x ELDORADON193 2 l Q! n fl' l I I-.Q Junior Class History On August 18, 1929, an eager group of thirty-three entered East Lampeter High School and announced themselves as Freshmen. We were immediately known by the usual title, Freshies. We were all somewhat timid at first until we became better acquainted with the upper classmen. All through our Freshman year, we had to be content with a con- siderable amount of teasing and many hardships, but we overcame these obstacles and at the end of our first year, we felt that we had accomplished something that could not be taken from us-a worthy place in the High School realm. When we resumed our studies in our second year at East Lampeter, we were proud of the name of Sophs , and felt so much more easy and comfortable. Now it was our privilege to initiate the green class. . By this time we understood what was expected of us, so that we were able to begin this new year with eagerness and zeal. In order to raise money for the coming school years, we held a Spelling Bee. Its success spurred us on greatly. The Sophomores were very active in many school activities, especially in sports. Our boys were brilliantly represented on both baseball and basketball squads, but the girls were not to be outdone, for they rated rather high in athletics. A few of our talented members had leading parts in the two musicales given by the Glee Club. Quite a number of the remaining ones were in the Chorus. Our summer vacation soon came to an end and as we approached our third year we knew that new responsibilities lay in our path. We found that a number of our classmates had not returned to continue through the Junior year, our ranks having dwindled down to only twenty-three members. We decided to have some form of entertainment in either January or February, in order to collect money for the class treasury. As in the Sophomore year, the baseball and basketball teams have a large representation from the Junior Class. Sports are not the only thing the Juniors try, for they are represented in both the Debating Team and the Orchestra. Several from our class took leading roles in the School Play, The Will O' The Wisp, a very exciting and well dramatized mystery. We hope in the future to take part in school activities, as we have been doing in the preceding years, and make a success of it. Cn leaving dear old East Lampeter, we would like to feel that we have done our best and have left an enviable record in our Alma Mater's history. DOROTHEA F-oosE, '33. Thirty
