Junior Class As soon as school had lapsed from the joyful ease of the first few days into the good old monotonous routine of normalcy, the seventy-two juniors assembled in the auditorium for nominations and elections, with Mr. Vogel in charge. We chose Stuart Miller, president; Helen Moore, vice-president; Emily Andrews, secretary; Douglas Cousin, treasurer, and Miss Riley and Mr. Brumagim as class advisers. Trying to he as near like the national government, it seems, as possible, the new administration immediately levied a tax on us. A little later this group of master minds revealed to us their plan for the junior all-school party. On December 3, we opened up our party in the form of a circus, with a great midway lined with booths selling popcorn, pink lemonade, candy, and the usual indigesribles that one associates with circuses. At one end of the midway was Eddie Hamill’s orchestra, which furnished the music for those dancing up and down the center aisle. Needless to say, the party was a success. Miss Jean George, the dramatics coach succeeding Miss Hathaway, had her first real task with the junior play. On April 27 and 28, the Junior Class presented Tweedles, a Booth Tarkington play, and we have yet to meet the person who doesn’t think it was exceedingly well done. Are you going to the Junior Prom? Of course you are, and if you haven’t invited your girls, get busy, boys, for it is to be magnificent! All the plans haven’t been completed, but we admit it is to be the best in just y’ars and y’ars. Junior participation in extra-curricular activities goes without saying, but still we might mention that athletics, music, and the various clubs have large junior representations, for ours is a class that prides itself on being all-round. So look to your laurels, seniors! ✓ 20

JOHN ANDREW WORDEN The elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up. And say to all the world, this was a man!” ANNA MARY ZONA Kind hearts are more than coronets. To Mytiderse Dear School, whose walls have sheltered us For four short, happy years, Dear School, whose walls have echoed Our laughter and our cheers; Dear School, whose walls have harbored Our secrets and our fears; We find it hard to leave your ways To tread earth’s puzzling maze. You teachers who have guided us Down education’s path, Who’ve worked to make us clever In English, Gym, and Math; And friends who’ve traveled with us Along our carefree way, We find it hard to leave you To greet world’s garish day. But though we seniors live our lives In places far away, And though we study elsewhere, As many of us may, No matter where we wander, Our hearts will still be true To our first dear Alma Mater— Mynderse, here’s to you! 19

Sophomore Class Green grass, green trees, and green freshmen. Long unending lines of them. Just count! One hundred sixty-five! When these boisterous, pushing freshmen invaded Mynderse, they created a real sensation and a new problem for Mr. Vogel; however, there was finally found enough room for everyone, and the class began its high school career. After much campaigning, Bob Ireland was elected president; Viola Minor, vice-president; and Ralph Nicot, secretary and treasurer. The outstanding event of the year was a picnic at the State Park. That picnic! We’ll never forget those baseball games between the homeroom teams, the swimming and boating, those hot dogs roasted by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Rockwell, and Miss Cardwell’s ice-cold lemonade to refresh the ball players and hill-climbers. In fact, Mr. Vogel could hardly keep from being stampeded by those ravenous freshmen. Due to the class advisers. Miss Wickes, Mr. Rockwell, and Mr. Taylor, assisted by Miss Cardwell and Mr. Vogel, the picnic surpassed any activity a freshman class has had in years. As we piled into the cars, still in high spirits, the only casualties were large areas of stinging sunburn and a pang or two from extra wieners. The class elected Ralph Nicot the commanding officer for its sophomore year with Viola Minor, Roy VanEtten, and Bob Burgess assisting. Class advisers are Miss Vreeland, Miss Smith, Miss Miller, and Miss Menegay. With good scholastic records and fair representation in the extra-curricular activities, the Class of ’35 completes its sophomore year numbering one hundred twenty-four, and promising to be one of the most enterprising classes ever to be received into the upperclass domain. 21
