Jung 1936 TheKALENDS 1932-33 Sept.-Gee, what a thrill to be in high school! I feel really grown up. There are almost seventy People in this class. I feel kintl of small to be a senior. Oct.-We elected Colgan was elected They all look sort of timid. myself. I bet it feels great class officers today. James president, Readith Wilson vice president, Bill Humphries, secretary, and james Dickson, treasurer. Nov.-Isabelle Hinckley and Ruth Fraser warbled their way into the girls' choir. Their super colossal voices make them a great asset to this organization. fan., 1933-james johnson and Robert Irish played the 'leading parts in a freshman play, Outclassed, which was presented as one of a group of three one-act plays. Feb.-Harrie Fraser, the boy who is always walking along behind a pile of books, Herbert Wlall, Robert Irish and William Humphries played in the mighty high school orchestra. April-The freshman class won a prize of twenty-five dollars, the result of a contest spon- sored by Mr. Edgar Lee. june-Well, this is the last day of school. It,ll be swell to be a sophomore. We won't be looked down upon by a group of haughty upper-class men, any more. 1933-34 September-Freedom at last! Now we will take it out on the Freshman! We have ad- vanced from the vast study hall to our new domain, room 23, where, allah be praised! there is no big bell to make us jump to attention. Anyhow, we've passed the stage of jumping. October-NovemberDecember--Why did I de- cide to keep a diary anyway? After all, being a Sophomore is not what I thought. I have to carry my own books just the same, and even ducking isn't much fun any more. People seem to think Sophomores' brains are bigger and bet- ter. I dread to grow old at this rate. One thing has already brought sadness to my young heart, that many have fallen by the wayside and now we are only about fifty strong. But if we stick to the end, we shall be the biggest class to graduate from D. A. january and on into the Spring-True to their start my good friends are showing promise in many ways. They speak in public, play bas- kerball, baseball and soccer. They sing, act, and what musicians they are. They are well repre- sented on The Kalend: by Isabelle Hinckley and Bob Irish. Bill Humphries puzzles me. Will he be an orator, having won second place in the public speaking contest or will he be an elec- trician, since heis always getting lighting effects for plays and dances. The end of Spring-Exams, exams, the Junior Prom and all the commencement doings! I walked down the auditorium with a big, red band on my sleeve. 1934-35 September, 1934-I'm growing older day by day, I know, and I feel aged this month. A junior-imagine it! Maturity is creeping on my shoulders. When we settled, class election took place. All of my worthy friends were elected officers. President ---- Catharine Banuat Vice-President - - Isabelle Hinckley Secretary - - - - James johnson Treasurer ---- Wm. Humphries October-We started the year off well by hav- ing a Junior 'Hop at Hallowe'en time. It was a howling success, tool November-The Girls' Choir was organized and some of D. A.'s famous canaries fI mean carolersj, especially some juniors, were members. It's equal, the Boys' Chorus, was organized at the same time. Herb. Eckert, our renowned bass soloist, sang at the Spring concert, the first of its kind to be held in D. A. December-Even though my mind is failing, I well remember my friends, the great literary gxniuses. They are doing a noble piece of work for The Kalemls. Ruth ,Burgin and Virginia Bouton are the assistant editors this year. February-What a basketball team we have this ycar. Ruth Fraser and Dorothy Bishop play on the team and certainly are a great help. How I cheered when the girls won the championship! March--The boys' basketball team isn't any- thing to find fault with. Long Shot Colgan certainly lives up to his name. U91
