The Dedication TO Ol’R two faithful sjtonsors, Miss Eloise Thomas and Mr. Fred A. Krueger, we, the senior class of 1936, respectfully dedicate this publication in appreciation of their service to our class. For the past four years they have Iteen sponsors of the class of 1936; hut to call them sponsors is not enough; they have been friends and advisers to each member of the class. Their untiring effort has helped us to accomplish what would otherwise have been impossible. In our first year they gave us .lie right start; they helped us to get acquainted with school life. Through their encouragement we strove toward higher scholastic attainments, but more than that, they inspired us to take part not only in the regular class routine but also in extra-curricular activities, such as music, sports, and dramatics. When we started neglecting our studies, their friendly, helpful talks gave us encouragement. These little talks made us feel as though we couldn't fail; we just had to keep going forward, until in the end we reached success. In order to keep the class working as one. they helped us arrange little social parties so that each member of the class could learn to know the others. When the time came for the Junior-Senior From, they worked day and night making plans for the final social event of the year. With their efforts we were able to give the seniors a royal send-off. When the junior and senior plays came around they made us work. These events would have been failures if it were not for their inspiring us to do our best. Because of their help, we. the class of 1936, have been able to terminate four happy and successful years here at Leyden. We have enjoyed these four years under their leadership and it is with a fetling of regret as well as of joy that we are graduating. We feel as though we can hardly repay them for their guidance, but wv hope that this book will, in a way. show them our appreciation.

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!
