The BLUE and WHITE Class History Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! It was the sound of l7O marching feet as 85 rookies entered Galena High School on September 6, 1934. We saw the completion of the gymnasium and the publication of the first Blue and White. We chose Marie Fleming as Our class queen and put up a gallant fight in the annual contest, but we were defeated by the seniors. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hubbard and Mrs. Haseltine we held our first class meeting and selected the following officers: President, Ted Myers, Vice-President, John Pennockg Secretary-Trea- surer, Mary Ellen Bennett. Time marches on! During our Sophomore year we were under the sponsorship of Miss Hub- bard and Miss Hoard. Five new teachers ioined the officers' ranks. Since we were no longer lowly Freshmen we were allowed to have parties. Time marches on! Our Junior year found us hale and hearty. Under the direction of Miss Hubbard our class play, The Million Dollar Butler , was presented. lt was our privilege and pleasure to entertain the class of '37 at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We had two parties during the year and a picnic. Time marches on! At last, we are nearing our goal. Several have dropped from our ranks but l5 girls and 23 boys march on at the command of Ben Patterson, who has been our leader for three consecutive years. Lena Bell represented our class in the annual contest and 'was elected Annual Queen. Under the supervision of Miss Hubbard we presented our play, Good Gracious, Grandma! The seniors held a prominent place in school athletics. This year saw five additions to our trophy case by various athletic groups. Saluting the Juniors for a successful Prom, we march around the corner to Commencement. Time marches on!
