s turn Class History — January, 1935 On January 29, in the year of our Lord nine- teen hundred and thirty-one, some one hundred twenty-five freshmen, of the greenest type, entered the noble portals of John Marshall High School, seeking the mysteries of so-called higher education. After the routine of get- ting accustomed to our new surroundings, we had our first class meeting Jack Schocnweitz was elected class president, and Miss Foster and Mr. Kiggins were introduced as our class advisors for the next few years to come. As we settled down to everyday school life, many class activities came into being, such as social dancing under Miss Foster, and a Frosh baseball team coached by Mr. Wilder. In June we completed our activities for the year with a rollicking picnic at Sea Breeze Park. As we entered our sophomore year, the class was enlarged by the admittance of fifty stu- dents from Jefferson High. These newcomers entered into the full swing of our activities, and now the class was really set in motion. During this period Mr. Kiggins left and Mr. Wishart was chosen to fill his place. When we became sophomores, we naturally entered into other school activities which were most suited to our personal interests. A class meet- ing would be called occasionally by the new president, Fred Chandler, to preserve the unity of the class. We ended our sophomore year with a successful theater party and an after- theater party at Evelyn Gray’s home. During our third year the class as a whole was not very active, but indivi dual members were beginning to break into the limelight in school affairs. In the latter half of the year numerous members were elected to the various honor societies and clubs, and Rolfe Scofield was elected to the office of vice-president of the school. The main class activity of the year, a swimming party at Charlotte Beach, proved a great success. Embarking upon our final and most active year the policy of class activities gave way to school organizations. Many of our members were elected to important offices in the school societies. Time sped rapidly, and before we realized it, fall sports and the senior annual had come and gone, and then graduation was upon us. Thus the class of January 1935 completed its sojourn at John Marshall High School, leaving an admirable record and fond remembrances for its members to recall with endearment in some far-distant hour.
