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,

CLASS Clinton llogier. and Clyde Isert, helped till in the thin ranks of the football squad: and tour made the basketball squad. Of these Milburn Bishop and Clinton Rogier played with the first team. The G. A. A. next year will miss the presence of Mary Lou, June, llorothy Ellen, lone, and lluth Federer. Three of our lzoys played with the band to the end of the year: Glenn Hartlieb, Ken- neth Sicver, and Thomas Winter. Two of our boys are charter members of the new Hi-Y organization, They are Marion Alch and Clinton Rogier, Besides we have four 'Fhespian members, four German Club 1nen1- hers, seven in the F. F. A., two in the Home lilconomics Club, and tive on the Reflector Staff. As a whole, we believe this is a fair representation. if not an excellent one. As we look back upon our senior year, we do not feel that our efforts have been futile, but we wish we could have done much more and hope our successes and failures will guide other classes to come. However, we did sponsor another interesting party, perhaps the best of all our attempts. This was a Kid Party. It was quite a lot of fun to dress like a kid and act like a kid again for one evening, and everyone seemed to en- joy it. Also another line play was given in a satisfactory manner on November 20 by our class with the help of Mr. Yates. This play was lt Won't Be Long Now, a very suc- cessful comedy. With the talent in our class, the line coaching of Mr. Yates, and the use of a good, light comedy, we produced a play that was said by many people to be one of the best produced for some time. ln April a home-made doughnut .sale was pro- moted by our class. Through the culinary genius of Miss Drew and the members of the food class and also the help of other faculty members, dozens of doughnuts were made and delivered to people all over Highland. Perhaps our hardest task this year was the publication of our yearbook. All the duties connected with this undertaking we1'c F193 assumed by thc Staff, and to them the class is deeply grateful. We hope our annual will be well received by the community as a whole and that it will keep the name of our class alive long after we leave Highland High. One of our members, lnez Wetzel, par- ticipated in the vocal music contest held April 17 at Staunton, lnez's solo ranked in second group and we are very proud of her. The juniors entertained us on May 14 at the annual junior-senior banquet which was held in our gymnasium. Since we know from experience how much work the staging of this banquet takes, we feel deeply grateful lo the juniors who entertained ns in a most delightful manner. ln May we gave our Class Day exercises before the entire high school. For the first time we appeared as the graduating class of 15137 and realized that our high school days were almost over. We are deeply honored that our gradu- ation exercises may be a part of the school's l'-'lClJl'blll0Il ot the Highland Centennial and the formal dedication of our school. We hope to cantribute nobly to the enterprise. So now, wishing that there were more opportunities to do worth while things in our hlgh school days, we close the history of the senior class of 1937. Though we feel that we have accomplished something in our school days, we know the1'e is much to do after our school days are over. lt is up to us now to utilize our knowledge ami carry on from the beginning which has been given us through our schooling. Although we feel sadness ill parting from our school, we realize that this parting is only the beginning of an- other great adventure to come, greater even than the adventure of our high school life. Would that the future might bring as much to us as the richness of happy high school days has brought!
