19-SIMCOE-3 5 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago forty-five individuals congregated at G. H. S. and united to form the class of '35. Since that time the class has been drawing nearer and nearer to the goal of graduation. Some of the original members have left, but new ones have come to take their places, and the class as a whole has gone steadily on. Now at last the time has come to say good- bye to G. H. S. But before we go our separate ways, we want to record some- thing of what we have done in the past four years. When we entered high. school we were in a very bewildered state, as are most freshman classes. However, the Freshman Mixer enabled us to become more acquainted with our fellow-students, and after we gave our Return Mixer we felt entirely settled. Our first noble officers were: president, Harold Morgang vice-presi- dent, Lois Fentong and secretary-treasurer, Ray Linden. Miss Bixby was the faculty member who helped us through this trying time. Immediately we got into the swing of things and entered all possible fields, having sev- eral members in Glee Club and one letterman in football. When we had reached the higher state of being sophomores we elect- ed the following officers: president, Pauline Conleeg vice-president, Robert Young, secretary-treasurer, Norma Beyerling and class advisor, Mrs. Hud- son. We had four members in Torch Honor Society and a number in Glee Club and band. The big event of our sophomore year was the Armistice Day program. As juniors we considered ourselves very superior indeed. We elected the following officers, president, Harold Morgan, vice-president, Marion McPherson, secretary-treasurer, Frances Schuster, and faculty advisor, Mr. Van Woert. Having become mighty upper-classmen and considering ourselves quite as good as, if not better than, the seniors, Cpresent juniors please acquire no mistaken ideasl we decided to give a dance. The result was the junior prom, in a Japanese motif. Our achievements were topped by the junior play, a three-act comedy entitled Look Who's Here. This year we reached the exalted state of being seniors. We had Mrs. Collins to guide us and we had also the impressive corps of officers listed above. We were well represented in all organizations and activities. Among our achievements this year was the Christmas party. Later, eleven mem- bers of the class, under the direction of Miss Edwards, presented a play, Nothing But the Truth. This was a real success. Our senior ball, given in May, was most noteworthy for the fact that it carried out a musical idea, with decorations illustrating popular songs. Our baccalaureate services were held on May twenty-sixth and the commencement exercises on May thirty-first. The class of '35, instead of having the usual guest speaker, presented talks by three of its members, Lois Fenton, Frank Knosher, and Melvin Cable, in addition to those by the valedictorian, Ruth Keefhaver, and salutatorian, Eleanor Smith. - And now-we say goodbye to G. H. S. Page ighteen
