September 2 6 10 1937—FRESHMAN YEAR—1938 August 30 Forty-seven stray, bewildered students anchored their ship on the steps of East Berlin High School. When we reached the end of the corridor, we stopped. Down the hall came what we thought to be a teacher, but we soon learned that he was not only a teacher but the supervising principal, Mr. E. M. Gruver. Mr. R. G. Eustice was appointed as our sponsor. The rest of the faculty included Mr. W. E. Black, supervisor of music and teacher of history, Mr. J. W. Bankert, mathematics and boys' physical education, Mr. S. W. Mosier, vocational agriculture. Miss Ianthe Smith, English and dramatics. Miss Margaret M. Leas, commercial subjects. Mr. Eustice taught English I, general science, biology, history and girls' physical education; Mr. Gruver, chemistry. Physics and German. Teachers' Institute. This gave us two days' vacation, after only three days of school. Labor Day. We didn't labor—another day's vacation. What a life! The responsibility of school work was too heavy for the light brain of Sterling Bixler—Gone but not forgotten! We held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: president, Alma Danner; vice-president, Paul Lerew; secretary, Richard Behler; assistant secretary, Ethelyn Gep- hart; treasurer. Charles Spangler; historian, Dorothy Leib. 17 Myrna Miller decided she liked housekeeping better than school work—forty-five remain. 18 Hazel Shultz enrolled in our class because of the Compulsory Attendance Law —but not for long.—back to forty-six. 21 Elizabeth Breeden, a West York Hi student, decided to try E. B. H. S. Glad to have you, Libby! 23 Harris Horn entered the class from Phineas Davis Junior High School, York—now there are forty-eight. 24 We received our initiation at a wiener roast, with the seniors as our hosts. We had a swell time! 27 David Hoover didn't like school, so he stayed at his home in Paradise. October 5 Many of our classmates attended the York Fair. Despite the rain and cold weather, we had a fine time. 11 Ethel Galloway moved to Maryland—class-roll going down. 26 Dorothy Leib, Alma Danner and Harold Shetter attended the York-Adams Press Conference at Wrights ville. 29 The Sophomores entertained us at a Hallowe’en party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Krall in Washington township. December 3 We presented our first Assembly Program. Everybody said we did a swell job. January 7 George Hale dropped from the freshmen deck. 25 We elected the following officers for the second semester: president, Paul Lerew; vice-president, Charles Weigle; secre- tary, Alma Danner; assistant secretary, Earl Wrights; treasurer. |iiiil||||iiiiiq|iiin I» -,n hi Page Fourteen
