As we trooped into our first year of high school activities. Captains Dorothy Rhoads and Janes Hall were in commend of our company for our first year. After a tough” initietion at the hands of the upper clessnen we duly acquired the rank of full-fledged high school students. In the spring of 1935 we were feted at a party riven by the Sophomores in our honor, '..lien school was dismissed for the year seven from our company were A.U.O.L. iirly in the fall of 1935 when we returnee as secondyear men or Sophomores a new member Joined our ranks, Malcolm Hilliard. This year we performed the initiation rites on the green Freshmen who had come to B.H.S. to obtain knowledge. The Captaincy for this veer was shared by Malcolm Hilliard and Louise Hook. This was e rather uneventful yeer for us but in the spring we gave e lawn party, at Betty Ceywood’s for the Freshmen which was quite a success. During this yeer nine more privates left our army. The fell of 1936 rolled around and 5 new members enlisted in our ranks after hoving graduated from ..heeler High. Captain Roo- erta Easlick led our troops through the skirmishes for this year. We had Just begun to realize that we would soon be graduating and needing money to take our trip with. T.e launched e campaign be- ginning with the annuel Junior play which was entitled. Spooky Tavern . This wes a success due to the co-operetion of the class as well «a the cest and elso to the fact that it was the first play to be given in our new auditorium. The J-Hop was another ettrection of the year. The gymnasium was a prettily decorated garden and soft music was furnished by Ed Irvin and his Bandoliers.” Even if we dion't make a lot of money on the dance we all had a good time. Later on in the year the Juniors had a Roller Skating Party at Crystal Leke for the infantrymen. As our third year in high school drew to a close three more of our troops had left ua leaving an enlistment of 46. Our final year at B.H.S. was very successful, especially from an athletic standpoint. Twelve boys from our ranks won glory for thenselves and our school by their combat on the football grid- iron end besketbell floor. Kenneth Barton tma burdened with the responsibility of commanding our forces for this lest yeer end he did a good Job of it. This class which has always been known for individuality scored again by not giving the traditional formal Senior Prom. They gave e dence but it was an informal effeir with Sin Allen's Orchestra furnishing the music. The Seniors presented their annual play, this time, The Yellow Shadow to a large audience on Lterch 30, 1938. Ur. Ray Swenk deserves crecit ffrrtthe excellent performance. June draws near end we expect to graduate soon. We will be the second largest class to graduate from Breckenridge High School and the first class for some years pest to graduate in caps end gowns.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Three years ago about65 untemnd and beshful freshmen unroll- ed et Breckenridge High. The fears thet were thrust upon us by the upper classmen were found out to be mostly fakes,for initia- tion day proved to be quite a treat to the Bag Attired girls end the boys with Turned up Pantaloons . As the time rolled by we became more accustomed to city life so by the next spring we were quite able to enjoy a l� ;wn party riven in our honor, by the Sophomores, at Betty Caywood'a home. By the time we were sophomores moat of us had learned the fundamentals of football and many of us were always there, end since we had somerhat mastered the art of dancing, were present at most of the parties. In the spring we gave a party, in the gymnasium, in honor of the Freshmen. Kate Smith end Joe Penner were reily portrayed at this perty. Our number is considerably decreased this year, but we're still known by our culet and subdued voices. A Hallowe'en Maa- quarade Ball was given this year insteed of a J-Rop. From all the Pirates,Witches end clowns, Louise Hook, es a gey Pirate and Art- hur iLillbaugh, aa a big tine gambler , received awards for hav- ing the best costumes. Our class play One I'nd Night was given Feb. 23 in the auditorium. We are now looking forward into our Senior year, hoping to have lots of success and fun in our last year of school. —Louise Kuse JUNIOR COSTUME BALL The Junior Class sponsored one of the gayest parties of the year with their Hallowe'en Masquerade Ball. The high school gym took on a gloomy and spooky atmosphere with the aid of corn stalks, pumpkins, and various types of bones (bovine for the most pert). Jerry Corbett's orchestra furnished music for the dancing under the bright-colored lanterns which cast shadowy beems down on the costumed crowd. Prizes were awarded for the best and the funniest costumes and everyone took part in a confetti battle during intermission. The perty took the place of the usual J-Hop and it was voted a huge success by all who attended. 12 1st Row: Lola Lockhart, Gertrude Neitzke, Hazel Hopkins, Ruth Krrey, Forest Fuhnaan, Janet Doyle, Betty Howe, Morion SBlth, Lauretie Williams, Ira Sewrel. 2nd Row: Margaret Halstead, Maxine Beckett, Lulu Posey, Alberta Hoose, Adore Sanger,Miss Fllion, Meryl Green, Geraldine Den- ind, Jennie Woodard, Clara Sewrel, Lorraine Wearer, Irene McCarty. 3rd Row: Charles Gronda, Harry Colthrop, Hubert CouIson, Bill Klnwacher, Robert Greening, Stuart Koons, Warren Colllson, Russell Wood. 15 50PHOMOH CLASS HLSCORY In the fell of 1936 forty freshies entered at deer old B. H.S. but at the end of the year only thirty-four remained to be- come sophomores.

They were: Pres, Ruth Lrvay; Vice-Pres.,Lols Lock- hart; Trees., Lorraine Weaver; Sec., Robert Greening,and Janet Doyle as student council representative. For the second semester the following officers were chosen: Pres., Betty Howe; Vice-Pres. Charles Grondn; Trees., Janet Doyle; Sec., Marlon Smith and stu- dent council representative, Lois Lockhart. On the eve of the first football game our good friends dealt out to us a punishment commonly known as the initiation. It was very successful. May 14,1937 the sophomores gave us a party in the gymnasium. Games end dancing were enjoyed by all. The fall of 1937 brought twenty eight of the class back as sophomores. Several came into our class from Wheeler and several have left us for other schools. Officers had been chosen t£e year before. They were: Pres., Janet Doyle; Vice-Pres., Forrest Fuhrman; Treas., Betty Howe; Sec.,Ruth Ervay and student council representatives Lois Lockhart and Charles Gronda. September 24, 1937 we had the pleasure of initiating the freshmen. It was a grand day and the affair was very successful. We are all looking forward to another two years of studying and good times at B.H.S. Lois Lockhart ST. PATRICK'S DANCL The Class of '38 once again deviated from custom when they decided to forego the semi-formal Senior Prom in fevor of an in- formal affair for fun and frolic. A large crowd attendee, ana apparently enjoyed themselves fully. Contributing to the gaiety of the occasion, neper nache snow balls and carnival hats were distributed Just before inter- mission. Favors in the form of shamrocks with small clay pipes and hats attached were given to each guest at the door. The music committee proved themselves capable by securing Sid Allen's Orchestra for the occasion. 14 freshmen 1st Row: Elinor tfolffeng, Jean Lewis, Lileh Berry, Thomas Roth, Melba Oakes, Marjorie Gillis, Fanny Stewart, Grace Glinkie, Donabe1 Sawvel, Evelyn Randall. 2nd Row: Dorothy Jenkins, Thelma Gerber, Evelyn Adans, Rhea Cole- man, Lure Zinn, Ethel Wolfpanp, Mr. Wood, Bethel Wheeler, Shirley Enslick, Marjorie Clark, Alaine Moore, Mery Kapel, Helen Lucko. 3rd Row .

Precticelly two-thirds ofthe stu- dents ceme in from different rurel districts. In less than two weeks most of them had become adapted to their new environments. New friendships were made and all were becoming interested in the activities of the school. The first class election was held October 10th in the home room under the supervision of Mr. Wood, the class advisor. Rich- ard Hook was elected president; Melba Oakes, vice-president; Mar- jorie OiIlia.secretary; Thomas Roth,treasurer; and Fannie Stewart student council representative. It has been customary in the past years to initiate the Freshmen by having a flag rush, but this year it wo changed to a tug of war. This event was held September 29th in honor of the Breckonridge Homecoming. The Freshmen succeeded in pulling the Sophomores through the stream of water and therefore gave them a good shower bath. Two students, Betty Amon and Allen Lewis left our ranks dur- ing the first semester and at the beginning of the second sem- ester Robert Vine Joined us. llsny of the Freshmen pertioipeted in the F.F.A. Fair by put- ting ur exhibits of which several proved to be prize winners. With such a good beginning we look forward to a successful ending three years from now in good old B.H.S. -—Marjorie 01111s IN ARCADY This year the Glee Club revived the custom of presenting an operetta in the spring of the year to display the talents of the music deportment and to provide the only musical entertainment on the school calendar. In Arcady was selected for presentation and it proved to be e delightful comedy of a scientific farmer. Leading roles were sung by Louise Kuse and Richard Hook,supported by Kenneth Barton, Dorotha Darling,Malcolm Hilliard, Lois Lockhart, Richard Stewart, Carleton Kline, Lee Halstead, and Gerald Allen. The chorus was composed of Boys and Girls Glee Club members. Adding to the effectiveness of the story ws a complete set of scenery developed under the direction of Miss Ross and Mr. Swank. Our new amplification system was purchased Just in time to have its initial trial at this entertainment, and a vast im- provement was noted.

In March the Home Ec.Club sponsored a campaign to raise mon- ey for equipment for a girls' lounge, and the council helped sub- stantially in realizing this plan.

YEAR IN REVIEW Breckenridge lived up to her traditional good wusic depart raent when Miss Ross took over $6 students to mold them into sing ers. The Glee Club made their first appearance at the Agriculture Fair. The highlight of the yeer was the presentation of a musical play In Arcedy .

A few weeks later Stanley Bailey decided on a journalistic career, and was welcomed to the ranks. Several changes have taken place in the Tornado under this skillful staff. The paper is now printed on folded sheets stapled through the back, and the form is now two-column instead of one. Another worth while change is the increase in Column material, human Interest in the classrooms. With the publication of the 1938 edition of Blue and Gold, we enter a new field in year-book production. This is the first printed annual ever produced by this school. Exceptional re- ductions in cost because of the off-set method of printing, have enabled us to step-up into the printed annual class. The annual staff wishes to thank the classes and organiza- tions for their fine cooperation both in editing and financing the 1938 Blue and Oold.

Very little is known ebout the teem except thet the catching depertment will be well fortified. The pitching problem faced by Coech Hicks is the mein thing right no . Most of the other positions will be wide open reces. Breckenridge's hopes for the all-sports trophy rest with the baseball team end so all we can do is support the teem and hope B.H.S. cones thru in good style. The schedule is: St. Louis Chesening Ithaca St. Charles Shepherd Elsie Kenlock Riverdale TRACK Breckenridge has been noted for its unusually strong treck teams. This year offers no change. B.H.S. placed a good second last year and as only Quldort and Fookes of lest year's tear, will be missed, another well-belar.ced teen is expected. B.H.S. should show strength in the sprints, middle distances and the events. A track schedule has been arranged as follows: Central State Relays Triangulor-Hemlock, Merrill Regional Meet Triangular---St. Louis, Shepherd Conference Meet INTRA-MURAL The introduction of intramural noon hour snorts last year proved to be so successful and popular thet the program has been permanently adaed to the sports curriculum. For boys who aren't included on the varsity squads this noon hour diversion has given them a chance to show their ability. Coech Hicks has kept a sharp watch of these players and several of them were moved up to the squad. The sports included on this program are basketball and base- ball. There were five teams entered in the basketball league with the Freshmen A team coming out on top. Baseball is Just getting under way at this writing but quite a few teams are entered. GIRLS GYM A girls' gym class was organized for the second time in B.H. S., under the direction of Miss Filion and Mss I sham. This class Included girls from the ninth to the twelfth grade. They met every Tuesday ond Friday nights ofter school in the gym. The girls enjoyed basketball, bat bell, volley ball, dances, and mar- ches. Two games of basketball were played with Merrill and Breck- enridge lost both games. In the spring when weather permitted soft ball was Dlaved out of doors. 27 Boys who have won letters for sports end ere eligible for the B Club.
