CLASS HISTORY We can proudly boast up our truly American characteristic — that of be- ing a cosmopolitan class, having brought seven different groups to the Saxton Liberty High School. The fall of '27 was the beginning of a public school education for sixty-three tots who, half eager and half afraid, found their way to the first grade at Dudley, Greenwood, Cherrytown, Valley School, Marysville, Stoncrstown, and Saxton Schools. The second year the students of Marysville and the Valley Schools were brought to the Stonerstown Elementary School while the other students attended their respective schools until the fall of 35. On September 2, 1935, a group of shy youngsters stumbled through the portals of the new Saxton Liberty High School building. We were not wel- comed by the usual shouts up front, freshies, since even the upper class- men were unusually self-conscious. We began to feel slightly welcome when we learned there was to be no initiation party according to the ruling of the new Supervising Principal, Mr. Howe. Our Sophomore and Junior years passed quickly. Social functions? Oh, yes! football parties, a style show, the Easter dance, and a Junior-Senior Prom. August 31, 1938! We were Seniors! Several, students from Dudley joined us. We had quite a time adjusting ourselves to be Dignified Seniors, but at any rate we have taken a prominent place in sports, music, dramatics, and the extra-curricular activities. We took a large part in the operetta, Miss Cherryblossom, sponsored by the Chorus this year. Our dramatic abilities were brought out in our Senior play The Antics of Andrew. We have been active in such groups as the Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, F.F.A., Band, Chorus, Pep Club, and the Press Club. Many boys and girls of our group have been outstanding in the sports activities: basket bell, football, track, and soccer. Early in our Senior year a shadow dimmed our gayety. The golden gate- way to the Eternal City opened to one of our class, Clarence (Nickle) Dixon, Jr. September 20, 1938. Because of his sunny disposition and kind ways Nickle was very popular. And he had participated in many activities, being a member of the Band, Chorus, Hi-Y, Track, Basket ball and Football Squads. But whereas the allwise and merciful Master has called our beloved and respected classmate home, we bow to His will. The deeply appreciated help, instruction, and advice given us during our four years of high school by our Supervising Principal, Mr. Howe; our Principal, Mr. Sharpe; and the other members of the faculty will continue to be of illimitable benefit to each of us even though we now become a part of the history of the Sexton Liberty High School. — Arlene Bowser Virginia Cunningham Reed 22
