Class ol I936 In the fall we returned-every one with a beautiful sun tan -but, unlike the year previous, We entered the second term in a more subdued manner and from the start were on the look- out for pitfalls. In the N. R. A. parade we very graciously accepted fourth place, even though we knew we were good! Possibly our class did. not shine brightly in athletics-and-we- were reminded of this quite often by other classes but now a fact comes to light that has never before been mentioned. The sophomores have consistently topped all other classes on the honor roll, which really shows our eiiiciency. In all cases we have given our full support to any organization on a drive for money. The first semester officers elected who worked diligently with lVIiss Short and lVIr. Gaskins were Eleanor Hay, president, Charles Conrad, vice-presidentg Dick Bennie, seeretaryg Selma Nasser, treasurer. This group planned a constitution of which we are all proud. ' VVhen the second semester rolled around, elections were again held. Richard Bennie defeated all other candidates for office of presidentg Jean Nicholas, vice-presidentg Dolores Fey, secretaryg and Edward VVilson, treasurer. In these two years the feeling of fellowship has been awakened in every student. This is being encouraged by the class advisers who will will- ingly help any student out of a difhculty. Our only hope is that by the time we are seniors the goal we are so earnestly striving to reach will be within our grasp. Hardships are ex- pected but always are we conscious of the deep appreciation we hold in being able to study in such a beautiful school. OFFICERS-SCCOHd Semester President ....... Vice-President ....

Thus far we have been capable of ha dling any situation arising with the able help of our advisers and class officers. As freshmen we lived up to all former tradition by entering with the idea that high school was going to be one whirling circle of fun. After a few weeks in which teachers slowly lost patience, we decided to lend an ear to their pleas and begin the steady grind they had prepared for us. But alas all pranks were not dis- continued and many times a day the dean and prin- cipal were confronted by sorrowful students who promised never to do it again. just when we had become accustomed to the location of all rooms, we moved to a school whose interior at first appeared to be a puzzle. This time we found as our help- less companions all upper-classmen who were as be- wildered as we. Finally, having settled in 318 and 317 we held a meeting at which 'place we elected our class officers. Jack Hood, that strapping young lad, was elected president, Betty Higgins, vice- president, Albert Nasser, secretary, Genevieve Mil- ler, treasurer. I WW ,p

EPTEMBER, 1931, marked the beginning of High School Days for the Class of 1935. VVe were a trifle timid at first, as Freshies usually are, but proud of the fact that we were four hundred and eighty strong, the largest class ever enrolled in P. H. S. After we had grown to know each other we held our first class election. After a short time we began work on the class constitution under the direction of Miss Claire E. Long. VVe parted in June, somewhat diminished in number, but everyone with new friends, new ideas, and new ideals. During Sophomore year we seemed to keep out of things, as a class, although both boys and girls took part in lntra-mural sports and club activities. VVe were assigned our class advisers, Miss Esther . Johnson and Mr. Warreii N. Butler. Quite a l of time was spent amending the constitution in endeavor to please as many members of the class Setretary. ,. . ...... MARY VVELLER l vb s possible. ' .i Wg, ..
