CLASS HISTORY I have a very interesting story to tell you. It is a true one, which I hold close to inv heart and one that 1 shall always remember. It begins on a bright autumn day, about four years ago. The exact time was August 31, 1931 at 9:00 A. M. There were one hundred thirty-eight of us in the beginning. We gathered anxiously at Ferndale High to start on our long treasure hunt that held many sur- prises in store for us. On this day it was explained to us, by experienced ones, that our journey would be divided into four distinct sections, much like the seasons of the year. The first lap could hi- compared to autumn in that it was a very colorful, new experience for us. We found it was a better plan to have three groups within the one big group, hach of the groups was led by a so-called president: these were Jack Hess. Dorothy Koontz and Bill Todhunter. We started on our hike with all confidence in ourselves, even though those who had traveled the road before, made fun of us and said we were only in the way. However, we met few hazards on the first or autumn lap of our treasure hunt. After hiking steadily for nine months we felt the necessity of an inter- mission, so we stopped at a very inviting looking Inn called “Happiness Ahead which was run by Mr. Summers. After resting for three months, which seemed to go like greased lightning, we started on the winter and most trying round. Evidently there were two members who found they couldn’t take “it , since when we started on the winter lap, there were only one hundred thirty-six dressed in hiking togs. Perhaps they realized this division was to be our hardest, and there would be many times that we would be snow bound by the extreme winter weather. Now we were divided into only two groups with James Boyd and Tony Venzon in the leadership positions. We found in this lap the proposed bridges covered with ice that would have been difficult for the average class to cross, but, since there was so much ability in the group, we crossed them with a great amount of ease. When we stopped this time, we found that times weren’t as good as they had been in “32”, so w just stayed at a tourist camp for another relaxation period. When we started again we found that ten of our treasure seekers had remained behind, leaving only one hundred twenty- six strong enough to carry on with the Junior or spring lap. Camping life must have appealed to the class for when we began the third quarter of our hike, everyone was full of pep, a spirit that carried us through the remainder of the year. With this enthusiasm, things began to bloom much like the trees and the flowers bloom in the spring of the year. This time there were four divisions with James Boyd, Ruth Llewellyn, Jean Mit- chell, and Althea Trexel as captains. This inning had numerous steep hills to climb but our many good times made them seem mole hills. When we had gone only a short way we saw a beautiful picnic grove where we stopped to hold a corn roast. As we ate we discussed many problems that faced us at that time and some that would face us later, such as class officers, rings, dances, and the reception. We even went as far as to build a dream that we might be the first class of Ferndale High to take the Junior-S-nior Reception away from the school. The fire was put out and we started again very much refreshed from the pause and full of enthusiasm and ideas. Soon our ideas began to ma- terialize. We elected our class officers, with James Boyd as president, and our ring committee, which was to choose vari-
