DOROTHY SNODIDY ,IAMES GILCHRIST PAUL DTCCULLY ... JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY From the time we were Freshmen, we have been ever prom- inent in llerry l-Eorough High School affairs, therefore, the pride which we take in our class must he pardoned. One lovely September day in 123234, a new class entered the high school. Since we were just as green as most newcomers in secondary schools, we furnished the Seniors with much amuse- ment. llowever, our advisors, Miss Kist and Mr. Landis, helped us to overcome these amusing hahits. ln a few weeks we held a class meeting, at this time we chose blue and gold as our class colors, the yellow tea rose as our flower, and Semper Figlelisn as our motto. We elected as our president. Freddie Stimer, a very active nicmher ol' the class As we were determined to show the upper classmen that we had real talent in our class, both sections ousfnted niiustrel shows. Freshmen A presented Mrs Apple and ller t'orps g and Freshrnen R, The Black-Faced Minstrel. Although we did not provide feathers for these, everyone laughed heart 1 ly. tlur Sophomore year was not what most people would call active: however. there were several important events. For in- stance. this was the time that we bought our beautiful blue and gold class pins, which were our delight. Although our intentions were good, it ,just seemed as though we were attempting the im- possible when we triad to present a play for chapel. Our presi- dent, Walter 'l'ep3rer, was not to hlame for our inactivity this year, for he tilted all the runiirernents ot' a good president. This year was saddened hx the death ot' a friend and classmate, Wayne Shetller. 'l'o make up for this second phase of our high school THE 1937 DERRIAN czoi WALTER TICPPICR .. ILXILKY MILLS ......

McCuIly Cabsentl. careers, we promised ourselves that we would have a Junior year lilled with many important events. We have certainly kept this promise, for this has been the most successful period thus far. Being a very progressive class, we broke away from the tradition of having a boy as Junior pres- ident. Dorothy Snoddy has proved the ability of a girl as a class president, because she has helped us greatly in making this year a roaring success. The first event of great importance was the arrival of our class rings, which we consider the handsomest rings ever made. Our outstanding triumph, the presentation of the Junior Class Play, Dying to Live, was on January 15. This was a greater success than even we had dreamed of. Since our Junior boys had already gained such a good record in basketball, the girls also wanted to have a team. For boys our class had two basketball teams, which scored many victories over the other class teams. Although the girls' team was not quite so brilliant, they kept up a fair record. We sponsored two successful bake sales this year to help pay the expenses of our prom, which we shall en- deavor to make the best ever held in DQ1'1'y High School. Since we Juniors have accomplished so much, we are anticipating even more important achievements as Seniors. i215
