Presenting the Class of 1936 9I1101'S f f T ,. .. fu Vp QE V , M. SICKBERT L. SCHADE G. STUBBS Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer President A REVIEW BY OUR PRESIDENT About September l, 1932, a mighty little band of timid but eager Freshmen turned their steps toward the big-house Cwith no reflections on Sing-Singl. We were surely a peppy gang-until the shock of those first report cards, remember? Our entrance to High School just seemed to start things off. ln our first year, the band held the spot-light. Imagine, a national championship right in our own back yard! And then we wereeSophomores! Very dignified Sophs, tooffor the first week or so of school, but our enthusiasm soon ran away with us as we cheered our wow of a football team on to a championship. About that time We were having quite a task trying to figure out which angle was the supplement to-etc., ah, sweet memories! The band was again a success and our track team walked away with district honors, the first in the history of E. H. S. With the cheers of that last race resounding in our ears, we awoke the next morning as-Iuniors! Naturally, following our terribly dignified Sophomore year, came the sophistication of being Iuniors. Determined to make this a banner year for Iuniors, we settled down a bit-just a bit. Lacking none of our old pep, however, we went loyally ahead, finding that the slight upset in the athletic department turned out fine after all. After saying good-bye to our old friend Mr. Gunn, and welcoming our new teacher of science, Mr. Gouza, we turned our thoughts to basketball. Boy, what a team! And which lunior girl cried the hardest when we lost that heartbreaking game to Alton? Finishing the year by going to the long awaited Iunior-Senior banquet, and watching the band and track team come through with two more championships, we now were-oh, pinch me to see if l'm awake-we were Seniors! Here we are, one hundred and thirty-odd strong, as fine a crew as will ever graduate from deah old Alma, the first Senior class never to go Senior on the rest of the school lwe thinkl. Of course, all we could hear or say the opening days of school was, Say, these Freshies get smaller each year. But there is an end to all good things, and it's time to say good-bye to this grand old spot, so remembering all the wonderful days we've had beneath the roofs of E. H. S., we wish that any success we may have had, or will have, will be carried over to the class of '37, Seven teen

l i Seniors SENIOR HISTORY Four-score and seven years ago we entered through yon portals, Or at least to us it seems so, as we stroll this land of mortals. After four long years of labor we were booted out the door, lust as on life's great journey we'll be booted all the more. We stroll down life's great highway, our diploma in our hand lust what it symbolizes, l can not understand. It can not stand for study, of this l am quite sure- Our books were never open, 'less we dropped them on the floor: Or when we had to use a page for a paper wad or two, Or if we had a great big wad of chewing gum to chew. Of course we have learned something, what more could you expect? The girls have learned the art of paint. The boys have learned to neck. Remember the girls' first experiments in the science of Cosmetics? They reminded us men CAhem! Ahemll of a morning after headache. We've also learned the art of dressy we no longer roll our socks. And when we're in our formal dress, we parade around the block. These are just a few things We have learned, along with many more. We're always first in everything, especially to the door. Scholarship-first in our classes. Band-first in the brasses. Lovef-first with the lasses. Athletics-first in our passes. First in peace and first in war. lf you ask me this has gone too far. We were and ever will be the leaders of E. H. S. And there never, never shall be as great a Senior class. We may go on to higher learning where father went to school, To acquire a Harvard accent and the good old game called pool, How to wear a Raccoon coat and smoke and cheer and stay up nights That, my dear, dear classmates, is what college life is like. The girls go in conquest for a hero of the grid, And he if doesn't make the team, he promptly gets the skids. And that is something E. H. S. we'll never do to you. For to you dear Alma Mater we ever shall be true. An orchid to you E. H. S., you've brought us fame and fortune. You've given us happiness, cheer, and lifep of these we've had our portion An orchid to our teachers, although why l do not know, For behind our dear sweet teachers' C?J backs 'tis not orchids that we throw. And an orchid to you, my classmates, an orchid to you all, For some day maybe your picture will hang upon these walls. Gr if it's not your picture, maybe you yourself will hang, And you'll join your dear old classmates of that good old High School gang Sixleen 1 1 l
