SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FRESI-IMAN Our class organized as Freshmen on November 4, 1938. At this meeting Mr. Verner Shafer was chosen advisor, and the following staff of officers was elected: President, Calvin Dunckle, Vice President, Robert Gallop Secretary, Iune Shaulp Treasurer, Shirley Schreyerp Assistant Treasurer, William Fox. It was decided at that time that it would be wise to adopt the plan by which each Senior would bank ten cents a week to help finance our Senior trip. There were three outstanding social events which took place throughout the year, and all were successful. On Ianuary 21, a hike through the scenic Canajoharie Gorge was taken by the class and Mr. Shafer. Later on, Feb- ruary 23, marked the day when our Freshman caps arrived. We were the first class to introduce this novelty to the school. Another memorable event was a barn dance held on March 10. SOPHOMORE The second year started with the choosing of Mr. Douglas Ayres, Ir. for advisor and the electing of the following officers: President, Calvin Dunckle, Vice President, Ruth Whitney: Secretary, lean Zollerp Treasurer, Thomas Maclntyre. During the year, two dances were held, The Sophomore Hop being the most successful financially. IUNIOR We got off to a rousing start our Iunior year with the choice of Miss lean Pitcher as class advisor. The staff of officers chosen was: President, Russell Collins: Vice President, William MacBeanp Secretary, Iune Shaulp Treasurer, Robert Gallo. I In March, a Iunior Iamboree was held, which consisted of two one-act plays with other entertainment. Our Prom was held in April with Red Carino and his orchestra at the Fort, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. ssmon Our newly-acquired homeroom, 205, was the scene of our first Senior meeting. We elected: William Fox, President: Charles Iohnson, Vice President: Rosanne Faille, Corresponding Secretary: lean Zoller, Recording Secretary: and Calvin Dunckle, Treasurer. Time's Up , the Senior play, was ably directed by Mrs. Robert Brittain and held in November. It brought out a large amount of talent in our class. Later in February, the class sponsored the Cole Brothers' Circus. Due to the cooperation of the class and our advisors, it was a huge success. We are looking forward to the coming Senior Ball and New York trip. CLASS MOTTO: Excellentia est praemium laboris. KExcellence is the reward of laborl CLASS COLORS: Blue and White.
