i i PETER BERCIA .... HELEN STIFFLER.. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ln the early part of September, 1936, the Freshman class be- came a part of the student body of Derry Borough High School. VVe were welcomed by our principal, ou1' teachers, and our upper- classmen. The class nziving been divided into two groups, everyone be- came earnestly engaged in an interesting schedule, which we had planned at the closing of last year's term. lt consisted of two new subjects, Latin and Vivil Government, as well as a continua- tion ol' science and English. There was also a more advanced form of mathematics, known to most high school students as algebra. In the early part of our iirst semester in high school we elected a dependable group of class officers, which included the following pupils: Howard Fritz, presidentg Bob Walters, vice pres- Edward Mowry, secretaryg and identg Peter liercia, treasurerg to the Student Council. At the same time as the election of the class oflicers, we decided on class llelen Stifller, representative colors and a class flower. Crimson and gold were the colors most pupils had selected as their favorites, and the American Beauty Rose was unanimously chosen by us as our class flower. THE 1937 DERRIAN 1245 HOWARD FRITZ ....

Both the boys and the girls had basketball teams. With such players as George Toth, Boyd Baughmzui and Glenn Pryce our class had great hopes for the boy's team. Mari- an Kolb, Andrea Heacox and Marian Strupp upheld the reputa- of the girl's team. Many of the Sophomore boys helped make up our football squad, and many of our girls were members of the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. The officers for our Sophomore year have been: President, Howard Allison, vice president, Glenn Pryceg treasurer, Thomas Henryg and Student Council representative, Jim Humphreys. By doing our best at all times, we hope to keep up our march through high school and enjoy our studies together with our extra- classroom activities. 4235

This being our first year in high school, we have not, as yet, presented any chapel programs or entertainments. Q We have in our group pupils who are interested in music, and many Freshmen pupils are in the Girls' Chorus and Boys' Chorusg others are in the high school orchestra. Among our boys we have found some very enthusiastic ath- letes. Some of the larger boys played football and, as beginners, did very well. A number of other boys became interested in basketballg some, besides helping their class team, made the Junior Varsity team. Our girls, not wanting to be surpassed by the boys, have started a basketball team of their owng they, however, have not met with as much success as their fellow-classmates, the boys. Although we have not made what could be called a brilliant beginning, we feel sure that, in the three remaining years, we shall have ample opportunity to show what we are capable of doing. 1257
