Class History On a beautiful sunshiny morning in September, 1934, a timid group of 143 junior high school graduates passed hesitantly down Milby halls and became ex- ceedingly self conscious Milby sophomores. They were very much in awe of the upper classmen, and abashed in their presence. But within an amazingly short time this shyness wore off, and life became adventurous, happy and serene for the little dogies.” Two were added to that herd that year. The following fall these students, wise in the ways of high school, became confidant juniors. Six new members were added, and the year was spent in happy anticipation of the coming year. In the spring of that term most of the group trudged or coasted over the steep hill of final exams to find themselves in the beautiful valley of intellectual Paradise. They were seniors. During 1936-37 other schools have sent 11 students to join the list, and two of the original group have gone elsewhere. The classmates have sorrowed and made merry together. Wistfully they do certain tasks for the last time, and with a joy tinged with sadness they look forward to the final goal,—graduation. Members of the 1937 class will look back on this year as the happiest of their lives. With few failures to mar their record, several double promotions, and ad- ditions of midterm and summer graduates, the class now numbers 226. On June 4 this group bids farewell to high school days with observance of Class Night.
