Any of our boys can vouch for that, as they were pulled through twice by the Sophomores. On the morning of the 21 of September we really gave the rest of the student body a thrill with our wardrobe display. Boys in shorts, blouses, a girl’s ha carrying a beach pail and shovel. Girls in overalls, worn backward, straw hat and pipe. All were in stocking feet with a super abundance of makeup. We were guests at a delightful reception where more initiation was forced upon us on the evening of the 22. The Community House was decorated very effectively. We felt very much a part of Homer High School after a most enjoyable evening. We lost one of our most lovable classmates when Dorothy Moclair left to make her home in Pensacola, Florida. A farewell party was given in her honor March 1 in Room H at the school. On March 15 we sponsored our first all school party given in the Community House. We constructed a false ceiling and used the St. Patricks Day Motif. Our first year as members of Homer High School has now drawn to a close. It is our wish that our class will do her share to keep our school home as fine as she always has been.
