1 if f THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1936 + ff ff Sophomore Class JACK ACKERLY President JEAN BENNY BALDWIN SAMMIS Secretary Vice-President THE CLASS OF '38, returning last fall to school as full-fledged Sophomores, felt as if they were real veterans to our institution. In odd contrast to their lack of selflassurance of the previous year, the beaming faces among their group clearly showed underneath the warm sentiment only experienced when welcomed back home. Having been organized under Jack Ackerly, Henry Rotella, Ernest Hilden- brand and William Blauvelt as Freshmen class oHicers the preceding year, they smoothly formulated a new governing body composed of Jack Ackerly, again president, Baldwin Sammis, the new vice-president,Jean Benny as secretary and William Blauvelt for representative to the Executive Council. After settling down to their new work, they found that their studies, on the most part more difficult, did not allow them as much freedom as formerly. The Sophomore students now find themselves crossing the bridge between the days of happy-go-lucky Freshmen and the larger and broader activities of the two upper classes. They will soon be coming back to Huntington High School for a third semester, this time as juniors, and we can fully expect them to carry on the traditions ofthat class. 128.

it it it THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1936 f f f Freshman Class CATHERINE RIGGS President EILEEN STREET ROBERT BLAUVELT Secretagv Representative THOMAS ENGGREN Vice-President As AWKWARD Rookies, to a well trained army, came the 1935-36 Freshman Class to Huntington High School, representing one ofthe largest classes in our history. On the first day of school they gathered into small groups, conspicuous because of their self'-imposed segregation. Their wide-eyed inspection of every- one and everything caused much embarrassment and then too they had their uncontrollable Johnnies and Willies who delighted only in running through the halls and making noise. When they received their schedule cards the upper classmen were repeatedly asked, Where is the library? Where is room 303? and a host of other questions. However, under the direction of Miss Van Wart as Faculty Adviser, they soon began to organize their class by holding an election of officers. As a result, Catherine Riggs, Thomas Enggren, Eileen Street and Robert Blauvelt became, respectively, president, vice-president, secretary and representative to the Executive Council. Despite the fact that they were f'ledglings,' they were reported to have purchased more HQUESTION MARKSM than any other class. Then, too, their whole class has been very active in all sports with large numbers turning out for basketball, baseball and track. In addition to that they have also set the pace in the recent G. O. campaign when one of their home rooms became the first to attain one hundred per cent membership. They are now on the first rung ofthe ladder to success and although four years may sound long, we all know that June 1939 will be a memorable day in their lives. fgof
