an .ii 4' 1 CLASS I-IISTCDRY In September, 1935, we entered Bridgeport High School as freshmen. As we prepare for graduation as the senior class of 1939, let us pause to review some of the events of our high school career. Our advisor for that first year was Miss Elsa Seibert. Under her super- vision we elected the following officers: President, Fred Amrine, Vice president, Roy Green, secretary-treasurer, Waneta Britton, and social chairman, Dorothy Morrow. Our class numbered about one hundred-sixty-four students. We chose the lilac for our class flower, and purple and white for the class colors. For our motto we selected It can be done. Following Miss Seibert's marriage, Miss Inskeep became our advisor in our sophomore year. Our officers were: president, Fred Amrine, vice president, Adrienne Hoover, secretary, David Marker, and treasurer, Mary Alice Paull. We sponsored several skating parties and also a class party, which everyone en- joyed. We were also quite active in school clubs, sports, and musical organiza- tions. The officers for the Junior year were: president, Fred Amrine, Vice- president, Orris Morgan, secretary, Eileen Stilwell, treasurer, Simon Tafian. The class play Lindy Lou, was given on February 4th, 1938. This was a three-act comedy under the capable direction of Mrs. Varnes. The cast in- cluded Madelyn Reynolds, Eileen Stilwell, Violet Hall, Julia Sinovich, Grace Shaw, Flo Jackson, Bill Fell, Kenneth Maxwell, Jack Charlton, Jim Porterfield and Ralph McAfee. The climax to our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom, for which we worked long and hard. It was given at the Eagles Hall on May 27th, and was quite a success. Our Senior year has been the happiest and busiest of all. The Sunnyhill has taken much of our time and effort. For we, like every other senior class have determined to make our book as good or better than its predecessors. The editor, Orris Morgan, and his two assistants, Jennie Gherasin and Eileen Stilwell, have directed the production, while Waneta Britton and Elmer Miekowski, as business managers and assistant, have taken care of the financial worries connected with it. Qur officers for this year have been: president, Fred Amrine, vice president, Joe Jingle, secretary, John Charlton, and treasurer, Simon Tafian. Our class play, Comin' thru the Rye , was presented on December 8th, 1938. The cast included several who had taken part in last year's play. It was directed by Mrs. Varnes. This year. also s-aw the organization of an active chapter of The National Honorary Society with a membership of seventeen. The Junior-Senior Prom and Alumni Banquet will be the last social ac- tivities of the year. After that come the Baccalaureate Sermon and Com- IYICIICCIYICIIIC. With this book, the record of our senior year, our class history, ends. How- ever, with each graduate will remain the memory of happy, busy days we spent as students of Bridgeport High.
