Class History September 3 1936 Dear Diary One hundred and nineteen other students and I entered Ellet High School today There were about 62 boys and 57 girls who came from Wlndemere and Ellet grade schools They were all good looking and eager to take over Ellet for themselves in the next four years This first day was very difficult and was spent in trying to un derstand school policies and to keep out of the way of upperclassmen Under the watchful eyes of these superior beings a group of tyrants who called themselves sophomores spent the day exhlbitmg freshman boys legs painted faces and reversed shirts September 3 1937 Dear Diary Its been a year since I last wrote an account of the school llfe here in Ellet Last year in 1936 we freshman did well for ourselves One of the boys in our ranks took top honors in the scholastic field Many of the boys and girls in our class received sport literary or activity letters during the year Today we sophomore boys fixed the new freshmen boys The usual ceremony of initiation was in effect throughout the day It felt swell to be giving instead of taking the punishment called lnitiation June 13 1939 Dear Diary tember when we shall come back as seniors Last year when we were sophomores we did our share in school activities Many of us had duties to perform in sports clubs and plays One high light of the year was the operetta Lady of the Blue Moon This year that has Just passed has been the biggest we have ever had Being Juniors we were entitled to buy class Jackets give a Junior dramatic club play and enterta1n the seniors at a banquet Our class flower is a dark red rose The class colors are black and red We ordered our class rings late in the second semester They will be delivered next fall June 13 1940 Dear Diary Our last year arrived sooner than we expected This last year was filled with work that made the few remaining, weeks short for most of us We staged a senior dramatic club play bought class pictures graduation an nouncements and formed a staff to put out the annual Elletlan Our prom was held at Silver Lake Country Club Today our commencement was held in the East High School auditorium where we received our diplomas We are now ready to ven ture into the world alone Tomorrow we return our maroon and white caps and gowns and our high school days will be over George Marmoff Class '40 Historian Page Fifteen I 3 ' .
