History of the Class of 1935 INCE Time's waters will not ebb or stay, another Senior Class must 4'Arm the barque, expand the sail, unfurl the top sail for the chaselv Its mem- bers sail into strange seas with happy memories of friendships true and pleasures many. The past is not without its disappointments, but Youth looks forward with confidence to a future which will bring rich opportunities for all. 1932-1933 The Class of 1935 entered Altoona High School in the fall of 1932. The first few weeks brought many strange experiences, chief among which was a sense of bewilderment caused by a new building, new classmates, and new teachers. The members, however, felt more at home as representatives of their group took part in the activities of the School, as they became familiar with the building and learned that the faculty members were friends. Although the Sophomores, in those by-gone days, were permitted to hold but one social during the year, the gala event staged on February 12 stands out as a highlight in the history of the Class. ln recognition of the national holi- day, the study hall was decorated in red, white, and blue. Sophomores found places on the football and basketball teams, they took part in dramatic presenta- tions, in the activities of the Music Department and in the Annual Show. The month of June brought to a close a scholastic year which was both pleasant and profitable. 1933-1934- As Juniors, the Class of 1935 assumed increased responsibilities. ln spite of the fact that they worked with Carnegie Seniors on one side and Progressive Sophomores on the other, the members held a creditable scholastic standing and many of them found a place on the honor roll. The group was represented on all of the athletic teams and in the various other activities. One of the interesting dramatic productions of the year was the English Department play, The Poor Nut, in which Juniors played prominent parts. The Hnal social event of the year was a Junior picnic, an enjoyable occasion. Another year had passed and vacation, that eagerly anticipated season, advanced with luring promises. 1934.-1935 This year brought many changes in Altoona High School. Because of an increased enrollment, the daily schedule underwent numerous adjustments. Almost all study periods were eliminated by an arrangement for late arrival or early departure of students. The activity period was changed from the first to the fourth period so that everyone would be present for assembly programs, for club meetings, for Home Roomisessions, and for a check on attendance. A change was also made in the method of choosing officers for classes, the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior elections were held in Home Rooms on the Page Eighteen
