding us, we entered our high school career as a group of thirty-eight bold. interested and determined students. Although we were considered green and dumb Freshies by the upper classmen. most of us Freshmen thought we were very smart and could get along in high school just as well as they. We soon discovered, however. that there was much to be learned here, and settled down to an enjoyable year. The social events consisted ofa weiner roast at the Cliffs, a Halloween party. and a Spring party. We chose as our officers: Linder Devore, Presi- dentg Warren Dunn, Vice-presidentg Miriam Ehlers, Secretary: Mary U. Yondenbosch. Treasurer, and Mr. VV. L. Briggs as Sponsor. ln September 1934 as a bunch of thirty-one giggling Sophomores, we entered the then familiar assembly, determined to succeed in our second term ot' this education. VVe elected the following officers: Jack VVilson. Presi- dentg Linder Devore, Vice-president: Alvin Ferchow, Secretary: Vl'arren Dunn. TI'9?l-Slll't'l', an.d Miss Pierson, sponsor. VVe initiated the Freshmen at a St. Patricks Day party. and 'they gave us a, Kids' Party. In this year we became acquainted with four new teachers: Mr. Casey. Principalg Mr. Haag, Coach and Uommercial teacher: Miss Stibbins, Home lfleonomics, and Miss Mayhew, Music and English. The next fall we again en.tered the old familiar assembly as a group of twenty-seven full-fledged Juniors. By this time we were really ready for work and took active part in basket ball. G. A. A., Girls' Glee t'luh. Orchestra. Band, Student Uouncil, Paper Staff, Boys' Glee t'lub. and Boys' Quartette. We chose the following officers: VVarren Dunn. President: Earl Tappendorf. Vice-president: James Morehead, Secretary, and Edna Nierman. Treasurer. We enjoyed a weiner roast, a winter party, and gave the Seniors a May Day Banquet. The dining room was decorated to represent a beautifull May Pole scene with streamers leading to all the tables. After the delicious banquet, several of the Junior girls entertained the Seniors with a May Pole Dance. Miss Pierson, as our sponsor, is to be given credit for this suc- cessful event. This year is also to be remembered for the fun we had in the t'onnnercial Contests, the loss of Miss Stibbins, and the replacement of her position by Miss Haefele. This last year we have been more than interested in our school work. The elass, as a whole, is determined to get all they can out of this last year at dear Old A. U. H. S. We lost Edna Niermann and James Morehead from our roll and gained Martha Schroeder. Uleta Hites, Margaret Seyferth, Harold Zander, and f'yril Patteson. Before the semester, Mack Peters left us and we continued as a group of twenty-seven Seniors. Miss Mct'ord replaced Misa Mayhew as Music and Biology instructor at the beginning of this year. On February the thirteenth we gave the Juniors a Valentine party. The rooms were decorated with many large and small hearts and created a beauti, ful scene. Miss Pierson, as sponsorg Linder Devore, President, Cyril Pat- terson, Vice-presidentg Helen Rockwell. Secretary. and Mary F. Vondenhosch, Treasurer. are to be given credit for the achievements this year. With much regret on our part. we bid adieu to the beloved places an.d
