enior ass History As l, the historian of the illustrious and very dignified class of the year one thousand nine hundred and forty, am about to summarize these chronicles in brief, l revert to the past for a few moments, and think how short the time has been since first we entered this high school as Freshmen. Little did we realize, then, the fun and happiness which would be derived from our working and associating with one another during these four yearsl We all learned to like, rather than fear, both teachers and upper classmen. Instead of the customary initiation, each individual was given a specific duty, such as mimeographing, and caring for the bird bath, laboratory and auditorium. Because we escaped the usual miseries of green Freshmen, we called these duties Freshman 'fprivilegesn and, in return for a doggie roast the Sophomores gave us, we favored them with a hilarious play given in assembly. Many of the Freshmen loved to Htickle the ivoriesv and emit sweet sounds from every available musical instrument. A girls' quartette provided entertainment for a musically minded class. Although this year was filled with many new courses of study, we often think of the new friends we made then, and of the joyous times we had. On September 7, 1937, after three months vacation, forty-five of us returned as Sophomores. As we had received initiation last year, so we planned it this year in return for a program by the Freshmen. As a money-making project, we presented the Scott Company Musical Enter- tainers, a really good program of song. All year, too, we had been looking forward to the Biology hike with Mr. Czapf. Finally, on May 13, we left for an enjoyable day in the lovely mountains at Camp Shand. We will never forget how much We had to eat, or how industriously the boys made lemonade. The jolly group declared they had never seen so many baked beans. After a vigorous mountain climb, all of us, both tired and happy, started slowly homeward. On May Day, we set forth a tempting stand of hot-dogs, lemonade and candy. For the little effort required, we were rewarded with fairly good sums. Four new members came to our class this year. Thirty-eight persons belonged to the Glee Club and many also played in the Band. As a whole, the class enjoyed sports, especially basketball and baseball. There were also a few stamp collectors. Although the class aversion was algebra, we enjoyed English and history, sometimes. Before we knew it, we were back in school after Vacation--Juniors, now, with lots of work ahead of us. Much of it was new, especially German, which most of us liked very much. There was a long program of lessons, tests and entertainment be- 17
