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,

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 .

FRESHM'AN CLASS HISTORY Thirty-four of us entered our new alma mater very eagerly yet very, very quietly in the fall of 1935. Since then, the members of our class have come and gone until we have only twenty-eight left. Gloria Herbol served as class chairman for the first few weeks-un- til we got better acquainted with each other- and then we elected these class officers: Sylvia Rubin, Presidentg Ralph McCray, Vice-Presi- dentg and Richard Cassell, Secretary-Treasur- er. The last named officer soon departed to fill a bigger office-that of husband-and we elected Marcia Cochran, Secretary, and Gloria Herbol, Treasurer, in his place. We had to take it and grin when the sopho- mores entered their second childhood and start- ed to play initiation. The comedy lasted only one day, however, followed by a party which put us in pretty low spirits. We recovered gradually and were able to repay the sopho- mores for their trouble with the usual Hallow- e'en party. As a class motto we selected Not on the heights, but climbingng and our class colo1's a1'e blue and silver. As freshmen we are too modest, of course, to claim any wonder- ful or startling achievements so far. But un- der the leadership of cur officers for the Sopho- more year-Marcia Cochran, Gladys Baur, Oliver Place and Sylvia Rubin-we are look- ing- forward to the future. We sincerely hope that all our members will return to help us make our contribution to Fairview High a val- uable and lasting one.
