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
