CLASS OF 1936 Lay some more wood on the fire Ana' keep our memories aglow. HAT memories do we, the Seniors of 1936, wish to keep aglow? Those of long hours of hard work spent in preparation of lessons sometimes interest- ing, sometimes boresome. Recollections of theories evolved and principles established by those about whom and under whom we have studied? Memories of accomplishments attained through sheer effort and force of will? Remembrances of friendships formed, of contacts with inspirational leaders? Though the members of the Class of 1936 have lived and worked together for the last three years, the memory of each Senior is kept aglow with his own particular interests. As we are about to leave our Alma Mater, let us note some of the high spots in our Class History. SOPHOMORES OF 1933-34' There were two distinct groups in this Sophomore Class, the one to follow the regular scheduled courses, the Progressive to take special experimental training. The end of the first marking period showed our group to be no better and no worse that our predecessors, though we did have a fair representation on the honor roll. Scholastic attainments were supposed to be our chief interest, but football and other activities presented new realms for conquest by the hardy, the venturesome, the talented, the ambitious. The election of officers, which made Joseph Irvin president, and the interesting trip ,to the Farm Show in Harrisburg helped to bring our number into a compact Sophomore group with common interests. The big event of our year, however, came in February when the boys bustled around learning to dance so that each could take a cute little blonde-or brunette- who ugot on her holiday kirtle and gownw to go to the social held on the twenty-third. Not even The Poor Nut put on by the English Department could eclipse such event as the Sophomore Social. I Another year closed, and the Knights of Greenwood could not go forth more gayly than did the Sophomores to their summer vacation, that alluring season to which all students look forward with so much eagerness. A JUNIORS or 1934-35 The summer sun retreated to a more favorable position in the south as our group once more entered the class rooms of A. H. S. The Juniors were almost as puzzled as the Sophomores because of the new schedule put into effect. Nearly all study periods were eliminated by an arrangement of late arrival or early departure from school. The athletic record of Altoona High was exceptionally good during the year. The football team tied for the state championship and the basketball team won in Page Twenty
