History of Class of 1936 THE SENIOR class takes pleasure in having the men they consider the ablest historians of our day, the Editors of Time, present the class history—From the March of Time! September, 1932—Late this month after nearly four weeks of school, the 131 members of the freshman class organized, electing Le Roy Jackson, president, Maysel Rasmussen, vice-president, Kenneth I loehammer, secretary. and Doris Good, treasurer . . . . December, 1933—Marking its first social event, Leyden High’s Class of ’36, now under the leadership of Robert Gauron, assisted by Valene Blume and Faith Swenson, sponsored the traditional sophomore Christmas party. It has been reported by fairly reliable sources that Santa Claus and mistletoe were present .... May. 1935—In a snow covered winter wonder-land the junior class of Leyden feted the departing seniors with the annual “Prom.” This event climaxed an eventful year first, the election with Robert Gauron, Dolores Kierig, Carol Bayless, and June .Parrish emerging as victors; and then the junior play, “The Whole Town’s Talking.” (Editor’s note: It was) September, 1935—The senior class of Leyden again indulged in politics, the spoils this time going to Robert Gauron, Donald Hackett, June Parrish, and Peter Simon .... June, 1936—In a suburb of Chicago this week, assembled on the local athletic field are the 74 graduates of Leyden Community High School. For the first time in the history of the school the guest speaker has been done away with; in his place are five student speakers discussing the modern high school in its five major aspects. As this student planned and executed commencement exercise draws to a close, the slow solemn strains of the recessional are replaced with a new tempo, the quick, ever increasing tempo of modern life, and TIME MARCHES ON!
