SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1935, we the Class of '39 began our high school career. When the initial meeting was held for organization of our class, 349 green freshmen clamored in and chose Warren Brown to guide the class through its first year. John Mills was elected vice-president and Nick Levanti, secretary-treasurer. For our attendant to the football queen we chose Dorothy Lewis. Mr. Eadie and Miss Gloyd were our choice for sponsors. A year later we came back as silly sophomores and again in our organization meeting chose Warren Brown to lead us through the year. Ed Mehok and Loren Foster were chosen vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. Marcia Palmer and Gladys Starkey were our choice for football queen attendants and Miss Webb and Mr. Ely our advisors. We were so pleased with our leaders of the year before that we, as jolly juniors chose Miss Webb and Mr. Ely our sponsors and Warren Brown as president of our class. For vice-president we selected Steve Bernhard and secretary, Georgiana Connor. Doris Purcell was our choice for treasurer. We presented a mystery play The Ninth Guest. At the end of this year the student body elected Warren Brown, Student Body President. Marcia Palmer was named maid-of-honor to the Queen and Cecile Cole lady-in-waiting. At the first meeting of our last year we again found Warren Brown at the helm. For vice-president we chose Steve Bernhard and secretary, Mike Spontak. Our class treasurer was Dante Patterozzi. We selected Marcia Palmer as Queen and Virginia Thomas our lady-in-waiting. ”320 College Avenue, our play, was a big hit and Miss Hoye and Mr. Chenoweth were our guiding sponsors of the year. Our outstanding athletes were Steve Bernhard, Dante Patterozzi, Ed Migliech, Roy Todroff, Andy Patterson, Bob Newton, Earle Alexander, Mike Dynis, Ed Gos-cinski, Ed Mehok, Don Howell, Conrad Holt and Andy Swinkunis. 18 THE REDBIRD

and the entire membership assisted with the ticket sales. In fact, so great was the class spirit that the house for the play was sold out hours before the play began. The class may be truthfully said to boast more talented singers, speakers and writers than its predecessors. These and many other activities are listed on page 100. A high sense of humor, willingness to back all school activities, and a fund of common sense may well characterize the Class of 1939. As it goes to take its place as the youngest alumni, it will leave a trail of nice memories behind it.
