CLASS CL “With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,” we freshmen boisterously descended upon a hapless Mynderse in 1935 with all the fury of a miniature thunderstorm. Although we were immediately confronted with new surroundings, new faces, new problems, and new modes of thought and action, we were disturbed not at all. In truth, so exuberant were our spirits, that the sounds of our laughter and shouts reverberated from every wall. However, under the skillful guidance and tutelage of our advisers. Miss George, Miss Wickes, Miss Cardwell, Mr. Doyle, and Mr. Wormuth, we early learned to adapt ourselves to our new environment. The results of our class elections held early in the year were Bob Dvson, president; Joe Cerep, vice-president; Jane West, secretary; and Dale Kissell, treasurer. At the annual Freshmen-Sophomore picnic held at Cayuga Lake State Park at the close of the year we veritably stuffed ourselves with weiners, washing them down with deeps drafts of lemonade. Between that and the swimming, the rowing and the popcorn and candy that we indulged ourselves in, it is little wonder that we returned home in a state of extreme agony, our proverbal constitutions having, in all veracity, revolted. As sophomores, we selected Bob Horton to play the role of executive. During this year, although we again distinguished ourselves in the field of athletics, we spent most of our time making rapid inroads in the paths of learning. That, our second year, also concluded with a picnic; and having pledged ourselves to eat more than the freshmen; we returned home, as one may expect, barely able to toddle, not a whit wiser from our former experience. Our first two years passed like sand through our fingers; we became jolly Juniors, basking in the Mynderse sun at long last. With Dale Kissel as our President, we immediately proceeded to make hilarious plans for our all-school party, which featured “A Night of Horror.” Our presentation of “The Patsy, a three-act comedy by Barry, was an overwhelming success; indeed,’all Mynderse was positively astounded by our realistic portrayals of the various characters. In April, two of our number, Philip McEneny and Dale Newman, were chosen as Junior Rotarians for a combined period of one year. Miss Julia H. O'Brif.n Class Adviser

THICTy NINE The Junior Prom, with its Hawaiian theme, was in effect, the crowning point of our entire year. Barbara Jcnner with her pages, Billie Baker and Cameron Fraser, and her court led the grand march; and “soft, Lydian airs” were diffused through the gvm as we lightly danced away the glamorous hours. Thus it came to pass that the Class of ’39 occupied the senior homerooms; and September, 1938, marked the advent of an epoch-making year at Mynderse. Election day came and was gone, leaving in its wake the following results: Bob Cologgi, president; Barbara Jenner, vice-president; Duane Gustafson, secretary; and Joan Harrigan, treasurer. Our tea-dance w as held at Homemaking Center in October, at which time the student body was formally presented to Mr. Page, our new superintendent of schools, and Mrs. Page. Many guests, good music, and good food w ere the order of the day. Robert Cologgi Again, the Class of '39 triumphantly scored a hit Class President when we presented to an appreciative audience on November 10 and II, the “Royal Family,” a three- act play bv George Kaufman and Fannie Ferber, which was based on the turbulent life of the Barrymores. Then, came the Ball! Flic spicy fragrance of evergreens permeated the gym as Joyce Lindsey, surrounded by the fair maidens of her court, was enthroned as Snow Queen. As we glided to the music of Pete Renzi’s Band we felt very proud of our gay party—a happy prologue to the holiday season. In parting, due credit must be given to perennially good-tempered Aliss O’Brien; we can feel ought but immeasurable affection for her kindly, lovable personality, her efficiency, and her far-sighted judgment. All too soon is our shortest, but fullest and sweetest year, coming to an end. As we complete our cycle of days at Mynderse, it is truly with deep regret that we leave this school we love so well and turn to the new ventures that lie ahead.
