close, climaxed by the final exams. Our junior year was an inter- esting one in many ways. Some of the highlights of it were the jun- ior Truck Farm, the junior Prom, and the participation of our ath- letes in the many sports of the col- lege. The year started with the election of new ofiicers: Thomas Blewitt, Adam Rarig, Agnes Lynch, and Wilbur Wood. Ten members of our class were initiated into Kappa Delta Pi. In the second semester we held our never-to-be-forgotten 'junior Truck Farm dance. john Fern was the student in charge of this affair. As a dance it was an emi- nent success. The gym was beau- tifully decorated with corn stalks, pumpkins, crepe paper and witches Ma. Cufuuizs Vmima-rs cut out of paper. The whole ef- Cm Ad iW fect was one of charm and a Hal- lowe'en-like atmosphere. Everyone had a marvelous time. Our Prom was held on May 14. Buck Hill was again the scene of the event. A dinner dance was the order of the evening. john Fern again headed the committees, and the Prom was an enormous success. Back for our final year. What lay in store for us in this, our last year in college? Routine soon set in. Classes were scheduled, assemblies attended, and athletic contests won and lost. Our new officers were: president, Thomas Blewitt, vice-president, joseph Kulickg secretary, Loretta Roscoe, and treasurer, Wilbur Wood. The main topic for discussion this final year was, of course, the problems of the various student teachers. Many and varied they were. Humorous situations, near tragic ones, at least in the eyes of the teachers, and others of equal import to all of us. Busy days too, with so much work to be done and so little time to do it. The annual Senior Class Play was cancelled this year. However, we did sponsor a movie benefit, which was successful. Our Prom was held on April 29, again at Buck Hill Falls. Everyone agreed that it was a marvelous success. The chairmen for the Prom were Packy Conners and joe Miegoc. They did a commendable piece of work. With this event we topped ofi' four busy and successful college years. 25

lllll CLASS HISTIIHY Prerideazf .... . . .Thomas Blewitt Vive Preridezzf .. .... joseph Kulick Serrelary .... Loretta Roscoe Trea.fm'er .. .... Wilbur Wood Enrollment day at the East Stroudsburg State Teachers College held many thrills for us freshmen. We had dreams of athletic conquests, student activities, scholastic achievements, and many other things. How could we ever forget any of it! We jump to the second semester, leaving out the morbid details of regs, initia- tions, the Vigilance committee, and other unpleasant details. The members of the election committee informed us that we were to elect officers for the class. Immediately the campaigns for the various favorites started. After tabulations were over it was found that Paul Kennedy was elected president of the classg Thomas Blewitt, vice- presidentg Loretta Roscoe, secretary, and Wilbur Wood, treasurer. Our very able advisor was Dr. Frank P. Maguire, who aided the class in every venture it undertook for the rest of the semester. The class produced an original play, which met with much favor and approval in the college circles, written by George Bountres, one of our own classmates. Toward the close of the semester we prepared for our Freshman Dance. It was a dinner dance held at Pocono Manor. After the excitement of the Prom we settled down to some serious preparations for semester examinations. Everyone passed with Hying colors. On moving-up-day we moved up closer to the front of the auditorium. As we looked back at the seats we had occupied we envisaged the things that had passed, and finding much joy and pleasure in them, turned to view the future with expectancy. In the fall of 1936 we were back as a crew of dignified sophomores ready for work. Our first move as a class was to elect a new class advisor. Our former advisor, Dr. Maguire, had left us, having obtained another position. The class selected Mr. Vibberts, a very able advisor, as its official counselor. Mario Grippi, Adam Rarig, Marian Rhoads, and Wilbur Wood were elected as our class officers. The football season came, and several of our boys from the class participated in the varsity games, much to their own and the class's credit. Our Prom, a dinner dance, was held at Buck Hill Falls. Thomas Blewitt was chairman of the affair and was ably assisted by the various committees. After the Prom there was not much time left in the school year. Events moved rapidly to a 77
