CL PRESIDENT-Marion Alch VICE PRESllllCNTfL. .I. Kenlpff SPONSORS-Miss Foster, Mr, White, Mr. Ewing MOTTO- To the Stars and Bars At the beginning of the school year in i933, the enthusiastic, ambitious senior class of today began its school lif'e as any fresh- men class would, with a feeling of awe and restriction at entering the highly sacred realms of high school. However, we soon became acquainted with the upper classmen, whom we had always looked upon as being the ideals and examples of our future school days, and, having been made to feel at home, we set out to make a name for ourselves. The forty-four members of that freshmen class elected as their class officers Dorothy Ellen Draper, Presidentg Clinton Rogier, Vice President: and Floyd Gall, Secretary- Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Mr. Gen- ther, then the agriculture teacher. With a determined vigor our class set out to do things. During our first year we sponsored three social events which were quite enthusi- astically promoted and received by the school. The first was a hike to Klaus's Lake and a wiener roast there which afforded us a chance to become better acquainted with one another. The second event was a Christ- mas party given for the entire school. As our first attempt at a school party, this one was fairly successful and gave promise of hetter ones to come. The third event pro- moted by our class in its freshmen year was ai party that included freshmen only. Our freshmen year as a whole proved very happy to us, but it was marred by one sad event, the death of our Secretary-Trea- surer, Floyd Gall. Floyd was a newcomer to our school, but he quickly gained many t'riends. His popularity made the shock of ASSOF I93 SEC R ETA ll Y-Clyde Isert TREASVIIE R-Blanche Paul COLORS-Blue and Gold FLOXVEH-Orcllid Through Bolts his death all the greater to his high school friends. .Iohn Zobrist filled his position as Secretary-Treasurer until the end of the school year. Entering into our sophomore year of school, we contributed an important share to the last year of school life in the old school building. This year there were thirty-nine members in the class, and the following, of- ficers were elected: Marion Alch, President: Clyde lsert, Vice President: and Dorothy Ellen Draper, Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors this year were Mins VVenger and Mr. Simerl, Our all-high school Hallowe'en party afforded an evening of great enjoyment for all. We also provided a very interesting featurde at the school carnival for the ben- efit of the Boys' Athletic Association. It was known as the Big Broadcast. Our class representative, Dorothy Ellen Draper, had the honor of being elected Queen of this car- nival. We regarded with pride our history as sophomores, but we looked forward with increased expectation to our life in the new, modern-equipped school we have today. Death struck again, however, and marred the pleasure of our class by taking from us an- other of our classmates, Wilbur LeDuc. Wil- bur was an active worker in the activities of the school. He was a member of the F. F. A. and the Glee Club, and always proved ready to assist in any way. l'pon entering into our junior year of school, we found ourselves with great advan- tages at our disposal, fine opportunities to advance further our work as a class. Every student upon starting school in our new building must have had a feeling of starting

CLASS anew, for conditions were so different from what we had been used to. But after settling down to the new surroundings we juniors again accomplished a great deal. Although only twenty-seven members 1'eturned, those who did come back to school were very ac- tive. Officers elected were Marion Alch, President: L. .I. Kempff, Vice President: Grace Zobrist, Secretary: and Clyde lsert, Treasurer, Our sponsor was Mr. Kiburz, who taught science that year in the absence of Mr. VVhite. As students grow up and progress through high school, they take more activi- ties upon their shoulders and assume more leadership. We juniors used the opportuni- ties of the new school building to great ad- vantage as is seen by our activities during this third year, The first thing that we did was to sponsor a Christmas candy sale. The girls of the foods class made the candy and members of our class sold it. We sponsored an assembly program which was a mock Major Bowes Amateur Hour. All the ambi- tious amateurs of the high school partici- pated, and much unusual talent was discov- ered. Too bad that the Major himself could not have been there! After all the basket- ball tournaments were over, we spons01'ed a Leap Year-St. Patrick's Day party. This proved to be quite a novelty, for the girls in- vited the boys to the party, asked for the dances, and also, incidentally, bought the refreshments! This party was a very suc- cessful innovation to the school in the line of parties. As Leap Year comes only once every four years, our class was lucky to have the opportunity to introduce this style of party. The next important event of our junior year was the class play. With the help of Mr. Yates, our class put on the first play in the huge gymnasium of our new school. The play was entitled The Millionaire, a Long- F I93 mans Green play in which George Arliss starred some years ago. The financial and productive success of the play were equally successful. The cast was ably handled by Mr. Yates and proved its worth in the per- formance. As a class we are proud to have had the opportunity to produce the first play in the new school. The last, biggest, and most important event of our junior year was the junior-senior banquet, We solved the big problem of decorating and equipping the large gymnasium efficiently. The theme of the banquet was an old southern mansion, and all that goes with the thought was found at our banquet, including the fried chicken, a southern moon, and good old southern hospitality. With the completion of our ban- quet and the end of the school year, we were reminded that we had only one more year to remain in the realms of high school, to enjoy our-selves, and at the same time to accom- plish good. This, our last year, closes the activities and history of the senior class of 1937. Our class was enlarged by five students from Marine: Leona Becker, Virginia Uonrad, Irma Grotefendt, Ardith Middleton, and Floyd Tabor, and four from Alhambra: Milburn Bishop, Lynn Dauderman, Virgil Klaus and Inez Wetzel. We chose Marion Alch, L. J. Kempff, Clyde 1-sert and Blanche Paul for our officers: and Miss Foster, Mr. White, and Mr. Ewing were our sponsors. A fair percentage of our class has par- ticipated this year in the numerous activities of the school. We did not take over the organization of the Student Council because not enough interest in it was shown by the -students as a whole. However, twelve of our members helped the Glee Clubs win honors in April, and Blanche Paul acted as their pianist. Three of our boys, Robert Kleiner,
