BLUE AND WHITE CLASS HISTORY On June 9, 1931, the Seniors met for their last class in American History. Mr. Stough was at a loss to know just what might be taught on the occasion of this last meeting, since the class had learned, during the year, all there was to know about American History and civics. It was suggested that the class review its own history, and add this record to History of the American People, by West, so that other senior classes, and the world in general may know of the noble annals of the Class of '31. Mr. Stough proceeded to question the class in characteristic manner, the first question being, When and where was the class discovered ? p Every member of the class looked about in dismay, finally Bill Mac- Donald, who knows more than anyone else about the class, volunteered 'to answer. It was on September 8, 1919, that the class was discovered in an old, yes, a very old school house that formerly stood where the Roosevelt building now stands. It seemed that an edict had gone forth in the land that all boys and girls of the age of six years were to gather together art this place to be instructed in their A, B. C's. Who were the discoverers of this class ? inquired Mr. Stough. Marjorie Marsteller spoke up. Miss Myrta Bailey and Miss Lucy Arner had been notified to be on the lookout for such a group, and sure enough, as they approached the appointed place, they found the class al- ready assembled. Who were the charter members ? Mr. Stough then asked, and Anna Laura Kerr, one of the charter members, answered, Of the fifty-five members of the Class of '31 only nine were assembled in this group on that first morning of school. They were: Marjorie Marsteller, Virginia Bailey, Laura Belle Owen, Evelyn Nash, Virginia Tracy, Bill Mac- Donald, Kenneth Barnes, and myself. With Harold Moyers, John Tiedy, Mildred McMurray and Elizabeth Antinie, this group have pursued their education from the first grade to the twelfth in Hubbard. Relate the history of the seventh and. eighth grades, was Mr. Stough's next question to Evelyn Nash. Well, Evelyn began, when we entered junior high school everything was changed. We had come into the high school building during our third year in school, but we were now pro- moted to the second floor, and we felt quite 'bigg' Miss Reed, Miss John- son, Mr. Kille, Mr. Cox, Miss Allen and Miss Hammil were our teachers and our subjects were all new. Mr. i Boren came as our principal in I 9 3 I Page eighteen

BLUE AND WHITE I that year. Even though we had to study harder, we became more inter- ested in school activities and participated in more of them. Ken, give the important events of your freshman year, said Mr. Stough. Ken Reilly replied, Our class was organized in the ninth year. Paul Mathews was the first president, and Mr. Cox our class adviser. Our motto was Work Conquers All, and the class colors selected were green and white. Eighty-three were graduated on the evening of June 7, 1928, from the junior high school. Who will relate the important facts of the sophomore year? asked Mr. Stough, and Luke Polumbo responded. Kenneth Reilly was our presi- dent, and Mr. Cox our class adviser. We had two parties during the year, and other social functions which enabled us to become better acquainted. Now come the two years most worthy of remembrance, remarked Mr. Stough. Will you tell us about the junior year, John ? John Corbin answered. Dorothy Hatton and Fred Armitage were added to the class membership, and Kenneth Reilly was re-elected president. We held sev- eral parties during the year. Our junior class play, The Quest, was presented -with great success. Our chemistry class took a week-end trip to Niagara Falls in May, which proved very pleasant as well as -educa- tional. Soon after we returned the staff was elected withiAnna Laura Kerr editor.Our junior-senior banquet was held on May 24, 1930, and of course, it was the big event of the year. The junior-senior picnic was our last social gathering with the senior class of '30. When Mr. Stough asked for a review of the senior year everyone offered to discuss that, so our president, Bill MacDonald, was again called upon. He responded with a summary of our senior year's activities. While those events were clear in our own minds, it was thought best to record events so important tofuture classes. He began: Our class adviser came back this year with a bride, and we held a party in his honor, John Evans was elected vice-president, Marjorie Synder, secretary, and Sam Tucciarone, treasurer. We had several parties during the year. The senior class play, Nothing But the Truth, senior day, and the banquet were the main events, and Friday evening, June 12, graduation will mark the closing of our very enjoyable high school education. Mr. Boren, who had come in to visit the class, then congratulated us on reaching the end of the road as far as high school education was con- cerned, and expressed his appreciation for the co-operation which the class had extended to the faculty during its school career. - I 9 3 I f Page nineteen
