JUIIB Class Df IQS4 VVondering, wondering came we, the class of 1934, into East High School. This large building was strange to us. It was filled with older and more experienced students than we, students that we thought were almost learned enough to be teachers. Could we work in the same school with them? Doubts came to our minds. We were not sure. However, we were anxious to try and took our place as freshmen. This grade did not seem lowly to us, for were we not in high school and numbered among the pupils? Next year we became sophs. We then thought ourselves important, and felt sorry for the poor freshmen and sometimes even despised them. Yet we feared to enter whole-heartedly into the activities of the school. VVe were still uncertaing the knowledge of the upper classmen still held us back. The following fall we entered upon our junior year. Our class took on a slight form of organization. A few of our members secured berths on the athletic teams. This year was for many, the happiest. VVe felt entirely at ease and had no disturbing thoughts about graduation. The year 1934 came and we were seniors. It was a victorious season for our athletics. The many separate members of the class were united and all worked for a common cause. Our views had changed considerably since we were freshmeng we began to think more deeply of the really serious things of life. During this period we acquired a true appreciation of our high school education and learned its value, but we also recognized- its incompleteness. Now some of us will be fortunate enough to continue our learning in collegeg others will continue it in the school of life. Robert Pfadt -4 27
