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.

“THE WARRIOR’ This social season we opened with a steak roast at Sollenberger’s. All preparations, with the exception of how to make a tough steak more tender, were taken care of. It was the first time we engaged in “steak ball.” We bid adieu to the evening amid the musical sound of Sophomore voices. Basketball season went by with no opportunity for playing since the new auditorium was being built. Besides the auditorium there were new additions being added to the school, a science and home economics room. No longer were we able to gossip uninterrupted in our classes, but we had to shout above the noises created by the P. W. A. Often we were puzzled over the problem of whether the new building was actually being constructed or the old building being torn down. We were made happy during the hunting season when school was closed while a heating system was being installed. Soon after school reopened a group picture of the high school students was taken; our faces were easily discernible since we forced our way into the front row. The first activity of the Dramatic Club was the production, “I Like Your Nerve,” starring William Lowry, Lee Hawkins and J'ane Gates of our class. Our class was also prominent in the activity of the Tri-Hi-Y and the debating team. Our debating team representative was Florence Snyder. We were also introduced to a new technique of class instruction, field trips and the collection of specimens for biology. Jack Hoover and Donald Gochenour were official snake catchers and still have not laid aside the official duties. The Everett High School faculty ran true to form when Miss Zelm i Clapper, the English instructor was married during the Christmas holidays. Her workl was taken over by Mrs. T. G. Will. We expected the boys to wear six guns on the day Everett High School was the victim of an Indian visit by Andrew Two Cities and Jo'1 Deerfoot. Surprisingly this attack was enjoyed since they presented an interesting demonstration of Indian dances and war implements. An enjoyable Sophomore Banquet was chaperoned by Mr. Richard Myers at the Royal Cafe. The first activity held in the new auditorium was the Junior Prom. Fortunately the popular radio band of Emil Valasco provided the music. It was a dance which will be long remembered. We closed with a spring picnic at the Willows where the entire class took part. Swimming, boating, singing made the picnic a pleasant one. Our new responsibilities seemed to bring the school year to a close entirely too soon.
