SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY PRESIDENT-Dwight Lory SECRETARY-Mildred Haller VICE PRESIDENT-Betty Leutwiler TREAS'URERl-Margaret Knebel SPONSORS-Miss Foster, Mr. White, and Mr. Ewing N COLORS-Pink and Green FLOWER-Pink Rose MOTTO- Success Is Our Goal In September, 1934, fifty-four, awe-strick- en, bashful, and by all means green freshies entered the old Highland High. We chose as our officers Quentin Nungesser, President: Wilma Earnhart, Vice President: and'Betty Leutwller, Secretary-Treasurer. Our class spon- sors were Miss Foster and Mr. Yates. The first get-together of the year was in September. It was a wiener roast for the freshmen only, but lt had to be held indoors on account of rain. In February, we were the hosts and hostesses at an all-high-school party, which was a suc- cess in every way. Dancing and card games provided the evening's entertainment, and re- freshments were also served. During the rest of the year, we acted as freshies usually do. We were carefree and gay, forgot our lessons, and were set on having a good time. In September, 1935, forty-five of us re- turned, not, however, to the old school, but to the new Highland High. There was quite a marked change between the awe-stricken, bash- ful, and green freshmen of '34, and the proud sophomores of '35. We felt quite superior to the new freshies of '35. We chose as our officers Emily Messerli, President, Robert Koch, Vice President: and Edna Essenpreis, Secretary- Treasurer.' Miss Suess acted as our sponsor. The only form of social activity presented by the sophomores throughout the year was an assembly program of nursery rhymes, in which each person dressed to fit the rhyme he said. Time passed all too swiftly for most of us, and before we realized itl, we were juniors. This year we numbered only Qthirty-seven, and three of our members, Milton :Bieser, Bernice Hoefle, and Genevieve Snyder did not finish the year with us. We selected as our class officers Dwight Lory, Presidentgi Betty Leutwiler, Vice President: Edna Essenprels, Secretary, and Wilma Earnhart, Treasurer. We opened the social activities of the year with a box social on October 30. The boys bid for the boxes after seeing the silhouettes of, the girls who brought them. After we had Qartaken of some very luscious victuals, everyone went to the gym to dance or play card games. Later in the even- ing Mr. Yates told us a very spooky ghost story. In February, as an assembly program, we pre- sented a play entitled Dusty Road . On April 9, we tried our hand at higher dramatics, and as a result Robert Ray's Cam- pus Quarantine was presented. It was a comedy published by the Northwestern Press and was a huge success ilu every way under the very able direction of Mr. Yates. Q The climax of our ,junior year was the junior-senior banquet held on the evening of May 1. The theme of fthe banquet was May Day, and was carried out very well by the presence of butterflies, bllue birds, spring flow- ers, May poles, and abolve all the May Queen and her Maids. With the completion of the banquet and, subsequexitly, the end of the school year, we began to lrealize that our school days at Highland High lwere passing swiftly.
