THE MICROPHONE Published under the direction of the Officers of the Senior Class, May 16, 1935 John P: Wheelihan President Leo A. Billey ...Vice President Margery St. John Secretary-Treasurer Our purpose in issuing this paper is that it may serve as a chronicle not only of the activities of the members of the class of 1935, but to some extent of the entire high school as well. We believe that it will prove interesting reading to every loyal stu- dent who aspires to become a graduate of Ellendale High School. Our second aim is to produce a fitting souvenir of our high school days. For those of us who are graduating, our sojourn in high school will soon be but a memory. A perusal of the pages of this little pamphlet will help revive those memories and keep them ever fresh. Our Board of Education and Faculty BOARD OF EDUCATION A. R. Amphlett President V. D.

If you are inclined to doubt this just listen to these words of wisdom and you will soon know the deep, deep secrets of the class of ’35. We began as Freshmen, fresh from the eighth grade and some of us fresh from the country. We were a happy-go-lucky bunch and our studies were light. We learned the rules of the school and the spirit of the high school was instilled in us. The Freshman year will long be remembered for that was the year in which we first met many of those who are today our classmates. The next year we were Sophomores and that we thought was swell as we were now in Senior High School. But it didn’t turn out so nice; because while we were Sophomores we were looked down upon and treated as a sort of necessary evil. Despite all our imagined abuse in the Sophomore year it was in that year that we began to understand and really appreciate the high school.

IN RETROSPECT (Concluded from Page 2) As Juniors we began to have a little more in- fluence. We were more serious and studied harder. The special talent we had in our class became noticed. Some of the boys made the athletic teams and the girls distinguished themselves in music and acting, the finer arts as it were. Some of the boys were now excellent carpenters and the girls all knew the proper way to decorate and care for a house. Now came the year ' 35 and we are mighty Seniors! We walk now with a measured, military tread and when we talk we nod our heads in the wisest manner. Of course the teachers cannot notice any great change in our class work even though we are so mighty. This being the last is of course the best year, but being the last it also brings us regrets. As school closes we will separate and each one go his own way. We will meet again in twos and threes but it is doubtful whether we will all ever be together again. So let us make the most of what is left of this year and take with us only happy memories. PAGE 4 1935 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum, 2017
