History In 1926 we entered the Falls City High School the greenest of the green. Unaccustomed to the trials and tribulations of High school life, we were forced to act meek and timid in the presence of the upper classmen and suffered much during the tortious initiation party given us by our superiors, the Sophomores. We soon returned the party to the best of a “Freshie’s” ability- We organized our class by electing Arthur Weaver, President; Albert Maust, Vice-President; and Marcella White. Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Reid was chosen sponsor. We were reoresented in football by Bennet who won his letter. The following year we entered high school with great confidence in ourselves. We elected Robert Schock. President; Stuart Margrave, Vice-President; Freddie Briggs, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Sturdevant and Mr. Cummins were selected as snonsors. We early proceeded to take our revenge for the insults our Freshman dignity had received, on the innocent class of ’31. They very delightfully entertained us in return later in the year. We were represented in football by Shaffer. Prather, and Stump. Our basketball letter-men were Kessler, Faller, and Hahn. Schock, Briggs, Prather, Sonner, Holland, and Stump upheld our honor in track. Weaver, Schock, Thomas, Briggs, Maust, and Boose exhibited Sophomore enthusiasm in the Pep Club. When we had risen to the lofty height of Juniors, we elected Virgil Wiltse, President; Henry Heldberg, Vice-President; and William Boose, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Sturdevant and Mr. Cummins were again our class sponsors. We were very well represented in athletics. In football Faller, Prather, Fisher, and Stump received their letters. Basketball men were Faller, Schock, Kessler, Jackson, McGranaghan, and Hahn. Schock, Briggs, Sonner, Prather, and Stump were Junior track lettermen. As Juniors we bought class rings and pins to keep in remembrance our happy days in F. C. H. S.—chewing gum, shooting paper wads, and throwing notes, under the teacher’s very nose. In March we gave the play entitled “Take My Advice” to raise-funds for the Junior-Senior banquet. So soon we were Seniors, the most dignified and lofty of human beings. This year, our last in Falls City High School, we elected Virgil Wiltse, President; Kenneth Beutler, Vice-President; Dorothy Brenner, Secretary; and William Boose, Treasurer. Miss Ickman and Mr. Cummins this year were class sponsors and have indeed served us well. Gridiron lettermen this year were Robert Schock, Cecil Stump, A1 Fisher, Virgil Wiltse, Lee Houston, and Warren Prather. In basketball we were represented by Alfred Kessler, Harley Jackson, Louis McGranaghan, Albert Fisher, Robert Schock, and George Hahn. Senior track men who received letters were Freddie Briggs, George Hahn, Robert Schock, Cecil Stump and Eugene Sonner. We were very capably represented on the Orange and Black Staff by Florence Martin, Editor; Henry Heldberg, Business Manager; and William Boose, Athletic Editor. Seniors in the Sub-District Declamatory contest were Dorothy Brenner, dramatic; Florence Martin, humorous; and Henry Heldberg, oratorical. “Belinda” was chosen as the class play and was presented May 21, under the direction of Miss Wakelin. The Baccalaureate sermon, May 18, and the Commencement exercises. May 22, with Governor Arthur J. Weaver delivering the address drew the curtain on our high school life. Our high school days now come to a close; time only will tell if “we leave footprints in the sands of time”. But whether we become great or remain unknown the future cannot rob us of the ideals and friendships formed in dear old Falls City Hi. Colene Schmitt.
