SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On the mom of Sept. 8, 1930, there entered the Florence High School ninety-seven of the most prcmi ing youngsters of the town. We entered because we felt that our coming had a great deal to do with the progress of the school. Of all the scores of classes that have entered the High School, this one alone stood out in the lead. We were the most stupendous, colossal, class you have ever seen. Were we humiliated because we were just Freshmen? Indeed not. In our midst were some of the future “great ones” of the world. There is no be ter way to prove this than to give you a history of the achievements of this great class. CHAPTER 1 On Sept. 15, we elected the following class officers: President, Danny Hard; Vice-president, Bob Butz; Secre'ary and Treasurer, Margaret Eastcn, and Student Council, Nancy Evans and President Hard, and Sponsor, Miss Herrmann. We started our social events by a very successful swimming party which was held at the Hygienic Plunge on Sept. 18. A splashing good time was had by all. We then settled dcwn to hard work for a while, but we soon decided to break the monotony by having a party; so on Nov. 7. the Fre hmen and Sophomores entertained the Juniors and Seniors. On this occasion there was a program in the auditorium followed by a dance in the gym which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. As the year passed many Freshmen became prominent in various school activities. Several bey? were out for football and made a good shewing. When basketball season began, we entered the boys interclass tournament and, although we showed the other boys a few pointers, we humored the upper classmen by taking the cellar position. The girls of the class also had a basketball team of which we were proud. Our participation in activities was not confined to athletics alone, however. In dramatics several Freshmen distinguished themselves— two appearing in the all-school plays, two others reaching the finals in declamation. Under the direction of Miss Hitchcock, the Freshmen started an orchestra. On Feb. 20. we presented an assembly in honor of Washington’s Birthday. On May 22, we celebrated the beginning of vacation with a picnic in Phantom Canon and a swimming party at Carlsbad Natatorium. CHAPTER 2 In the fall of 1931. the class of 34. though weakened in numbers, was stronger than ever in enthusiasm. This year our class really forged to the front as very few Sophomore classes ever do. Two or three weeks after school started we had an assembly and elected Bill Mott president. David K’mpton was elected vice-president and Dolly Walker elected secretary and treasurer. June Meyers and Bill Mott were our student council members, while Miss Kimpton was our choice for Sponsor. This year our class showed up very well in outside activities. In football five of our members went out and two earned letters, which Page 18

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY is a remarkable record. Our class had seven men out for basketball and four of these earned letters, which showed the rest of the school what the Sophomores could do. The Sophomores this year went out for dramatics enthusiastically with four of our members receiving major parts in the All-School Plays. In the declamation contest we were very proud of one of our members for winning the humorous cup, a Teat seldom performed by a Sophomore. The Sophomore girls brought glory to our class this year by tying the Juniors for second place in the Inter-class basketball tournament. The Freshmen and Sophomore party was a party that will be remembered for a long time by those who attended it. It was extremely enjoyable while it was in progress but afterwards—well, we will leave and tell more of the achievements of the Class of ’34. CHAPTER 3 The fall of 1932 was entered upon joyously by our members of the Junior class. No longer were we underestimated—we were now honored as upper-classmen. The following officers were elected: Dale Redlingshafer, president; Margaret Easton, vice president; June Meyers, secretary; George Piercy, treasurer; Rosa Smith, Marjorie Davidson, Bill Mott, Student Council, and Miss Helen Stockwell, Sponsor. Our athletes continued their good work, seven of them receiving letters in football and three in basketbalL Our girls basketball team distinguished itself by winning the tournament. Our actors and actresses were given a chance to show their talents in “Believe It or Not” which was selected for the Junior play. With enthusiasm characteristic of the Class of '34, the cast gave a performance which was a credit to the school. As a result of their good acting in this and other plays, four of our number were honored by becoming charter members of Troupe 28 of The National Thespians. This year the ban on parties was lifted, and we were able to have two enjoyable social functions. The first was an informal party held in the gym shortly after Christmas. The other was the annual party in honor of the Seniors. On this occasion a garden effect was created by decorating the gym in spring colors of pink and green. Dancing was enjoyed by the majority, but games were provided for those who did not dance. The Seniors voted this party an outstanding success. We planned a picnic but an epidemic of scarlet fever prevented this and brought our Junior year to an abrupt close. CHAPTER 4 A dream that we had long treasured was realized at last! We were Seniors! We returned to school in the fall of ’SS for our last and most interesting year as High School Students. We elected our officers early this year with Bill Mott, president; Margaret Easton, vice-president; Ella May Eskridge, secretary; June Meyers, treasurer; and Rosa Smith. Florence Jones, Pete Alberico, and Bill Mott to the Student Council. Our choice for sponsor was Miss Helen Stockwell. Page 19
