THE WARRIOR’ A Senior’s Four Year Calendar Four years ago there entered into a SIX room Everett High School a group of eighty-three “green froshies,” the largest class to have ever entered the High School. One could distinguish us anywhere for we were easily recognizable by our color. Necessity caused us to be divided into two separate groups; those who banded together for protection and those who looked like fugitives from upper classmen justice. It was difficult for us to get complete cooperation since we had entered on a new plan of social life; formerly we often had eight grades in one room, now we had one grade in three rooms. We were forever like the proverbial bull in a china shop getting into the right room at the wrong time. Finally getting into the right room at the right time, we elected Betty Hershberger, Norma Jackson, and Albert Hess class officers. Our teachers were all new to us and included Supervising Principal Mr. Shappell, Mr. Heil, the boys’ home room teacher, Mr. Knepp, Miss Zimmerman, Miss Howe, Miss Clapper and Miss Goff, the girls’ home room teacher. The opening event of the season was a Halloween party held in the Stuckey Auditorium in November. The party introduced us to the horror chamber, witches, clowns, and a new social life. This year we were also introduced to a game new to most of us, basketball. This was also our first opportunity to meet basketball heroes and heroines. Names such as Hess, Bruening, Connelly, Jackson and Foor were prominent. Kitty Perrin was the only class representative on either team. How many remember the mystery of the lost lunches and how it took some super sleuthing with a baited lunch to catch the culprit? Why was a lunch specially prepared for Lee Hawkins ? • Another new experience was the Junior Prom held in May allowing us to catch glimpses of the “correct social etiquette.” We were so impressed by the green that we presented our successors with a mirror to become acquainted with their color. Among the few organizations sponsored by the High School, we were represented on the Parrot staff by Evelyn Perrin. At last June arrived with move up day; we left the foolish stage to become “wise fools,”—Sophomores, you fool. We returned for the new year and our enrollment had dropped to sixty-seven. Our home room teachers had changed, Mr. Myers guiding the boys and Miss Howe the girls. Among the new faces on the faculty were Mr. Myers, Miss Walter, and Miss Clevenger. We quickly organized our class and elected Quentin Myers, Norma Jackson, Ann Rinedollar and Evelyn Andrews as class officers.
