Class History - - The 1936 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the elfass of 1936, entered A.C.H.S. with an enrollment of fifty-eight students. Although we have greatly decreased in number since then. we have shown our talents to the ibest off our ialbvility. Now we finish our high school life with twensty-nine classmates. As freshies, it was a ihard task to become aocustomed 'to the routine of ihigh school life, and acquainted with our fellow sehooilmaites. Weiner roasts and class parties, together with school functions, helped us in our efforts to establish friend- ships. During this yeair our class was well represented in the fields of music, athletics, and elocfution. September rolled around with alarming rapidity and, with ia 'loss of eleven class- mates, we .took -our plaices as sophomores with increased 'confidence in ourselves. Having a little reszponsibiliity this year in making money for our class treasury, wie sohd pencils with the basketball isiohe-dules printed on them. In the stall of 1934, fthe daily grind blegan again for thirty-five juniors. This proved to be fan eventful year, two junior ipiliays, Here Comes Charlie and Meet the Millionaire , and the jiunfior-senior ibanquet holding the ilimeli-glut. The banquet was laid in a Japanese igarden, with colored lanterns lighting the scene. A rustic bridge and 'pool occupied one corner of the room. The garden was surrounded by hedges of willow and locust, and the sltaige was banked with flowers. A Japanese program was presented during the banquet. As we look back over the past yeair we see many achievements to our credit. The class decided to edit ia large Annual this year instead of the paimphle-t which had been edited lby the oliasses of '33, '34, -and '35. As a means of ,raising money toward this a three-pound box off -candy was raffled off ibefore Christmas. As luck would have it, the prize went 'to 'a isenioreGeorge Richter. Then the class sponsored the play A Wild Filowe-r of the Hills . In addition, the plays Hobgob'lin House and t'Oh, Professor! were presented by members of the class. As a finale a Class Night pro- gram was given. New as we look forward to igrarudition, we fee-l that we have given of our 'best to uphold ethe standards of A.C.H.S. Page Fourteen
