The SYLVAN junior Class Officers Raymond Fisher President l-larold Dickson Vice President William Portzer Secretary Paul Yeager Treasurer junior Class History ln the fall of 1936 seventy-five bewildered, green, and humble freshmen were ushered into the activity of Edgewood Senior I-ligh School. At the time of our arrival the most notable feature about us was our size-the largest class that had ever entered the high school. Some ol' us had Miss Ayers for our home-room teacher, while the rest of us reported to Mr. Glessner. At our first class meeting we elected William Davison for our president, joseph Reed for our vice-president, Paul Milligan for our secretary, and james McConnell for our treasurer. The main social event of our first year was the long-postponed Freshman-Senior Weiner Roast, which was held in Dickson Park. This affair made us feel that we had some little prestige QThe sopho- mores had made us understand that we were on the bottom of the school's social ladderj We presented the' class of '37 with flowers at Senior Dismissal the following spring in return for their kindness to us. Our sophomore year was by far the least adventurous in our history. Our officers for this year were as follows: president, Joseph Reed, vice-president, Richard l-lagyg secretary, Harold McConnell, and treasurer, Alexander Cadman. Aside from the Sophomore l-lop, the class as a whole participated in no out- standing event. l-lowever, we did have several members of our class on the football team, and we made a very good scholastic record. ln this, our junior year, we have been very busy-as all other juniors have been-only our class has been more so. With Raymond Fisher as president, Harold Dickson as vice-president, William Portzer as secretary, and Paul Yeager as treasurer, we have had a very successful year. Under the able direction of our class president, we broke all previous records in our magazine campaign, netting about 5280.00 profit. Then we selected and sent for our class rings, which finally arrived after many anxious weeks of waiting. l-low excited we were when they came! The rings were shiny gold with a black onyx setting, and everyone thought that they were very beautiful. The next duty of our class, and the greatest one, was the undertaking of the junior Prom. The class colors of black and red were selected, the orchestra, the refreshment, and the decoration committees were appointed, everything was taken care of to make our prom the biggest and best ever to be put on by any junior class in Edgewood High School We are now looking forward with great eagerness to our senior year-to the Washington trip, to the publication of the Sylvan, to the senior play, and to the graduation of one of the largest and finest classes that ever entered Edgewood I-ligh School. 25
