THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 5 EOEOEOCDO:0:30:OEOEOEOEOEODOEOEOEOEOEO: EDITORIALS The closing of the school year always brings thoughts of joy at a work completed and regret, as well, at the passing of this worlz. There is the future to look forward to and the past to glance back over. Every class feels this to some extent, but none so much as the senior class. Right now we of the Class of 1932 are conscious of the situation. We know that our future will be what we make it and it depends on ourselves to make it bright. Moreover our past history shows itself to be a record of achievements and contributions to school life. .- The Recwder staff of 1932 regrets t0 felinquish its charge of the school magazine. We have hoped to fulfill the responsibility placed on us at the beginning of the year and we have done our best to prove ourselves worthy of it. We are truly confident that next year, under such guidance and under the management of the Spirited Class of 1933, the Recorder will reach new heights as a paper devoted to the interests and encouragement of High School life? In this closing issue we take the opportunity of pleading for in- creased student cooperation next year in all lines of work. Better stories and poems and fuller notes will help make the Recorder a more Vital part of school life. More interest in sports will raise the athletic department to a position where it will be more self-supporting and thus offer more opportunities to more persons for physical develop- ment along lines of true sportsmanship. The public speaking and debating departments must keep up their admirable record by send- ing for the third year delegates, as state champions, to the National Forensic League national contests. More people should participate in the work of the chorus and the orchestra if these two are to have a membership in proportion to the increasing school membership. This support is needed in every school endeavor and above all in the class room. With confidence that such will be the case, the Recorder staff completes its work for the year with joy at the thought of the favorable looking future of the magazine and regret at sur- rendering the honor to another class,

6 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 6:?O:O:0:0:O:O:OSOGOEOEOEOEODOEOEODOGO: CLASS HISTORY As the time draws near when we shall sit proudly on the gradua- tion platform and quietly welcome the eloquent sendolf which will be given us as we embark on life's voyage? it is indeed natural that we pause for reflection upon the events of our four years in high school; On a memorable day in September, 1928, a remarkable group, which is known as the Bi-Centennial Class of 32, entered high school as Freshmen, vivacious youngsters eager to grasp the social and in- tellectual opportunities which the comparatively new school was to offer us. School started off in an entirely business like manner. We were guided through the regular ritual which registers one in the high . school; assigned to home rooms; given locker partners and keys and acquainted with the different departments in the building. At our first assembly we were welcomed and introduced to various rules we were to observe and, alas, later to break, as Freshmen. The first day of classes was a novel but trying affair. To the top floor was quite a jaunt and one just couldnt accustom himself to those infernal bells! Imagine our embarrassment when we were told 308 was not the Freshman study hall after we had been so nicely situated, and when we briskly journeyed downstairs with burn- ing faces to be reprimanded by Mrs. Richardson for being late. The first year our class did not organize, as we were too young and unsophisticated to attempt formal class government. After deep thought and careful consideration we did manage to choose Norma Wolcott and Walter Fullerton as Recorder reporters. Home room representatives and the Sportsmanship Brotherhood were also en- tirely new to us. In 1929, girls were given an active part in athletics under the supervision of Miss Wiley; and our boys were also active in sports. Coach Kelly found many willing rookies for the fields of football, track, basketball, baseball and skating in our class. The biggest thrill of our Freshman days came when we were allowed to enter the newly organized Music Club. All classes were eligible to this club if they were in some way musically inclined and as we could successfully whistle a tune, to say nothing of singing one, we were warmly admitted. Leo Ayen has held, at some time or other, the entire four executive positions in that club and we feel well represented. Mr. Sexton, the Head of the Commercial Department, came
