scNicc nisrccy During our Freshman year, the Class of ’34 was not very active. We organized and chose Eugene McDonald for president of the class. Archon and Archonian Societies were formed, but did not materialize. We were formally introduced to the high school in our Sophomore year bv the Juniors who gave a Sophomore W elcoming dance. Robert ood was the president of the class this year. We earned a little money by giving a bake sale. We received the perfect attendance prize of ten dollars. Our active life in school affairs began when we were Juniors. Eugene McDonald was again president of the class. We sold candy which is a privilege of the Junior class. We gave the Sophomores the annual Sophomore Welcoming dance. We had a Hallowe’en party and held several tea dances. At the end of the year we had a Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the I-R Hall. We were the first class, however, who failed to give the Seniors a banquet which had been the annual custom of the Junior class. e received our class rings while we were Juniors. The operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad”, was given in 1933 and the Juniors who obtained leading parts were Bernard Ryan, Jean Sturroek, Harold Savacool and Kathryn Davies. The Junior girls participated in plays and the boys were in the debates. The Senior girls selected the officers of the Thespian Club and the Senior boys selected officers for the Academy and Forum Debating Clubs. A very interesting presidential campaign was held to select a president of the high school. The candidates were Eugene McDonald, Constructionist party; Robert Keeney, Reform party: Bernard Ryan, Progressive party. The Constructionist party was victorious We again received the perfect attendance prize of ten dollars. For four years we have been well represented in athletics. To celebrate the victory of our championship football team, the Class of ’34 gave a Championship dance. We chose Edgar Brown for president of the Senior class and he proved a most efficient president. For four years Doris Friant, capable and faithful, kept the position as class treasurer. The Senior girls were entertained by the University Club at the Sayre High School. We enjoyed a most entertaining program and we were served delicious refreshments. Our Senior Evenings were most successful. The Seniors hope that the Class of ’35 will enjoy the clubs as much as they did. Helen Touhev. Page eleven
