History would be by far too dignified a title to apply to this modest sketch, for it is our purpose merely to outline briefly the outstanding events which have made our high school years such happy and momentous ones. Having spent eight rather carefree years in various grade schools, we cane together, thirty-three in number, in September 1935, in Beaver Falls High School to begin our high school career. Since that time, we have come to look with loyalty and devotion upon this school, which as far as many of us aro concerned has put the finish- ing touches on our scholastic career. Because of the size of the . class it was necessary to make two divisions of Freshmen. At our first class meeting we selected as President, Alberta Saunders; Vice- President, Betty Fredenburg; Secretary and Treasurer, Lena D'Anbros; and our advisor, Miss Carrier. The outstanding social events of the term were a Halloween Party, a straw ride, and a weiner roast at Pine Grove. The year ended with exams and the departure of a number of classmates. Miss Busekist and our Principr', Mr. Berry left us to teach in other schools. i7hen we returned to school in the fall of '36, with only twenty- five members left and Mr. Campbell, our new Principal, we felt that acquiring the titlo of Sophonore would bestow on us an additional charm in the eyes of the upper classmen. It was not long, however, until we realized that we still belonged to the infantile division.

We selected our officere who were: President, Betty Predenburg; Vice-President, Davis Parker; Secretary, Lena D'anbros; Treasurer, Alberta Saunders; and Reporter, Laurene Eofor. Before ue had really settled down again, we were given the sad news that Davis Parker was leaving Beaver Palls and would continue his education in another high school. To give his last days here a tinge of delight, we had a farewell party for hin at the school. The only other social highlights of the year were a trip to the novies, Romeo and Juliet and a weiner roast. In September, 1937 wo really assumed the nano of upper class- men. This year, with twenty-three nonbors in our class, we again chose as President, Betty Predenburg; Vice-President, Francis Pamey, Secretary, Lena D'Ambros; Treasurer, Laurene Hofer; Reporter, Kathryn Hoppe. We had the great privilege of having Miss Haley as our ad- visor who directed us in the successful presentation of our Junior Play, Here Comes Charlie , a three act comedy. She also accompan- ied us on novie trips, Rosalie and College Swing . On Halloween the Juniors and Seniors joined for a gala party at the Community Hall. The year ended with the usual, so-long until September . The fall of 1938 saw us gathered together twenty-three in num- ber to begin the last stage of our high school journey. We welcomed two new members in our gang ; Marion Bush and Zita Yousey. Once more tho class officers were chosen: President, Betty Predenburg; Vice-President, Nolson Marolf; Secretary, Lena D'Ambros; Treasurer, Alberta Saunders; Reporter, Helen Hoch. Our class selected Miss Wurster and Mr. Campbell to uphold us in our exalted ideals. Our first get-together was a trip to see the movie, Marie Antoinette . Our next highlight was the presentation of the Senior Play, People are Funny under the direction of Miss Wurster. During the winter and spring we held t? o card parties and a bake sale at the Community Hall to obtain money for the purchase of our much treasured class rings. On Arbor Day we planted trees on the school lawn so that in years to come c nay say, 77e planted that tree in 1939 . At field day, we sold candy, ice cream, hot dogs, and soft drinks at the athletic field and at the Music Festival at the Community Hall. The high school Field Day was held May 27, we participated in many events and won the banner which hangs in our room. Now, as we stand on the threshold, ready to close the portals of our high school life, let us pause long enough to allow the memory of these happy days to penetrate our minds. May they remain with us forever.
