After searching all over the building, I found room 205. I saw several of my friends over in a group, so I immediately joined them. Several minutes passed by, and then I was given a schedule which I was to follow for the next nine months. After several weeks passed, I finally reached the point where I didn't have to have my schedule in my hand but could follow the course of the day without it. We gradually got used to the names of Freshie and Greenhorn. I still can remember how mortified I felt when I was told I had to wear a short dress and a bow in my hair for Get-Acquainted Day. Somehow I survived the day. After several months of getting acquainted with class mem- bers we selected Elmer Reihing as our president. We also elected Marcella Shock, I-larriette Coy, Raymond Perry, and Louis Toth to represent us in the Student Council. Somehow, I just couldn't account for the time, it was the end of the year, and I was told I could go home and rest for three months. After three months of basking in the sun, on September IO, 1934, I, eager to continue my four-year career at Clay, returned. This time I didn't feel quite so bashful because now I knew where I belonged and I patiently waited for the days to pass so that I would become an upper-classman. 20

SE ICR H1 TORY The sophomore year was filled with more activities. We were allowed to join more clubs, and we had more ofa chance on the basketball and baseball squads. For this year, we elected Byron Koch to guide us. ln the spring, being faced with problems of making money to pay for our cuts, we presented to the high school two plays, Peculiar Old Dulfern and Who Says Cant? A little later we had a very delightful party with our home talent entertaining. For our representatives in the Student Council this year, we chose Lana Dubbs, Byron Koch, Elmer Reihing, and Ligouri Shortsle. For May Day we presented a very comic mock wedding. Again history repeated itself when we arrived at the end of the year, not knowing where it had gone. But we were all looking for- ward to our next year which we knew held more in store for us. Out of the hundred and four that had started at Clay, seventy-four of us returned three years later to continue our career. This year certainly held a number of activities in store for us. Ligouri Shortsle was elected president. Earlier in the year we graciously decided as a class to give the seniors the right of presenting their play in the fall. We took a very enjoyable and interesting trip to Port Dearborn, Later in the spring we presented our play, Apple Blossom Time. We had previously presented to the high school Elmer, a one-act comedy, with Paul Schmidt cast as a very pesky kid brother. Then, under the able supervision of Marcella Shock, we gave our prom. Finally we took charge of the last assembly which was dedicated to the seniors. Sadly we said good-bye to them as we looked forward to filling their places. On September 10, 1936, l returned for the last mile. And what an active year it turned out to be! We elected Edwin ,Iaquillard to guide and direct us through our last and final year. Many of the seniors were busy supporting the football fund program. On February 3, 1937, we presented to a full house, Campus Quarantine. Our class was very well represented in baseball and basketball varsity squads. Then before we knew it, we were told that we were no longer students of Clay High, but Alumni. The year concluded with baccalaureate and commencement exercises. 21
