Article I. We, the Class of 1935, give to the faculty a long and happy vacation. May they use it to the best advantage. Article II. We, the Seniors, will to the Juniors our seats in Room 1. May they keep the drawers oiled and refrain from sitting on the tops. Article III. We, the Seniors, will the rest of the school our ability to pick up paper. We hope they will execute this dignified task as well as we have. 1.

O Charles Van Bibber On September 5, 1933, we again assembled to forget that we were once in such a low at B. R. A. to take up our studies once more. Posmonl 9 Q I O Q O + A Our class was considerably diminished in comparison with the large group we had been as Sophomores. The first week was spent as usual in a carefree manner, getting used to the bells, periods, fire alarms, and school life in general. The class officers chosen were as follows: President, Albert Hislop, vice president, Her- bert Archerg secretary, Martin Howeg and treasurer, Josephine Janowski. The class de- cided that class dues would be 75 cents if paid before January 1, and 31 if paid after January 1. The Freshman Reception was attended by many upper-classmen, including most of the Juniors. We now began to think of ourselves as be- longing to a separate class. We looked down on the Sophomores and Freshmen, and tried Our class was well represented in football, baseball, basketball, and track by the follow- ing: Albert Hislop, Herbert Archer, Emil Lam- pert, Bernard Snow, Ray Giddings, George Bar- ton, Francis Tapper, Reynold Palazone, Martin Howe, Mary Pearsons, Becky Davis, and Mil- dred Hoisington. With the beginning of May we started preparations for our Junior Prom. May 18 was the eventful night, and the weather pro- duced a cool, fine, crisp evening. A large crowd was present and danced till about one o'clock, during which time refreshments were served, and confetti and streamers thrown about. Our yearly examinations came and went, and then the graduation exercises for the Seniors. What feelings we had now! We were Seniors and had a long vacation before us. What could be more perfect? Elaine Paige l On September 7, 1934, the class of '35 re- turned to their studies for their last year, all being well refreshed by the summer va- cation. The class was under the efficient spon- sorship of Mr. Dorsey and occupied Room 1. The faculty was changed from the previous year, Miss Murdock taking Mr. Carter's place as science teacher, Miss McReynolds replaced Miss Perry as English teacher, and Miss Prit- chard was relieved by Miss Newman in the Home Economics Department. Other mem- bers of the faculty are: Mr. Holder, Mr. Dorsey, Miss Dunton, Miss Sweet, and Miss Watters. Nearly everyone in the class has taken part in the different activities. Members of the class who participated in football are: Pat Hislop Ccaptainj, Reynold Palazone, Her- bert Archer, Emil Lampert, George Barton, Ray Giddings, and Louis Albano. On the basketball team were Emil Lam- pert Ccaptainb, Herbert Archer, Pat Hislop and Ray Giddings, Seniors on the track team are: Martin Howe and Harry Jasky. The class was well represented on the baseball team by Herbert Archer Ccaptainj, Pat Hislop, Francis Tapper, Raymond Gid- dings, Emil Lampert, Bernard Snow, and Charles Van Bibber, manager. The girls' basketball team was partly com- posed of Seniors: Becky Davis Ccaptainb, Mary Pearsons, Eroe Durose, and Mildred Hoisington, manager. Many members of the class were in Dra- matics, Glee Club and orchestra. One member of our class, Bernard Snow, has been elected to the Calvin Coolidge Honor Society. The Seniors who have been instrumental in editing and selling the Banner this year are: Bernard Snow feditor-in-chiefl. Other members of the staff include Agnes Spaulding, Lillian Goldstone, Martin Howe, Mary Pear- sons and Reynold Palazone. The social season this year was very event- ful and consisted of the Freshman Reception and the Junior Prom on May 17. Dancing lessons, supervised by Miss Wat- ters, were given after school At intervals during the year the Dramatics Club presented plays. During the week of May 7 we enjoyed a vacation and came back prepared to do our best for the last six weeks term. In closing the active history of the class of '35, we think of the four happy years spent here and hope that other classes will uphold the standard of B. R. A., our century-old school. The class of '35 hopes that another one hundred years of success will start where this History ends. .4-0-+444-0-9-90-0040+-0-04+ 0-0-Q-0-0-Q-0 94+ 0-0-0 4- 0-+0-on-Q4-of-Q4-0-0-0-+ -O-Q-9+-0-9-O-0-9-9+ I I 4 I t A I Q 6 I O 6 9 2
