 EBRUARY 6, 1929 saw the first organization of the illustrious class of January “32 whose members were drawn mainly from Nottingham. Longfellow. East Clark. Brett Memorial, Memorial. Patrick Henry. St. Jerome, and St. Joseph. Sophomores! Bullied as we were by over-bearing seniors we were nevertheless alive in school affairs. W e were ably represented in the operetta, “Pickles,” by Herbert Hiss. Don Motter. Elynor Eirons. and Ruth Tyler. Jean W'ilks was awarded a gold pin in the Cleveland Music Memory Contest for having a perfect paper. In the 10A. a stunt party was held in which each homeroom was represented by an original skit. The prize was won by the 10A5’s who presented the Whoopee Makers. Again in the 10A our class scored in the Thirteenth Chair.” a senior play in which Robert Webster had a leading role. Juniors!! As juniors we blossomed out giving promising signs of our greatness. not unfulfilled as seniors. In the operetta Bells of Beaujolis,” Ruth Tyler had a leading part and many others were members of the chorus. Esta Casterline won a spelling contest making her the champion speller of Collinwood.

Our first important accomplishment as seniors was the organization of our class. Carl Hertel easily won the office of president and Richard Mericle. Dorothy Dietz, and Walter Werner were elected vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. A ring committee was selected with Hazel Brindley as chairman. That this committee was efficient is proved by the fact that our rings arc the ones to 1)C selected as the standard ring. The 12A class gave us a dance which was a huge success; so towards the end of the semester we repaid them with a dance, equally successful. Our basketball team succeeded in winning two out of three basket-ball games from the 12A’s— no mean victory. Our 12B Prom was a social success and the proverbial good time was had by all. Jean Wilks, Amelia Mervar. Josephine Modic, Nelson Gregory, Negley Cochran, and Dorothy Ott were received into the National Honor Society making a total of fifteen members of our class in the society. When we returned to school in September as 12A’s our first duty was the re-organizing of the hall guard system. We congratulate ourselves that it has been more efficient and cooperative due to our efforts. Our first social enterprise was the giving of a dance for the 12B’s. The 12A Prom is an event we will always remember. It marked the formal closing of our high school social activities.
