Cliairnzun Ikviuu Si'Ai.'rY KENNETH l3AcoN JUNE STIZVIQNSUN Trfasurzr Preridfnl Sfcrfiary 1 IOR CLASS OFFICERS lfarly one September morning in 1937 an eager crowd of grammar school Hedglings, clutching pencils and bookbags, entered the University Annex and spent panic-stricken moments searching for homerooms in what then seemed a vast domain. These timid souls were the future knights of 19-11 beginning their apprenticeship at East High School under the supervision of Mr. Harris. During this hrst year, they zealously applied themselves to their books, for the thrill and glamor of high school had not yet worn off. Several times lofty seniors, inhabitants of another planet, descended upon these freshmen to sell tickets to the Frolics. 1n June Miss Bassett and Mr. lVlerrell came to explain the courses which were olfered to sophomores. Aside from these, connections with the main building were few. ln September, 1938, a crowd of less eager, more worldly students approached the portals of the liast High School on Alexander Street. Gone were the bookbags ofthe freshman days. They were sophomores now pages to the senior knights. For the first time the Roman State, the Science Club, and the Modern Language Clubs assumed a tangible meaning, for these progressive students began to enlarge their horizons through extra-curricular activities. The Constitutional Convention, the Frolics of 1938, and the choir soon discovered the latent talents in the Class of 1941. 'Way back in 1939, A.D., the Class of 19-11, ascending one step toward knighthood as Squires, made history by organizing a junior class. The proud ollicers were: Ellen Maier, president: lietty Pearson, vice-president: Gladys Reinhardt, secretary, Anita Sheldon, treasurer, and Robert Pearson, social chairman. Miss 0'Neil and Mr. lVlcKie were wisely chosen as advisers. Under these able ollicials a junior party was planned, and a gala aH'air it wasfsocial dancing, square dancing, a jitterbug contest, singing, a variety show, ping pong, and refreshments. Nineteen thirty-nine also marks the return ofa student government, and in this democratic organization many juniors were prominent. 12
