The affairs of the year were carried on by the following officers: DAVID PETHERBRIDGE. . . ...... President JAMES BAKER ....... .... I f'ice-President Jnssin STRA'r'roN. . . ....... Secretary CLARA LEAFSTROM ............ . . . ............... Treasufrer Even though we took an active part in sports and musical organizations, our career as high school students still seemed uneventful. The outstanding event was the obtaining of our class rings. We were extremely proud of this band of gold which carried with it a permanent feeling. J UN IORS VVe took the position of upperclassmen with quite an air of dignity, and were soon definitely established to begin our first really active year. The following were elected to conduct the activities of the year: DAVID PETHERBRIDGE. . . ........ President EDW.ARD SHOCKLEY .... .... I 'Vice-Pres-iderzt JESSIE STRATTON. . . ..... Secretary CLARA LEAFSTROM .... . . . Treasurer A large number of our class members were on every varsity squad, particularly on the Championship Football Team. H The most important event of the year took place on lVIay Sth. Many uniors and seniors enjoyed the beautiful decorations and dancing to the lively music of the Warner-Haines Orchestra. The Prom was a financial as well as a social success. Our dramatic ability was displayed when we presented The Florist's Shopn on Dem- onstration Day. Our first project to obtain the necessary funds for the Washington trip was on June 5th. We had the Kay Brothers Circus, and it made our VVashington jaunt a closer reality. We took a profit from everything, even to those who crept under the tent or chiseled in. Our year had been a grand success, but it closed in sorrow, owing to the death of Helen Pfleger in the last week of school. SEN IORS At last We came to take our desired position in the su11. To continue' the success of our junior activities, we organized immediately, and the following insured us another Hne year: JACK FARQUHAR ..,. . ..,..... President KENNETH NEVIUS ...... .... I tice-President NIARY TVTACCLELLAND .... ...,... S ecretary CLARA LEAFSTROM ................ ............. T reasurer Being seniors, we had two questions in mind, VVill I be graduated in June? and Is the Washington trip a possibility? The first question depended on ourselves, but the second on our cooperation as a group. Just as soon as the fall sports programs opened, one witnessed the hustling of hot dogs cC071t1:71.110d on page 610 Page Thirteen

ULHBS UFFICERS JACK FARQUHAR CLARA LE.-xrsrnou P'res'ident Treasurer KENNETH Nnvios MARY MACCLELLAND 'Vice-President Secretary IILHSS HISTORY FRESHMEN NEVER shall we forget that beautiful morning in September of 1933 when with innocent, shining faces, we waited for the eight-thirty bell, eager to start on our new pathway of life. How grown up we felt to be high school students, but the upper classmen delighted in dis- illusioning us. VVe galloped from class to class as quickly as possible, because we detested that beckoning cry of a junior or senior, Hey, John, here comes a 'Rookie' Cute thing, isn't it? Despite their efforts to belittle us, we caught on so rapidly that they were given little occasion for their nefarious practices. We spent some time in getting acquainted and becoming accustomed to our surroundings. Just before the end of our first semester, the class was saddened by the death of one of its well-liked members, Warren Fenton, who was killed while coasting. After the beginning of the second term, hir. hlalcolm Johnson was appointed to be our class adviser. Shortly thereafter, we organized as a group and elected the following to conduct our affairs: XVILLIAM ALBERTSON .... ........ P resident ALBERT JoHNs'r0N ..... .... I 'ice-President J Essnn STRATTON. . . ..... Secretary CLARA LEAFSTROM .... .... . , ..... Treasurer The Hfreshies proved themselves to be quite an active and cooperative group and were well represented in sports and other extra-curricular activities. SOPHOMORES Being given some recognition by this time, we were able to start our second year with a feeling of self-assurance. ' Page Twelve

ELIZABETH WILKINS ALLEN 117 EUCLID AVENUE Though she looked like the innocent flower, mischief hid itself behind those big blue eyes and blond hair. Betts helped to keep the class going through her innocent boners, chiefly in English class, though she did surprise us once or twice by giving the right answer. Her distinguishing features were a weakness for peppermint patties and the uncanny ability of always being late. As to her future, Betty is undecided. Hockey 12, SD, Glee Club EMILY ANDERSON KRESSON, NEW JERSEY Emily was a petite miss with big soulful brown eyes, dark wavy hair, and a rather shy smile. VVe often wondered whether P. L. was the subject of Em's meditations when she sat so pensively in class. Sewing was one of her favorite occupations in leisure moments. Emily's ambition is to become the private secretary of some big executive. THERESA ELSIE ANGELLO 29 COLONIAL AVENUE Tea was one of the more affable members of our class and was seldom seen without n. smile. Despite this fact, she had a serious air at times and was an excellent student. Her pleasing personality and long dark lashes proved very attractive, particularly to a young man named Earl. Terry was an inveterate movie fan, but her favorite pastimes were cooking and sewing. She should make a very efficient secretary. ELEANOR APPLEGATE 24 WTILKINS AVENUE Although rather quiet during her classes, El was one of the most enter- taining of companions during the lunch hour-when she took time off from munching on pretzels. Her hobbies were the collecting of souvenirs and photo- graphs. Eleanor had much interest in Tuckerton, but whether this is the key to her future or not we were unable to learn. Page Fourteen
