Nautilus History of l The Class of '32 fllotto: On Lifefr Unresting Sea U76 Now Ellzllfzrlcf' To the class of 1932 comes the climax of three years of struggles and aspirations- graduation! Looking backward we find we have forgotten the hardships, and remem- ber only the many happy hours we have spent together. Reminiscences of the past bring forth many delightful memories, and make us feel that we can be justly proud of our achievements. One memorable day in October, 1929, while we were mere sophomores, we felt the 'furge to take a prominent part in school activities, we were bubbling over with ideas and enthusiasm. Our first step was to organize. Cui' ardor, however, was momentarily quenched by lVlr. Gttois ultimatum that we must prove ourselves worthy of the responsibility before organizing as the class of '32. VVe set our brains to work to think of some project we might sponsor. Finally, we decided to accept the chal- lenge by sponsoring the athletic dances for the spring semester of 1930. From then on much of our time was devoted to making a success of these dances. The two big dances, f'May Days, Play Daysi' and April Showers Bring May Flowers were joyous affairs, and well repaid us for our efforts. In our junior year, the athletic dances gave way to senior high dances. At the request of the administration, we, the Juniors, took over the task of sponsoring these dances, in order to bring about a closer fellowship among the students of the Senior High. Five dances filled our year, and then as a culmination of our social program, we gave a dance in honor of our first June graduation class. Although the dances, our service to the school, demanded so much of our time, hardly any school organization or activity could be found which did not include the names of many members of our class on its roll. We were an up-and-coming bunch! At last our senior year-when dreams come true! The Senior Prom, teas, dances, and then-February graduation! This event took from us forty-seven of our members. Ties were broken, and two and one-half years of happy companionship came to an end. Time, however, flies quickly, and the rest of us, almost before we know it, will have passed the same mile-stone in June. But before we write Hfinisu to the chronicles, the class of '32 cannot help pausing to exult a little over its originality-a Sunrise Baccalaureate and a clever Senior Souve- nir Bulletin. On Commencement night, we, the fifth graduating class, will sing Roosevelt's first Alma Mater which was composed through our tireless efforts. YVC hope this will grow in the love of the students in the years to come. This history would be incomplete without some mention of the inspiration and guiding companionship of our sponsors, Miss Scott, Mrs. Sullivan, Miss Powelson, Mrs. Morrison, Miss Bartlett, and Mr. Franklin. The class owes much to their kindly interest and encouragement. For the glories of our Alma Mater' and for Ye Olde School Spirit, many busy but happy hours have been spent by the class, its ofhcers, and sponsors. Because of such ideal contacts, we hope to be, as a class, a little better, and as individuals, a little finer. lf we have accomplished this, our aim has been fulfilled, if we have accom- plished our aim, we are content. f'Auf lViedersehen ln 'l'wenly-One
