AURORA BOREALIS HISTORY Twelve years ago the class of 11 34 started out to make history and to further advance the honor and glory of Aurora High School. Of the original cln-' we still have: Alfred Blauw, Jack Bowen, Velda Watts and Allan Wit herd. From time to time some dropped out and others came in. In unior High, the class really started in to accomplish things and let the rest of the school know they were a fine class. It was at about that time that the class that we have now became complete to a large extent, although a few entered the class in lower grades and a few in high school. Although a few have dropped out, we still have for the most part the same loyal, hard working class, that we had then. The class as a whole have always supiMirted school activities and taken part in school affairs. In the seventh and eighth grades we made excellent records and showed the rest of the school that we were willing, loyal, and full of j ep. When we were Freshmen we had the largest class in school. We started the year off by defeating the Sophomores in the annual Freshman-Sophomore scrap. We also had a large number of the class taking part in athletics, plays, the minstrel show and other activities. We also gave a radio as a memorial, to the school, in our sophomore year we had the privilege of starting in the new William Smith High School. So we took advantage of the fine building and excellent equipment and also had another very successful year. With the Junior year came a few new faces, a few missing, but still the same class with the same old pep. The Junior Play, the Junior-Senior Prom and the miniature Annual were the outstanding events of the year. We also kept up our scholastic records and had a large number of boys participating in athletics. In our Senior year, our highest and best, we really attained more and accomplished more than any other year. With Miss Gladys Martin as our sponsor we gave a Senior Play, won the basketball tournament, the interclass track meet and carried many other honors. The Senior class also has five members of the National Honor Society: Harold Bowman, who is pres- ident of his class and president of the Student Council; Mary Jeanne Moffitt, who is Head Girl; Alfred Blauw, William Fowler and Christina Rouse. The Seniors also had a large number of men on the football team, and the basketball team was completely made up of Seniors, with one exception. The one great sorrow that the class has had, is the loss of two of their most respected and honored class mates: Charles Van Sickle and Delmar Fry. But as we look back over the last twelve years, we feel that though we have had some misfortunes and have been disappointed in some things, the Joys of our school days far out-number the bad, and we feel that they have been among the happiest ones we will ever have.
