HAROLD STOFT DEAN BROOKS MARY HARNESS President Vice' President Secretary-Treasurer HISTORY Was I dreaming? Perhaps, I'm not sure, but there I was in the third Hoor hall helping a new friend to fix her locker. Upon inquiring I found she was one of the two hundred and ninety-seven freshmen, perplexed but happy to be enter- ing upon her high school career in '36, Before l knew it, I was one of them. The vision faded and weeks must have passed because the next thing I remember was a blue book fairly shouting, Fm exams. fSeven times during my dream this same thing occurred and l still shudder to think about it.j A party with the Class col-ors of orange an cl brown waving h i gh flashed past as I recognized the amateur hourl' show the freshmen gave. Everything went blank and I wondered what would come up next. To my surprise the scene was a football game at Herrnstein Field and I was yelling my head off as Ben Sproat and Madeleine Senhf, acting as assistant cheer leaders. added to the excitement of the first game under the new are lights. Off again! ---- this time to land ker-plunk in a Blue Triangle Girl Reserve meeting with Carolyn I-ones, Charlotte Schlegel, and Esther 'lakes as officers. VVhile at the meeting I learned the aims of the organization were to promote co- operation and to maintain a str-ong feeling of friendship among the girls. XVhere have I seen those people before? XYhy, they are the sophomores dressed like Snow XVhite and the Seven Dwarfsul They must be on their way to the kid party. i:F2YJv V6 ,fs , ,Q J. 2 lar. 1 ' , -,Aga H I I0 2 3 e 4 V-.7 6 'I 'O 1 S E, I O R

Another big celebration just drifted past with soldiers and fair ladies going to the Northwest Territory Sesqui-Centennial celebration. Vlatching the junior play in the auditorium I saw llarry Yon Kennel and Helen llitt as the romantic leads. supported by ten other juniors. demonstrate their versatility as thespians in Spring Fever . another junior victory under Mr. Dnncan's direction. As I walked back along the aisle it got longer and longer until I was the only one there. Suddenly I was in a large banquet hall talking to llob Uverly, Dick lYcst. and Priscilla llodgdon whom l discovered were the junior class officers. The place proved to be the junior-Senior banquet, s u gg e s t i n g 'the accompanying thrill of knowing there was but one more year to come. The scene shifted to another banquet. This time given for the .lunior-Se- nior Girl Reserves at the Country Club. The surprise of the evening came when Carolyn XVurster. Mary Oliver, and Mary llarness were a n n on n c e d as next year's officers. Again a flashing scene which my eyes did not perceive and I was now on the first floor hall of C. H. S.-a senior at last. Thirteen senior letterlnen w e r e conversing nearby with Mr. Vernia. XValking down the hall I was niet by Major Beavers, president of the Boosters' Club who introduced me to Betty Vogel and Glenn Brown who had the leads in the operetta Sylvia . Intent as I was to hurry on I could not help hearing that Harold Stout was elected presidentg Dean Brooks, vice-presidentg and Mary Harness, secretary- treasurer of the class of 1940. Banquet time arrived again with baccalaureate, and graduation close at its heels. By this time I knew it wasn't a dream but a reality. All of those seniors I had met in my dream were real and they constituted the largest class ever to graduate from C. H. S. Our knees suddenly felt weak and we got hot and cold as one by one we walked triunlphantly to receive those symbols of the hard Hght we had won. Memories l-some painful and some happy-of our four y ears in th i s school of learning. Each year better than the last until we have arrived at the end where there are no more. XYe go our separate ways leaving it to c h an c e where our paths may cross again. Carolyn lYurster ! l 2 fl, n. I I0 . 1 jf-J 3 ' B 'I 6 5 .,,g...,....f CLASS
