C-Zan JiZi4Ifo'c On a bright sunshiny day in the fall of l93O, one hundred brilliant students entered the por- tals of Frankfort High School. For the first time in the history of the school, an entire freshman class, ours, was REQUIRED to take a course termed Biology, however, due to our unlimited mental capacities we came through with colors flying. As freshmen this class made the annual paper drive the most outstanding one ever launched. During the sophomore year we had the misfortune to lose one of our most popular members, Mary jane Norman, who died january IZ, l933. While juniors the class acted as hosts to the seniors at the most beautiful prom ever given. The function, which had the largest attendance in the history of the school, was held in Howard Hall, the historic gym was decorated in spring garden effect. In March, l934, a most successful St. Patrick's Day party was given by the juniors in the high school library. This year we also selected very handsome junior pins and rings which were soon distributed. ln the lofty position as seniors we went through the paces of the conventional round of acti- vities. A well attended play, Skidding, was presented May I7. A delightfully festive picnic was given at Ideal Beach May 22. Baccalaurette, with Rev. McClure as speaker, was held Sun- day, May 26, in Howard Hall. Class day exercises, innovated last year, were carried out again this year. Howard Hall was the scene of this activity on the afternoon of May 27. With speak- ers from the class, Commencement took place May 28 in Howard Hall. One of the greatest con- tributions of this class to the school was the restoration of the Cauldron to its former high posi- tion. This class innovated the new method of studying social science by the problem method, and direct contact instead of depending entirely upon reading. We divided the four classes finto groups, each group interviewed different officials or social workers and then returned to class and reported to the other members those things which they had discovered. Ours was the first class to pursue a four year high school course under the new administration headed by Principal C. R. Young. Under this plan the old eight period school day was divided into five periods with supervised study. The plan has proved to be very successful and construc- tive. Many individuals from the class of '35 have distingunished themselves in sports, debate, scho- larship, and music. NN fit. 'I 'ii - ,-'! ' --F Q ru lil TIHbfll',l '? s.i7l!li'H- HHHHIL-nl
