12 THE TROJAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto: Don't wait for Progress; try Progressing Colors: Blue and Gold Flower: Gold Rose In the fall of 1936, September 8 to be exact, 38 Freshmen entered the place of higher learning, Homer High School. We elected the following officers: Lawrence Boyd, President; Eugene Whitcomb, Vice President; Anita Green, Secretary; and Doris Shaffer, Treasurer. Miss Hammond was appointed our class advisor. The somewhat dreaded Initiation day arrived, but to tell the truth we enjoyed the day immensely. When the customary Tug of War was announced, there was a fluttering of hearts, but we won a decisive victory over the Sophomores, 'mid cheers irom the onlookers. After the Sophomores ga.ve us a reception, we felt very much a part of the school, and had long since decided to stay. Our main accomplishment of the year was the first Hot Lunch ,Club of Homer High School organized by the Freshmen Home Economics Class and their advisor. Miss McCort. We also sponsored an All-School Party, Jointly with the Junior class. When, in the fall of 1936, we entered High School as Sophor.ores, the following officers were elected: Pres.-Eugene Whitcomb; Vice Pres.-Marion Smith; Sec.-Jeanette Ingraham; and Treasurer-Robert Dawson, with Miss Hammond again our class Advisor. It was soon realized that we should initiate our new fellow classmates, the Freshmen. We even went so far as to give each Freshmen lad a bath at the annual Tug of War. When we thought they were initiated sufficiently, we entertained them at a Reception. We were also responsible for one All-School Party during the year, besides taking part in various other school activities. As Juniors, we selected the following officers: Pres.-Marion Smith; Vice Pres.- Charles Rising, Secretary-Joe Jarosz; and Treasurer-Janet Howe, retaining Miss Hammond as class advisor. That Fall we received our class rings, making us feel that we held a more important place than ever before in Homer High. In the spring we selected our play, The Heathers at Home. under the direction of Miss Helen Wells. Those taking part were: Robert Ballentlne, Doris Shaffer, George Tasker, Duane Anderson, Perry Phillips, Eugene Whitcomb, Stanley Osborn, Virginia Rice, Doris King, Lawrence Boyd, and Janet Howe. In June we gave a reception and took part in the graduation exercises. When our Senior year arrived-, Eugene Whitcomb became President; Robert Ballen-tine. Vice President; Doris King, Secretary; and Marion Smith, Treasurer. Mr. Cuber became our class advisor. Early in the fall, Mr. Mays suggested a trip to Washington D.C., to be taken after graduation which was enthusiastically received by the class. Since than we have concentrated on raising necessary funds for the trip. We deeply appreciate the cooperation shown by the classes, organizations, and the teachers of Homer High School; also the business men and individuals who have aided us most graciously in securing means for the proposed trip. We presented our play The Absent Minded Professor in late fall. The cast was as follows: Stanley Osborn, Ruth Vosburgh, Helen Kennedy, Virginia Rice, Charlotte But- ters, Doris Shaffer, Perry Phillips, Robert Ballentine, Dorothy Gridley, Duane Anderson, and Jeanette Ingraham. Our Prom will be held May 4, and we will have our Commencement Exercises early in June.
