Out of it climbed thirty-seven wide-eyed boys and girls representing the freshman class for the coming s-eason. All were eager to examine the interior and exterior of their future home of learning. They trouped joyfully into the school, up the steps, and into the freshman home room, Soon they were settled and bent to the task of prapairing their lessons, The days rolled swiftly by during the course of which they elected class officers, namely, Armin Schroeder, presidentg Howard Schoenecker, vice presidentg and Gwen- doiymn Neff, secretary-treasurer, The class took part in many school and civic ewents, some of the important ones being the initiation by the sophomores, the freshman return party, and the annual Hallo4we'en festival where the class featured the Baer-Louis fight which won second place in the stunt. On the street the class was represented by the Potter City Band. .Soon May and springtime arrived and the schoolbell sounded, ending the school ses- sion for the season. At the curb waited the new bus of 1936, ready and willing to escort the retiring freshmen back to their homes for three short months of summer vacation. Toot! Toot! a loud horn sound-ed the arrival of the sphomores of the 1936-37 season. Not this time were the bus passengers rollicking and boisterous, but dignity prevailed especially over the lowly freshmen, one year our junior in high school experience. The sophomores set to Work with a will to master the difficult subjects. Again the class elected officers, who were: Merlin Ross, presidentg Lucille Michels, vicedpresidentg and Geraldine Novak, secretary-treasurer. ' Once again the class was entered in many activities. For the Ha.1Iowe'en festival Gtwendoyyn Neff was el-ected class queen bv the class and school queen by the Lions committee. On the stage the sophomores presented The Wedding of Augustus Pea- bean and Perlina Eggplant. For Christmas a huge sign bearing the words. Mero Christmas, and lighted by floodlights amid Christmas trees was put up to contest with the three other classes in the high school for an outdoor decorations prize which was offered by the Lions club. The sophomores took second place, The class this year as well as last year was well represented in band, glee club, pep club, sports, and forensics. LEON PRITZL

Some of the new freshmen seemed dazed, some seemed scared, some seemed happy, non-e of them knew what it was really all about. But it dldn't take them long to learn, no sir, not the members of this great class. The class soon held its election of oflicers with the results as follows: Howard Thiessen, president, Willard Knoespel, vice president, and Dorothy Kanter, secretanyf- treasurer, Initiation came and went with none of the class members showing any ill tftects from it. The regular affairs of the school year, such as Hallowe'en and the like, came and went as well, and, as expect-ed, the class came through with flying colors. 'Ihe next school year, 1935-36, came with its usual happiness and sadnessg mostly happiness on the parts of this year's sophomores. Class oflicers again were elected, this time Elroy Buboltz occupied the dignified position of president, Harold Nass, vice presidentg and Bernice Greve, secretary- treasurer. Th-e initiation was conducted in a highly organized manner. The class had a tins percentage of its number interested in extra-curricular activities, as it had the previous year. The class played its part as well in the events of the school year, although it probably could have fared better in the Halloween affair. Well, it seems the time just flew, and so this class again assembled in August, 1936, for the beginning of another school year, The class has its usual representation in forensics, basketball, and the like. Perhaps the most distinguished service that this class of '38 had thus far rendered the school and the community as well, has been in the form of a newspaper, The Brillionettef' published monthlly by the class. It is not the first attempt of a Class at publishing a. paper, but it is the first successful attempt. And so, as time passes on, the class hopes to continue its good work in behalf of the school, the community, and for the good of the class members, themselves, not only in school but in the world at large after the members of this class of '38 graduate.

Initiation was a mysterious affair. Of course, we freshmen wou1dn't admit it, but we were sick With fear, but it turned out to be a grand affair. We participated in the outdoor Christmas decoration contest and again we ran off with a prize.
