Senior History Back in the Fall of 1926 fifteen of our present class started their edu- cation. They were, namely, Mary Ann Alexander, Isabelle Harris, Helen Huette, Mary J. Merrill, Perry Munz, Marion Ramsey, Ersoll Runyon, Martha Steers, at the Edison School; Helen Beckley, Margaret Combes, John Nussbaum, James Sterns, Louise Tipton, Virgil Troehler, and I.loyd Zimmerman, at the Isaac Walton. During the eight years of our grade school education many class- mates came and went. At the time of graduation, there were forty-nine in the class, twenty-three of whom are in our present class. In the Fall of 1934, as freshmen at the F. T. H. S., we were joined by graduates from the country schools, making an enrollment of sixty. During our first year many boys entered in football, basketball, and track. A number of students entered into dramatics, glee club, band. Joseph Vance transferred from Pontiac. Class officers were: Marion Ramsey, President; Ross Dickson, Vice-President; Arnold Rigsby, Secretary; and Helen Huette, Treasurer. Upon returning to school the second year we took a more prominent part in school life. We again took part in sports, glee club, dramatics, band, and the many newly-formed organizations in the school. Our class was enlarged by the enrollment of Betty Smith from Cheyenne, Wyoming, James Grubbs from Piper City, Richard Atteberry from Pontiac, and Mary Ann Alexander from Bloomington. |k In our Junior year we found more opportunity for activities and social interest. There were several athletes in our class who were out- standing in their particular sport. Our play, “Ghost Bird,” a comedy mystery, presented by twelve of us, went over in great style. On April 1 we observed traditional Bum’s Day and entertained the assembly. Other activities in which we entered included: commercial teams, dramatics, and an active part in our much improved Music Department. However, the biggest event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom, enlivened by a circus background. We were glad to have Irma Eichelberger from Bloomington, and Leonard and Margie Sidfrids from Strawn, enter our class. Class officers were: Mary Ann Alexander. President; Glen Moore, Vice-President; Helen Huette, Secretary; Margaret Rathbun, Treasurer. Now we have reached the end of our secondary education. Although we look forward to graduation, we feel a certain sadness in leaving. In our opinion our biggest accomplishment of the year is the publication of the fourth annual Crier. We are now looking forward to our play. “Nothing But the Truth,” commercial and music contests, Junior-Senior Prom, and, finally, graduation. Class officers are: Mary Ann Alexander, President; Robert Paternoster, Vice-President; Margaret Rathbun, Sec- retary; and Elmer Hallock, Treasurer. The Crier » 1938 Fifteen
