THE BELLEROPHON Senior History Class Colors ,Green and White Class Flower. . , . . White Rose Class Motto . . Higher, higher. step by step In September of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. a band of small boys and girls, swinging a book from a strap, trudged merrily on their way to school for the first time. There they were met by Miss Woodard who taught them the mysterious art of reading by which they were enabled to enter magical fairylands. Even in those days those small people began to display some talent and ability along different lines, ln the operetta Cinderella , a fourth year project, Naomi Mentzer, with her ruffles starched stiffly. displayed unusual musical talent. Can't you just picture in your memory Gayle Freck walking across the stage to have a blue ribbon pinned on the lapel of his coat when he won a prize for singing in an Eisteddfod during his sixth year. Well, it really hap- pened? By the time the eighth year was reached we had mastered enough knowle edge to make a good showing in the all-county tests. Of course you must remem- ber an episode that happened during that eighth year when Clifford Bell was asked to use the word cantaloupe and answered, My sister 'cantaloupe' this year. k After the bitter struggle of eight long years, twenty-three boys and twelve girls entered the portals of Tully-Convoy High School to venture forth in the realm of higher education. True to form we followed the natural trend of A'Freshies and made many mistakes which caused the faces of the haughty and digniiied upper-classmen to be wreathed in smiles quite frequently. But under the guidance of our capable instructors we soon proved to all that we weren't going to remain green Freshies . Velma Zinn and Naomi Mentzer, who made the basketball squad, represented us adequately. and Donald Dauler made a name for himself as center on the football squad. The next year saw us entered as Sophomores. one step higher in the attain- ment of that far off gleaming goal-graduation. Latin, geometry, and various other subjects caused us much anxiety, but we found time for the many school activities-Glee Clubs. Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and basketball. At last our hour for upholding tradition came, and long will the class of '36 remember its initia- tion which we administered without reserve. As Juniors, under the leadership of Miss Leslie. we sallied forth to make money by hook or crook for the Junior-Senior Banquet lquite the largest event of the year. Many were the hours we spent rivaling Nature by making such realistic flowers that only the sense of smell could give away. At any rate the Class of '34 survived the gala affair and seemed to like the evening spent in our Mistress Mary Garden . Besides all of the many activities in which we par- ticipated, we found time to win honors in a commercial test and to give a three- act comedy A Dollar Down which was a great success. At last our Senior year. the last lap in the attainment of that far off pending goal, arrived. With Clara Seslar as president. Gayle Freck as vice-president. and Myrna Wendel as secretary-treasurer, we have continued on our way and have given our best in all phases of school activities. No one will forget our presentae tion of the play Apple Blossom Time. Following Baccalaureate was Com- mencement. the culmination of our four long years of school life, and as we look back upon the smooth white road which we have trod, we regret that the time has come when we must part. Going forth to seek new unconquered fields. we shall take with us the memory of many happy days spent in Tully-Convoy School. -Eileen llfeclz. 18
