Senioral Dignities. .. Juniors and seniors enjoy themselves at the promenade.-Senior officers find an amusing picture-English class holds interest of students. FOUR YEARS OF WCRK AND PLAY Another year . . . filled with achievement and activity . . . added to the history of the class of 1936 . . . the last year . . . the year of departure. Bacca- laureate . . . and a line of 243 happy . . . yet sad graduates . . . winds its way to the auditorium to be addressed by the speaker of the day . . . with the friendly council for their later years. A few days later . . . this same line follows the course . . . from the gymnasium . . . to sit in the auditorium for the last time . . . to hear the Commencement speakers . . . to listen to the farewell address. One by one . . . each graduate is called to the platform . . . and there re- ceives from the hands of the Superintendent . . . the coveted reward for the four years of study and work and play. Four years . . . four short, short years . . . since they entered the portals of the high school as freshmen . . . until they leave as graduates. Strangers during that first year . . . new to every one and to everything. Yet . . . the capability of their four officers inspired them as they started the march toward a goal . . . set far above them . . . the goal of graduation . . . four years hence. President, Chester Lee . . . vice-president, Bill Sipe . . . secre- tary-treasurer, Virginia McGinnis . . . and Student Council representative, Edward McCormick . . . left no stone unturned as the class of 1936 passed through that first year of inexperience. As freshmen . . . they entered whole-heartedly into all activities . . . cam- paigns . . . speaking contests . . . plays . . . com- mittees . . . and athletics. Supported by this small amount of knowledge and experience . . . the second year proved to be less diffi- cult for the class. Having chosen as their officers, president, Clifford Lenz . . . vice-president, Kenneth McCreary . . . secretary-treasurer, Rita O'Brien . . . and Student Council representative, Nancy Keltz . . . these sophomores were prepared to show the upper- classmen . . . that the class of 1936 could not be held back. Setting scholarship above other activities . . . the class immediately took possession of the quarterly honor roll and held it throughout the year. Athletics . . . football . . . basketball . . . and track . . . be- came really important in the eyes of these students. Dramatics . . . speaking contests . . . musical exhibi- tions . . . publications . . . and debates . . . were not complete without at least one sophomore. The class was climbing higher towards the goal . . . still far away. And now they were juniors . . . in their third year . . . the year of jollity . . . the prom . . . the alumni picnic . . . the class play. At the first meeting that fall . . . Theodore Keener was chosen to lead them through the deciding year . . . for . . . if they did not make good this year there was no hope of gaining that goal . . . upon which each and every student fixed his hopeful gaze. VVith the able assistance of vice-president, George Aukerman . . . secretary-treas- urer, Henry Potthoff . . . and Student Council repre- sentative, Rita Maher . . . the president and the class made plans and preparations . . . for the moment of' festivity and celebration . . . when the juniors enter- tain their superior brothers and sisters . . . the Jun- ior-Senior Promenade. But this was not all . . . hav- ing always kept before them the ideals of scholarship . . . leadership . . . character . . . and service . . . eight members of the class were initiated into the school's most exclusive organization . . . the National Honor Society. Then the junior year, too . . . faded away into the memorable past. Then they were seniors . . . happy students . . . bestowing their senioral dignity throughout the school. The year passed only too quickly . . . and soon it was time for Edward McCormick . . . to present the junior class president with the school key . . . and the class moved sorrowfully out of the auditorium . . . while their fellow students sang . . . safe now in the Wide, wide world. . . . The other officers, vice-president, Nancy Keltz . . . secretary, Michael Roste . . . treas- urer, Florence Campbell . . . and Student Council rep- resentative, Jack Cooke . . . hesitatingly relinquished their offices . . . for the class had reached that long- hoped for goal . . . graduation. 19
