nf CLASS HISTORY WE, THE CLASS OF 1936, have nearly completed four successful and eventful years at the Elmira Free Academy. When we, inexperienced and queer freshmen, gazed with awe upon the big knowing seniors, we little realized that we, too, given time, might possess that same poise and self-assurance. Although we were practically without organized leadership during our first year, we were capably represented the next by the following officers: Iohn Hirst, president, Katherine Kinsman, vice-president, Phyllis Cole, secretaryg William Love, treasurer. In the third stage of our high school career, we again chose superior leaders: Daniel Coleman, president, assisted by Eleanor Chapel, Iessie hdould, and Emory Stoddard. Soon after, the president appointed William MacNamare to head the committee for the careful selection of the pattern of our jewelry, which would distinguish us as the Class of 1936. That year, for the Hrst time, the Iuniors agreed to hold their prom with the Seniors. This arrangement was so successful that it was decided to repeat it the following year. Iunior Day, the most important day of the year to us, found both boys and girls gaily decorated with flattering red and white ribbons. Returning in September, ready to cope with our Hnal and most difficult problems, we elected Walter Zimdahl, president, Iessie Motild, vice-president, Crooks, secretary, Arthur Burt, treasurer, to guide us along untried paths. They worked hard and so cooperated as to make our social activities outstanding. In early May, the animal Senior play, Three the inspiring direction of Mr. Colgan.

ARTHUR BURT Dear Clfzssmfltesi As President of the Class of IQ36, I have been accorded the privilege of writing in your behalf a message of farewell to our school, to each member of the faculty, and to the student body. Commencement draws near. It is a serious and memorable occasion for each of us. It rings down the curtain upon the most carefree, the most enjoyable, and the longest-tofbe-remembered chapter of our lives. The recollections of high school days will always be cherished, and it is with a touch of regret that we, the class of 1936, leave the Academy. The Academy guided, directed, and developed us these last four years. To her, we have incurred a life-long debt. Qpportunities have been accorded each of us. No one has been denied an equal opportunity to excel. The impressions made, the lessons learned, and the friendships gained here, will ever be a part of us. Yet, we must go on, for we must see life through and see it whole. Though we have Finished our academic studies, we realize education never ends. In nartinfr then ma f we fro on with liffhr hearts and o wen minds to face our urob- l rv ' 5 rv z-' l l lems, may we continue so that our lives, through their achievements, may ever reHect honor upon, and express gratitude and appreciation for our school, Elmira Free Academv.
