FOURTH FORM just two years is the classs age Vvlifll whose merits we fill this page, And if we add but one year more 'Twoulcl be called the junior, But if from it a year was taen, The Freshman Class would be its name. So as youafe probably figured out 'Tis the Sophomores we write about. N SEPTEMBER OF 1933, the sixteen members of Archmere's new freshman Class met for the first time. As time passed, they formed many friendships angl became more accustomed to their new surrroundings. Eoothall season came, and these young Archmerians rut six men on the squad. Continuing this line school spirit into haskethall, four of them won places among those representing Archmere for the first time on the court. In the spring six of these Freshmen responded enthusiastically to the call of the diamond. Thus having shown that the hrawn of the class more than held its share in the field of sports, we now turn to see what the 'lhrainsv have accomplished. Looking hack over the honor rolls of the whole year, we find that on an average at least three memlwers of this class of '37 have attained honor roll marks every fortnight. Therefore at the conclusion of their Freshman Term these hoys may well I-ride themselves as they look hack on their many achievements. With slight changes this small group came hac': to Archmere the next term to hcgin its Sorhomore Year. This time, however, Archmere was an old acquaintance to them and little time was needed for hzcorning familiar with it once more. Soon the class was organized with Er. Mclieough as Advisor, and oflieers were selected as follows: james Shea, President: David Quinlan, Vicefpresidentg Paul Callahan, Secretary: and Victor DeBerardinis, Treasurer. 21

HE CLASS OF '36, the present Fifth Form, is in the real sense of the word, the Charter Class of Archmere, since it will have been the first to complete the original four years of high school course. In the Freshman year there were fifteen of us, now there are over twenty, although of these only ten are left of the first group. Considering its size, much has been accomplished by this body, and a remarkable spirit of cofoperation prevails. After nnally settling down to the realization of the exalted position we held as Juniors, we began to show signs of great activity. We gave the school much good material in football, basketball, and baseball. From our midst came the golf champion and the first two winners of the bowling tournament. Plays, debates, and kindred activities found willing talent among our members. Following the example set by the Hrst Juniors, we ordered our class rings this year and received them in time for Christmas. Plans have been discussed since before Christmas for the first graduation ceref monies to be held at Archmere. Instead of giving a dance the night of graduation to bid goodfbye to the Seniors, it was decided, with the wishes of the graduating class taken into consideration, to hold the Junior Prom soon after Easter and to give the Seniors their last official breakfast at Archmere on Commencement Day. 20

The class of '38 has eofoperated in every possible way with the upper classmen in any under' taking which they have sponsored. With Fr. Sromovsky as Class Advisor, the Freshmen built up a strong class organif nation which successfully carried out the plans they had made in the early part of the term. The Class was well represented in sports and there were always several Freshmen on the Honor Roll. As a whole the Class is well qualiiied to take its place at Archmere next year and make room for new Freshmen. 90
