FRESHMAN Four years ago thirty of us entered high school with all the determination that freshmen usually possess to act superior and not let the upper classmen consider us green.. Although we couldn’t help being a little bewildered at first, by the end of the year we were rather sure of ourselves at last. We held no class activities the first year, but we participated in ail other school activities. At the end of June we entertained the sophomores at a picnic at Rose-land. Our class officers were: President -- Ruth E. Lang Vice-President — William Manley Secretary — Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Aliene de Graw Class Advisor — Mr, C, W, Kovey SOPHOMORE We considered ourselves well established as important students in our second year although we still weren't quite at ease around the seniors. On March 1, we had a Freshman-Sophomore party and in June another Freshman-Sophomore picnic. Our class was represented in sports, assembly programs and other activities this year. Class officers were: President — Leonard Walters Vice-President — William Manley Secretary -- Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Drew Morris Class Advisor -- Mr, Hovey Junior At last we had become upper classmen and we felt nothing could stop us now. We entered all activities with a feeling of pride and importance. After the basketball games we held several dances which turned out very successfully.

In April, under the direction of Miss Klebert, we produced a minstrel show called The Coo-Coo Club Capers. In March the class was well represented in the annual prize speaking contest and on June 5, we held our Junior Prom. On June 19, we took the Seniors to Owasco on the annual picnic there. Officers were: President — William Manley Vice-President — Leonard Walters Secretary — Lillian Earle Treasurer -- Frances Macomber SENIOR Our four long high school years are now drawing to a close, and of the 30 of us who entered four years ago, £0 are left -- each of whom hopes to graduate. On November 30, we held our senior play, The Sour Grapes Club , which was produced under Mr. Kerb’s direction. On April £3, we held our annual senior ball for which the music was supplied by Bobby Lyons and his orchestra. A picnic with the juniors at Owasco at the end of June will end our year's activities. Officers were: President -- Frances Macomber Vice-President -- Lillian Earle Secretary -- Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Bernard Ostrander SENIOR BALL The seniors held their annual senior tall on April £3, 1937. The gymnasium was decorated with blue and silver crepe paper and silver stars suspended from the ceiling. Mr. Button was responsible for the lovely decorations, and those who participated in decorating the gymnasium were Helen Youngs, Lenna Burke, Virginia Farr, Drew Morris, Bill Manley, Charles Denniston, Terry Sheehan, and Mr. Button. Much credit must be given these people for their part in making the ball a success. Bobby Lyons and his orchestra supplied the music and the dancing lasted from nine to one. This year's senior ball was enjoyed by all of the very fine crowd which attended it. — Aliene de Graw
