In 1931, forty eight freshies entered Highland High School. We chose as our officers: Lynette Meloy, President, Harry Zeller, Vice Presidentg Evelyn Jenny, Secretary, and Lu Verne Alldridge, Treasurer. Miss Wenger acted as our sponsor. Our only activity was a wiener roast held at our sponsor's home. As typical freshmen we had a good time and did not seriously regard our lessons. When thirty seven of us returned as Sophoinores, we began to contemplate our education more seriously. Our officers were Lu Verne Alldridge, President: Harry Zeller, Vice President, Russel Stocker, Secretary and Treasurer. Our freshman sponsor, Miss Wenger, and Mr. Herrmeyer acted as our sponsors. There were no outstanding activities during this year. PAGE TWENTY TWO l

Thirty six members returned for the junior year, which was a very busy one for our class. Our officers were Harry Zeller, President, Pauline Schmidt, Vice- Presidentg and Verne Wehrle, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Drew acted as our sponsor. Our first activity as a class was a hike to the waterworks, which was enjoyed by all. The first all-high-school activity that our class sponsored was a box social in November. This was quite a novelty, and was highly successful. We sponsored a band concert that was also a success, Our class play, Here Comes Patricia, was directed by our sponsor Miss Drew. It was presented at the Opera House on December 15, and was well attended. In February, a second party was sponsored by our class in the form of a kid party. It proved enjoyable to the entire student body. A permanent addition to our high school was made in the form of the new Lost and Found Department begun by our class. The last event, and probably the most important, was the Junior-Senior Banquet, at which we entertained tlhe class of '34. It was held at the Temple and was a very impressive affair. The theme in decorating was a Chinese atmosphere. The color scheme we followed was the senior class colors, purple and gold. Speeches were given that followed the Chinese theme, and everyone seemed to adapt themselves to the spirit which the occasion demanded, The tables were lighted with candles, and the food was served by members of the sophomore class, who were garbed for the occasion in Chinese costumes. Firty six members composed our class in the senior year. Our first activity was a get-together party, which was supposed to be a Wiener roast, but ended up in the home ec. rooms due to rain. Another successful box social was sponsored by our class in November. On January 25, senior class play, Anybody's Game was given at the Opera House. It was quite a success, and was attended by a full house. The last few months were spent in working on the Iris and getting ready for our commencement. We are looking forward to our graduation with eager, yet sorrowful hearts, for we realize that our schooldays 'neath the Red and the Black will soon come to an end. We hope that our ideals will be higher and that we will be better fitted for the lives which lie before us, so that when we take our place as citizens we will be regarded by others as a credit to Highland High School.-G, B.
