On the first day of school, we found that we were to have two new teachers. This frightened us at first, but now we are well acquainted. We had all looked forward to having Mr. Cook as one of our teachers, but he had passed on into the world which we all hope to attain some day. This year we missed several classmates. Those that did not return were: Ruth Wheeler, Ernest Steiner, Jeroham Yoder, Dorothy Glassburn and Noah Amstutz. Some that left this year were Rowene Zuercher, Margaret Pace, Evealeen Boice and Dorothy Fravel. The class party, at the Berne Park, which we enjoyed very much, and the selection of our class rings are two events which stand out above the more commonplace expe- riences of the year.

Names Can You Imagine? Bernice Mathys REPORTERS PRESIDENT-Bernice Mathys VICE PRESIDENT-Donald Windmiller SECRETARY-Wayne Noland TREASURER-Carl Zuercher Junior Hislory On September 4, 1937, we, a group of forty-nine boys and girls, entered the Geneva High School as freshmen. Because of our timidness we were called greenies. Soon we became less timid but the name stuck with us for the rest of the year. Dorothy Wheeler and Katherine Nelson decreased our number to forty-seven. We decided to have a party, and Jane Miller cordially invited us to be her guests. September 2, 1938, we entered the assembly more boldly than we had a short year before. Thirty-eight pupils made up our sophomore class, and during the year Marjorie Bixler left but Carl Zuercher joined us. Our first get-to-gether of this year was held in the Berne Park. For the farewell party ofthe year every one was invited to spend a joyous evening with Betty Kraner. On July 14, 1939, the entire class was invited to spend the evening at the Bluffton CCC Camp. Everyone enjoyed a festive evening. A hamburger fry was the main event. September 1, 1939, our group of thirty boys .and girls entered the high school as so- phisticated juniors. During the year we added Herman Bixler, but Marcella Pontzious moved away. The play, She's My Daisy, was presented by our class on November 28, 1939. Our final party for the year was held at the home of Bernice Mathys. As we near the close of this term we are looking forward with anticipation to our final year, which we hope to make our best.
