HISTORY Four years ago approximately one hundred and ten boys and girls entered the portals of the Hartford City High School. They idolized the upper classmen and hoped that someday, they, too, would be just as dignified and superior. Today we are seniors and have realized our hopes. When our class of 1936 were freshmen, Miss Mary Greene and Mr. Colon Parlcs were appointed as class sponsors. During that year we chose our motto, Continually striving to attain, our class colors, red and white, and our class flower, the red rose. Qur class officers were William Kunlcle, president, Clyde Fulton, vice-president, Doyne Allen, secretary, and June Gilbert, treasurer. The social event of that year was a picnic at the Newbauer farm, south of the city. In our sophomore year we elected Robert Risinger, president, William Howard, vice-president, Mildred Telle, secretary, and Helen Byrd, treasurer. ln the fall of 1934 as juniors and with the annual junior-senior reception to be planned and financed, we were soon aware that a busy year was ahead. The officers who guided us through that year were Stephen Leonard, president, David Buckles, vice-president, Justine Burlc, secretary, and Joe Liniger, treasurer. ln order to increase our treasury, we gave a musical comedy, Sunny Skies, and sponsored two benefit shows. This year was brought to a close with our entertaining the seniors and guests with a banquet at the Methodist church and a dance in the new gym. Upon entering the last lap of our high school course, the following class officers were elected: Russell Williams, president, Patricia Bray, vice-president, Lelsle Jones, secretary, and Robert Overmyer, treasurer. With the publishing of the Retro, we were busier than ever this year. That we might have funds to carry on our worlc, we sold subscriptions to Curtis Magazines and conducted the Retro Campaign in which we secured the highest number of subscriptions ever sold, six hundred fifty. A class play, One Mad Night, was given in December, and a benefit show was also sponsored. The main Social event was a carry-in dinner and a dance held in the old gym. Qur happy year as seniors was brought to a close with the junior-senior prom given in our honor by the junior class. Thus our class of seventy-seven members, having participated in class day, bacca- laureate, and commencement, bids farewell to the Hartford City High School where we have spent many happy hours. ln remembering our experiences and attainments of these brief years, we wish to reiterate with Tennysons' immortal Ulysses: We are a part of all that we have met, Yet all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever when we move.
