Senior Class History FRESHMAN YEAR Four years ago, in the year 1935, one hun- dred and ninety-five healthy little freshmen cherubs, eyes sparkling with mischief, and faces beaming with fun, entered the doors of that well-known institution, Manistee High School. A few hours later, many freshmen were objects of unimaginative creation. It was quite evident that upper classmen had ac- complished their works of art. With the assistance of those villainous implements, scissors and clippers, they had clipped and snipped, until all that remained of their beautiful locks was a short, seared stubble. The freshmen were initiated. 'After the freshman had become accus- tomed to general routine of Manistee High they elected the following officers: Cleora Forth, president, Dennis Shea, vice-presi- dent, Edwin Piotrowski, secretary-treasur- er. The class, whose sponsors were Miss Doris Brower and Mr. Hegler, did not en- gage in any activities during the first year. SOPHOMORE CLASS A year later, 1936, that same group had advanced to the sophomore fwise fooll stage, and with it originated Mary's Little Lamb, but more familiar to most of us as the homeroom, C-3, sponsored by Mr- Joseph Willard Krause. To give a very dis- tinct picture of that homeroom, the follow- ing more prominent members should be mentioned: Mome Derengoski, Peanuts, Mome Piotrowski, Murphy, Mike Bialik, and Lewis Peterson. Enough said? The following class officers were elected 5 Jerome Derengoski, president, Edwin Piotrowski, vice-president, Marcia Field, secretary-treasurer. Miss Thomas and Mr. Brainerd were the class advisors. THE JUNIOR CLASS We're upper-classmen now l was the triumphant cry of the junior class of 1937 as they took their places in C-10, the junior homeroom. This was to be their busy year. No time for fooling around this year. At least that's what they said. Miss Thomas and Mr. Brainerd were again class sponsors, and with their help, the juniors hoped to make the year a tre- mendous success. The class hurriedly nominated candi- dates for the class offices, and the following students were the successfnl ones: presi- dent, Jerome Derengoski, vice president, Edwin Piotrowski, secretary, Dennis Shea, treasurer, Lewis Peterson. One of the most important events of the year would be, of course, the Junior Play, and Icebound,', was selected. For many weeks, rehearsals were held, until the play was in complete readiness. It was success- fully presented November 19th and 20th under the direction of Miss Thomas. The second highlight of the year was the J-Hop. It would take time and effort before that could be staged, so preparations were begun early. Various committees were selected early to formulate the plans. Since decorations are the most important factor in planing a J-Hop, that committee was the first and largest. Evelyn Pepera was made chairman, and was assisted by twen- of the class members, Smaller committees were chosen, headed by Edmund Knaffle and Charlene Mucha respectively, to ar- range for music and refreshments. The night of May 21st was a memorable one for all the juniors. The crowded weeks of work and drudgery were completely for- gotten, as they gazed at the sight before them. The gym had been completely trans- formed into a lovely flower garden. The girls gowned in frocks of pastel shades, and the boys in their immaculate white flannels and dark coats, dancing together to the strains of Harry Goslinis music, under dim- med lights, presented a spectacle that was breathtaking. The juniors were satisfied. The J-Hop was a success. SENIOR CLASS 1938! Another class of seniors to be grad-
