Our Yesterdays SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 'Way back in 1936. thirty-three Freshmen bashfully found their way to seats in the high school. As previous classes did, we chose four people from our class to protect us from our fellow citizens, the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. We elected Howard Lugin-bill to serve as our president. The officers with him were Maxine Moser, our vice president; Phyllis Zehr, our secretary, and Ted Schindler, our treasurer; and with Miss Arnold as our sponsor, we started forth quite confidently. The biggest event in our first high school year was our class party. The party was in celebration of St. Valentine’s Day. We Freshmen felt ignored by the upper-classmen, but we unconsciously urged it on by wearing green. In the fall of 1937 the name “Freshmen” was discarded and to be regarded with pity. Our group was decreased by one person this year. Early in the spring all of us worked hard to have an entertaining party in April. It was a success, mostly because of the initiative of our four class officers, namely Ted Schindler, our president, assisted by Orval Habegger, Dorothy Liechtv, and Harold Lehman. Our Junior year was filled with new and interesting events. Early in the fall we chose Howard Luginbill to guide us through a successful year. His assistants were Harold Lehman, Phyllis Zehr. and Junior Burry. Our class party this year was a St. Patrick’s Day party. On Nov. 15 a cast of Juniors presented “Young Smitty,” a humorous play which pleased the audience very much. A more exciting evening of our Junior year was the night we entertained the Seniors with aieception. We were proud when it was acclaimed successful by the Seniors; its success was due to the cooperation of all our class members. Seniors are to be sophisticated, and we tried our best to live up to our name until the high school Hallowe’en party on October 31, which brought us back to normal. We also helped plan the second high school party, a Valentine party held on February 12. Our class officers this year have been Howard Luginbill, president; Elizabeth Sprung-er, vice president; Carolyn Muselman, secretary, and Junior Burry, treasurer. For a class motto, we chose “The elevator to success is not running; take the stairs.” We have learned that success comes only through the exerting of energy. Most of us were partial to roses, so we picked the American Beauty rose for our class flower. With flying colors, choosing blue and silver for class colors, we seniors published this annual, which is the first one since 1926. For further entertainment, we presented our class play, “Anne of Green Gables,” on April 9. With memories of the experiences we have had together and with the many opportunities before us, we twenty-nine seniors enter into Life’s School of Experience, anticipating a climb which we hope will lead to success for each one of us.
