SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1934 a Jolly and enthusiastic group of sixty Freshmen, entered Homer High School to begin their high school life. A short time later the class met and chose Robert Dishaw president and Mr. Harry Running class advisor. We also selected our class colors, green and white, and our banner. A few weeks after school started the Sophomores challenged the Freshmen to a tug-of-war at the lower mill. Encouraged by the yells of the girls and the dreadfully cold water, they succeeded in dousing the Sophomores twice. That evening our friendly enemies repaid us at the reception by making us bow down to them and taking the Freshman oath. Later on they served us homemade ice-cream and cake. We had one party during the first semester in Room H. It was an over-crowded party with sixty-five present. Our second party was held in the Community House the last semester, our class being the first to hold a party in the new building. In our Sophomore year we chose Eva Rising as our President and Ml88 Towne as our new class advisor. The third week of school we challenged the Freshmen to a tug-of-war. Our boys weren't so fortunate this year, as they were pulled through once, but we didn't feel so badly after seeing the Freshmen on initiation day. That same evening we gave them a reception at the Community House. One cold, snowy day about two-thirds of our class, accompanied by Miss Towne, ventured out to Brown's hill to enjoy the sliding. A few minor casualties resulted, but did not dampen our enthusiasm. In the spring we drove over to Swain's Lake for a swim and a picnic supper. The water was rather chilly but a few were brave enough to venture In. It was a fine party, even if a little wet, and we will never forget or regret it. By the time we came back to school in 1936 we began to feel very important because we were now in our Junior year. Miss Towne remained our class advisor this year and we chose Merrill Amsler, president. One evening after a basketball game we gathered in the Kindergarten Room for a social party. Dancing and games provided the entertainment. Refreshments of homemade ice-cream and wafers were served later in the evening. Shortly after the holidays, we chose our Junior Play, The Big Front . Miss Towne was the director. The next important event was the Senior Prom, on April 16, to which we were all invited. In May we gave the Seniors a reception at the Community House. The ceiling was decorated In class colors with fernery and colored lamps surrounding the room A floor show was given and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The big moment for which we had been waiting had arrived at last. We were SENIORS!I We again elected Merrill Amsler president, and Mr. Whetstone became our class advisor. One snowy day we decided to have a sliding party at Brown's Hill. After the party we went to Shirley Foley's home for hot cocoa and sandwiches. Mr. and Mrs. Whetstone chaperoned us. Before the holidays, rehearsals had begun on our Senior Play, Shirtsleeves . It was presented February 2 and 3 at the Coznnunity House, to a large and enthusiastic audience. Plans are all completed for the Senior Prom which will be held May 13. We are eagerly looking forward to the Junior-Senior Reception, Skip Day and Commencement. We are to wear caps and gowns at our connnencement activities. Some of the day« spent in dear old Homer High were not so happy, but we all deeply regret leaving It. Of the sixty members who started together four short years ago, there are only thirty-nine left to go forth and carry out our motto, We finish, to beg in• 12
