Out of the seeds which the Freshmen planted in the fall of 1935, only one sprout developed, the election of officers. Although very small, the plant soon adapted itself to its new surroundings, due to the fertility of the soil. However, by 1936-7, it was more firmly established, and during the year sent out deeper roots, gaining condidence with the passing of each successive month. This was proved by the election of the following officers: President- Elizabeth Podmajerskyg Vice-President-Donald' Smith, Secretary and Treas- urer-Hazlett Quackenbushg Faculty Advisor-Bernard Fasulo. This year too, a bud appeared, and eventually blossomed into a dance. But alas! the inevir- able pruning of the plant deprived us of several classmates, jacquelyn NVen1- ple, Mary Alice TenF.yck, XVilliam Spring, and Horace Ecker. The year of '37-'38, found the plant's appearance altered, but its efficiency not the slightest bit effected. It gave evidence of a new maturity by sending forth some of its hardiest tendrils. These consisted of the following: the elec- tion of class officers fPresident-Evajean Moore, Vice-President-Donal-l Smith, Secretary and Treasurer-Hazlett Quackenbushg Faculty Advisor- Bernard Fasuloj, a very successful ice-cream social, Junior-Senior picnic at Caroga Lake, and the purchase of class rings. The plant had grown to such strength that it required nourishment, and food was administered in the form of dues. In its seasonal pruning, it lost Ernest Traver, Elaine Young, and Gwaldys James. However, to take their place, new branches were grafted to the old stem. They were Dorothy Harris, Doris Phillips, Arnold Newkirk, Paul Moran, and Stephen Lopuch. Old and wise in the ways of the world, and fully grown, the roots of the plant have penetrated into many far recesses. The individualism of 1938-39 was expressed by the following officers: President-Donald Smith, Vice-Pres- Ident, Howard Bellowsg Secretary and Treasurer-Hazlett Quackenbushg Fac- ulty Advisor-llernard Fasulo. It acquired wealth and distinction by the following means: a round and square dance with music by The Four Aces, Cardpartyg an entertainment by Martha and Her Playboys: the production of the unique Senior play, Everybody's Crazy Now, which immediately as- sumed a place in the Hall of Fame: and the publishing of a distinguished year book. The only injury to the plant was the loss of one member, Evajean Moore, fortunately it gained two new branches, Ona Brooks, and Douglas Gruber. The plant steeped in wisdom, and now grown to full stature, is ready to send forth its seeds, with the hope that each will find fertile soil in which to develop and grow as successfully as it did. i Elizabeth Podmajersky C L A S H T R Y i939
