AFTER FOUR YEARS OUR UNTIRING EFFORTS BROUGHT THE CLIMAX — GRADUATION MERRICE HOPPE, President DERRIL CONNOLLEY, Vice-President MARY JANE HOFF, Secretary CLAIR ARRANTS, Treasurer MOTTO: To The Stars Through Difficulties An unexcelled record is about to be established by the faculty of Hicksville High, for the teachers have miraculously brought about that often despaired of feat — the graduation of the class of ' 35. A green pallor settled over the study hall on a sunny morning in the fall of 1931 as sixty-eight wide-eyed, open- mouthed Freshmen drifted silently in to gaze with awe at the forbidding faces of their superiors. A little lifeless they were that first year and there was much doubt¬ ful head shaking as the year wore on. Lit¬ tle did people then guess what lay be¬ neath our incomprehensible exteriors. In the fall of 1932, after a summer of rest and careful grooming, we returned fo school with but one motive—to make people take notice of our abilities. Our scholastic standing began to rise and in all extra-curricular activities the Sopho¬ mores were holding their own. Our par¬ ties lacked nothing in fun, to which the faculty largely contributed. The face of 1933 saw the new Juniors invested with a new security and self-con¬ fidence. Interest was centered on the Spoondrift, our school paper. The joyous activities of the year were shadowed by the death of one of our members, Janet Nell. However, we rallied bravely and concentrated on our Junior-Senior ban¬ quet at which the Seniors were royally en¬ tertained. Hamilton Lake also saw an exuberant group of students when we had our Junior skating party there. Our Senior year brought us closer to¬ gether and we began to realize the neces¬ sity of working together. Our number was forty-seven and Senior class problems were many but the faculty showed itself well able to cope with them. The Hixon- ian was the center of interest this year. Many happy activities climaxed our four years of struggling to find ourselves in a new world. Page I I
