Song CLASS POEM Faithful, always faithful, We'll strive our best to be To Alma Mater, to our class, And to humanity. No matter Where we Wander Ohl Let us not forget Our kind and patient teachers- We leave them with regret. The good times spent together, With classmates and with friends, Will linger on foreverg When other memories end. And, now departing from our school, We pause to praise her name, To her We'll always faithful be, Her glories well proclaim. ORPHA S. HOLUNGER. 4 29 J ilorary. And the members of the meeting were

none other than the ghosts of the Sophomore, Iunior and Senior Years of the class of '37. The discussion was quite a heated one, each ghost claiming for its own the honor of having been the best year the class had spent in E. H. S. You must admit, began the Sophomore ghost, that l had the most difficult task. It was I who introduced them to the fact that they were now in Senior High School. How well I remember every one of them, ninety ambitious, energetic, young fifteen-year-olds! . . . and, unknowingly, he lost himself in memories of the 1934-35 term. How grown-up these Sophomores felt at their first class meet- ing! the l934-35 ghost continued. They elected Harold Lehman as their president, Orlo Proctor, Ir., vice president, Robert Garman, treas- urer, and Rachel Bashore, secretary. Soon the school as a Whole got into full swing. First call for foot- ball practice! And how those Sophomores ran to the athletic field! Although being mere children, they proved invaluable in holding down the bench. Soon after football season was over, came an event of great importance to the boys-they were initiated into the Hi-Y Club. How embarrassed they were to go to school for a whole week wearing overalls, no ties, and carrying hammers! A few Weeks later the girls were admitted to the Tri-I-Ii-Y. Their initiation was quite con- spicuous, for they were made to wear 'sandwich signs' and carry kettles to school. May 12, 1935, was a day never to be forgotten. It was on that day that one of the most popular girls in the class, lane Gochnauer, was fatally injured in an accident. No one realized how deeply the tragedy was felt by her classmates, and it was with heavy hearts they continued Without her. Before the end of the term I had another task to lay before them, -levying class dues. However, it didn't seem to have much effect on them, and on their last day as Sophomores they left E. H. S., a group of happy young boys and girls, far wiser and more experienced than they had been on the first day of the term. You did a very good job of breaking them in, the Iunior ghost started, but certainly you did not give them the thrills and good times they had in my year. That year their officers were: Orlo Proctor, Harry Horning, Robert Garman, and Rachel Bashore, Soon after their organ- ization, they chose as their class colors cherry red and white. Early in November they held a class meeting and selected their class jewelry. November twenty-sixth was undoubtedly the most important day of the year. After weeks of preparation under the guidance of their faithful friend and advisor, Mr. Moorehouse, they presented their Iunior Entertainment-two one-act plays and a minuet. The entertain- ment proved a great success!-the talk of the school and town for weeks. Early in March the student body became very much interested in the operetta, 'H. M. S. Pinaforel' Although only one Iunior was assigned a solo part, a great many of them were in the chorus, and were most faithful in coming to rehearsals and doing everything they could to make the operetta a success. The 'Pinafore' was presented to capacity house audiences April 18th and 19th. During football and basketball seasons, the Iuniors Worked hard, selling candy and 'hot dogs,' to make money so that they could give the Seniors a farewell banquet. May fifteenth was set as the date, and KSU!
