I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of '37, entered high school on September 2, 1933, very meek and excited. We were not noticed except in regard to our green actions until we were seen sporting the sophs' ideas of initiation. We took it and we could have stood more. We returned their reception by asking them to a Hallowe'en party at a barn on a frosty night. We froze and so did the party. However, we asked them to an- other school party which really hit the spot. We were happy to win the literary contest. And as a contribution to the school We gave a hall tree for use in the office. We ended our first year with a farewell party on the beach. September, 1934. Here we were sophs-we were all set to be straight through our sopho- more year. First, we attempted tanning and initiating the freshies. What a job! They were unusually fresh. But we accepted their invitation to a return party. As an example for them, we frequently patronized our new institution, the detention hall. We held a num- ber of class parties during the year, and be- came well acquainted. We would have put over the school picnic all right-if rain hadn't interfered. September, 1935. Juniors already! We thought we knew all about high school, but redecorating got us a bit confused. Classes skipped about from room to room to make way for the plasterers, the painters and the Var- nishers. And the library never did get back to its original room. When they finally got the pictures hung again and Miss Black got her India print on the wall, we began to feel more natural-and we were much cleaner and brighter. We chose our motto, At the foot- hills, climbing . And from the very beginning of the year we worked at our task of earning money. We sponsored many bake sales, a few parties. and a box social so that by May 14th we were able to give the Seniors a grand re- ception at Hunters' Lodge. With our one big event well accomplished we ended our junior year, all prepared to accept the honor, sen- iors .

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We do not wish you to think of our class history as just a collection of dates and events which have happened throughout the four years, and are written on a single page in our year book. Think of it rather as a book itself filled with notes hastily scrawled on yellow tablet paper: old programs from plays, operettas, and dances, and bits of compositions on Macbeth or Abraham Lincoln. For these make a class history. When our memory of the days at Fairview High grows slightly dim, we can take out an old 1936 Challenge, and with the aid of the names and pictures, memories will come rush- ing back-memories of a certain hard-earned fgotball victory, of the time a Senior girl spill- ed on some one at a football banquet, of the time you got kicked out of class, of a cer- tain dance or a moonlight strollg of Com1nence-- ment night when we marched, rather frighten- ed, up the aisle-and of all the other things which might seem trivial to other people, but which are so important to us. Perhaps some folks may say we have not ac- complished anything remarkable in our four years here, although we have had our own little triumphs on the athletic field, in the classroom, in the auditorium. But what we have not ac- complished in material things, we have more than made up for in things which are more val- uable than any earthly treasure-our friend- ships and our feeling of good-will toward each other. After all, it is this friendship which made our high school life what we will ever remem- ber-this was high school.

The officers elected were: Arlene Anderson, President, Russell Bogart, Vice-President: Phil Baskin, Secretary, and Betty Walker, Treasurer. Quick- ly overthrowing the effects of the initiation given by the sophomores to dampen our spirits. we gave a Hallowelen party in their honor. With characteristic initiative fahemlj we set to work choosing our class colors, a pennant, and a motto. The appropriate saying, t'Out of the harbor into deep channels , was written on our blue and gold pennant. Our literary ability was proved when we emerged as victors in the annual literary contest. To fill our coffers, we staged a series of skating parties which were very successful. During the second semester, we did settle down to serious study, and we were well rewarded by the scholarship plaque. In preparation for our' sophomore year, we chose as class officers: Marcella Hippelli, Pres- ident, Irwin Fall. Vice-Presidentg Phil Baskin, Secretaryg and Kenneth Osterburg, Treasurer. When we first appeared in school as sopho- mores, we were admittedly both larger and wiserg and gravely we viewed the task that was before us-the education, or initiation, of the green freshies. They, like good sports, in- vited us to attend their Hallowe'en party. Soon December appeared on the calendar, and with it came the literary contest. We almost re- peated the conquest of the year before, but by a very minute margin the seniors denied us that privilege. Time seemed to fly, and here it is the month of May. For the third time, we have elected officers. Those who will serve us during our junior year are: Phil Baskin, President, Alton Skelley, Vice-President: Eliz- abeth Muller, Secretaryg and Doris Pieper, Treasurer. It is with a feeling of sadness that We look back on our first two high school years. Our tasks were fewg our enjoyment greatg and we 1'eceived a good share of the honors to be had. We look forward with eagerness and joyful anticipation. We hope to set down in the annals of our class many colorful achievements,
