THE CATLINEAN SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY In the fall of 1936 some thirty-five green but willing freshmen entered high school. We started our first year off by electing Joe Krttsick as President of our class, Don Newton, Vice-President, Marge Novaria, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Rousch, Class adviser. It didn't take us long to learn, and before we came back to old C. T. H. S. to begin our Sophomore year we were anything but green! With Mr. Brackney, Class advisor, Loyd Champion, Presidentg jim Miller, Secre- tary-Treasurerg and june Simmonds, Vice-President, we took an active part in all the school functions. Practically all the boys in our class were out for athletics and some were on the varsity squads. By the time we entered these doors for our Junior year there were many of us who were among the leaders of the school. We chose Russell Anderson, Presi- dentg June Simmonds, Secretary-Treasurerg Jim Miller, Vice-Presidentg and Miss Graham, Class adviser. We successfully produced a play, Lady Spitfire , and on the eighteenth of May we entertained the Seniors, faculty and last but not least, ourselves,, at the Wolford Hotel, at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Lois Hall and Hilda Church were responsible for the candy sales going so well and for the money this added to the receipts from the play. When we came back to school for our final year we decided, since this was to be our last year, we would all do our best to make it our most successful. VVe elected DeWitt junkerman, President 5 Jim Miller, Vice-President 5 Annabelle Jamison, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Thomas, Class adviser. There have been several students in our class who deserved special recognition and who did much to make our class a success during the four years in high school. Such people as Virginia Taylor and Marge Novaria, who were cheerleaders, jim Miller and Don Newton, co-captains of the football teamg Joe Krusick, captain of the basketball team, Jerry Newton, Secretary-Treasurer of the Athletic Association, Loyd Champion, President of the Athletic Association, Barbara Russell, Senior candi- date for carnival queen, june Simmonds, elected best citizen for the D. A. R. and editor-in-chief of the annual, The Catlinean, which our class very successfully published. The success of our play, Professor Pepp, was due to the combined efforts of the entire class, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Brautigam. We received our diplomas May 30, and said our final good-bye to Catlin High. We are sorry to leave, but are happy to say how much we have enjoyed our days at C. T. H. S. l Page Forty
