A Prophoo The onior Class-Yostorda and Tomorrow Class History ln i936 we enrolled in the lst grade with IO members present. During the next few years more pupils came in than dropped out, so that by the 7th grade we had l7 members. When the 9th grade rolled around, Freshmen filed in from different part of the county increasing the number of pupils to 24. ln our Sophomore year we decided to venture into dramatics, and put on the play Lady Spitfire with IO students in the cast. As .luniors, we sponsored the first Homecoming held in Hancock, with the entire community taking part. The Absent Minded Professor was chosen as the Junior Class Play and was very successfully put on. The Junior-Senior Banquet, sponsored by the Juniors, was worked out to a Moonlight theme, and proved to be a very beautiful and delightful occasion. Freshmen Initiation Week was one of the highlights of the Senior year, topped off by a party in honor of the Freshmen. Homecoming was again very successful, and was enjoyed by school students, alumni, and the community. The play One Foot in Heaven was to have been put on by the Seniors, but due to friction between two churches and the school, it had to be dropped.
