. 6 ' .Gilbert On September 'I, 1935, forty-six Fresh- men, destined to be the illustrious class of '39, began their careers as Howard High School students under the efficient guidance of Miss Mildred Moore. After a few days of chasing through the halls, we were capa- ble of finding our proper classes without bothering our patient teachers or kind HJ upper classmen. Initiation Day was the most harum- scarum day of our entire Freshmen year. We all were made to wear our clothes back- wards, carry a raw egg, and wear an onion for a necklace. The girls Wore short dresses while black cotton stocking held up with green ribbon garters adorned their legs, and large green bows were perched atop their curls of various hues. The boys were made to roll up one trouser leg and wear bright socks. After being duly initiated by the Sopho- mores, we began tc organize our class and elected Marjorie Rader as President. Dur- ing the year several social functions were enjoyed by this group. When we became Sophomores, we in turn, initiated the newly arrived fifeshies whom we considered very green indeed. Our second year brought two new mem- bers, Sam Westfall and Nadine Anderson to our group, and we were haDDV that Miss Moore Was to giude us again. Our main so- cial function was the Christmas party given us by Miss Moore and Mr. Bergsma. During that year we regretted losing Miss Moore, but our regrets turned to joy when Miss Payne aided us in a pleasant manner for the remainder of the year. And then, we became juniors with Miss McCollough helping us through this trying lap of the journey so that we might eventu- ally become dignified seniors. One of the seasoifs biggest events was the presentation of our junior play, Murdered Alive, which proved to be a howling suc- cess. On April 21, We entertained the Seniors with a delightful banquet. The theme of Hitch Your Wagon to a Star was carried out in purple and silver decorations. In re- turn, the seniors Look us on a very pleas- ant Treasure Hunt. We are now on the last lap of our four mile dash with Miss McCollough for our sponsar. Sometimes we wonder when look- ing at the freshmen if we were ever so green and then when looking at the juniors, if we could have been quite as conceited. We de- cide, No. After much discussion and many argu- ments, the class rings and announcements were chosen. Much to the juniors' chagrin, our senior play, 'The Eighteen Carat Boob, was pre- sented in a creditable manner to a capacity house which was very appreciative of our efforts. On April 27, we were delightfully eiiter- tained by the junior class at a banqiet in our honor. In return we awarded them with a hike. We find this a convenient spot in which to list the names of the seniors who started together in 1927. They are: Mary Andrews, Evelyn Calvert, Betty Gene Frailey, Geofge Gorman, Marjorie Rader, Muriel Jontra, Helen Vanliuskirk, and Ward Wright. Much time has been spent on our com- mencement week exercises. What lies be- yond, we can only surmise, but it is up to us now to make the niost of the knowledge we have gained during our past four years' training. Remember, The door to success is labeled, Push.
