At the beginning of the following year, the class, now labeled “Silly Sophs”, returned to A. C. H. S. to resume their studies. The officers elected were: President, George Richter; Vice President, Roy Landreth; Secretary, Helen Wilcoxon; Treasurer, Delbert Primm; Student Council Member, Waldo Joachim; Reporter, Leila May Johnson. In the past year the class has achieved further honors under the guidance of these officers: President, George Richter; Vice President, Harriett Culver; Secretary, Delbert Primm; Treasurer, J. Edwin Spragg; Student Council Member, Leila May Johnson; Reporters. Naomi Trainor and Audryn Cline. In all three years, members of the class have distinguished themselves in literary events, glee clubs, band and orchestra, and athletics. At the close of the Junior year, the class is still pushing forward with 35 members, but, in spite of the small number of crusaders, it is hoped that the fourth and last year of the class of 1936 will be a bigger and better year of achievement and success.

FRESHMEN The beginning of the school year found forty-three Freshmen prepared to begin their high school careers at A. C. H. S. According to the usual custom, the “Freshies” were warmly welcomed to A. C. H. S. by the paddles of the upper classes. After the class had become acquainted, a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. Those elected were: President, Robert Fisher; Vice-President, Bonnie Richter: Secretary, Mary Jones; Treasurer, Margaret Engel; Student Council Member, Glenith Hurt; Reporter, Jane Eckler. The Freshmen were very sorry to lose three members of their class, Viola Shelton, Eric Jones and William Manis. Betty Primm, a former student of Lincoln High School entered school at the beginning of the second semester. Several Freshman boys who reported for track proved themselves quite invaluable. Those boys who reported were: Warren Hughes, John Basso, Bill Manis, Ernest Golladay, and George Olson. The newly organized band claimed quite a number of Freshmen. Freshmen in the band were: John Basso, Jean Graham, Harry Enge’, Henry Alinger, Harold Cantrall, Charles Hart, and Warren Wiseman. Glee clubs, the Athenian Homemakers, the Future Farmers also claimed many Freshmen.
