LllIl0NOLOGY VOLUME I In September, 1936, we entered the high school as freshmen. Everything was strange to us, and we were strange to those who were already there. We made the usual freshman errors in finding rooms, and occasionally provoked a laugh when we addressed a teacher by the wrong name. It was not long until We overcame the blush of youth, and settled down to some serious work. We discovered several activities in which we could take part, and gradually we became a known quantity in the life of the school. Some of us found places imme- diately in the band and in the orchestra. Others began a career of journalism on the Crimson and Gold Staff. We were not very active in varsity sports, because freshmen seldom are. We organized as a class, and elected Leonard Diana, presidentg Gladys M. Albright, vice-president, Dorothy Miller, secretary, and Heinz Steifan, treasurer. The Library had been enlarged before we arrived in school. Wonder whether it was done to accommodate us. During this year the dramatic club produced The Family Upstairs , and the Glee Club offered The Shephcrd's Vision , While the Orchestra and Glee Club later entertained us with the Lucky Jade. In the fall of the year, Mr. Smith assumed his duties as Principal, and seven new teachers were added to the faculty. We ended the year with a party where we were tolerated by the sophomores, and then we were ready for vacation time. VOLUME II During our sophomore year, we became more active in school life, and saw many more events which were to go down in the history of C. H. S. Leonard Diana was reelected president, Dorothy Miller, vice-president, Gloria Duerst, secretaryg and Heinz Steffan again served as treasurer. The greatest event of the year was the dedication of the Glatfelter Memorial Field. We still remember those days of marching practice in preparation for the dedication parade on Armistice Day. We saw many new things this year, which none of the other classes had ever witnessed, such as the Girl Reserves marching unit, new band uniforms, and night football. Then we entered into more activities, such as the Junior Rotary Club, track, tennis, the Crimson and Gold, orchestra, band, scarab club, library assistants, cheer leading, basketball, and the dramatic club. This year also gave us the dramatic club's play Jonesy , and the operetta Tune In. We received our class pennants and emblems, held a party at which WE tolerated the freshmen. After examinations, some. of us attended the first open air Commencement exer- cises at Glatfelter Field. Half of our high school days had now passed. VOLUME III In 1938 We were eager to return to school and take our part in school affairs. We now had prestige. Then too, all through vacation we heard about the Pageant of Heritage , in which we were to participate. Our class became champion salesmen, for which we received a silver cup in the medal and program sales campaign. Leonard Diana, Heinz Steffan, and Dorothy Miller were again elected to their offices of last year, and Dorothy Aulthouse became our secretary. Mr. Bollinger, who had been our class adviser all along, helped us to select our rings and pins. Now we became active in nearly all school organizations and clubs, such as the band, orchestra, glee club, the scarab club, the girl reserves, library assistants, the Crimson and Gold, cheer leading, football, track, tennis, basketball, and the dramatic club. Parades have seemed to be a feature of our school career, because during this year we helped to organize a monster demonstration to show the need for some addi- tional space in our school plant. We paraded, influenced public opinion, and paraded again to celebrate the victory when the bond issue won at the voting polls. The all-district orchestra met at Columbia High School and gave our town a musical treat which will be remembered for a long time. Some of urs played in the group, and then added the event in our memory books as another first in our school life. Many pleasant events came to us.-The Girl Reserve dances, Broken Dishes, Don Alonso's Treasure, and the C. H. S. Swing Band. The crowning event was the Junior-Senior Prom. Here we entertained the seniors, who were soon to leave our school, and relinquish their position to us. We were now ready to take over these responsibilities which were theirs, and felt that a few short months of vacation would lie between us and our last year of high school. VOLUME IV 1939! Seniors at last! That year for which we worked and planned, was upon us. Events which we would never forget unfolded themselves before us almost daily. Leonard Diana, Heinz Steifan, and Dorothy Aulthouse again resumed their oflices of last year, and Hazel Fornoif became our class vice-president. -22-
