Athena Geanetos Secretary Betty Brown Treasurer Edward Osborne Young upstarts; dissembled knowledge; sprouting genius; and cool-headed, logical thinkers—the epic of the history of the class of '37 remains as a memory to J.H.S. First, mere upstarts of awkward adolesence ran up and down the stairs and halls. That year they had a Hallowe’en party, at which they all proceeded to step on each other’s toes and throw punch at the decorations. It was fun and so dignified then! Bill Hemphill led us that year as president. Then as sophomores we began to acquire more knowledge. Sophistication and charm were ideals, even though we didn’t understand them. We had grown up enough, how- ever, to have a very successful dance. We did know one thing, though; we liked J.H.S. and our boy president and basketball player, Charles Kctncr. In ’36, we began to sprout with genius. The way seemed to be clearing. We pro- duced a lovely leap-year banquet, with Jane Dunlap as Toast Mistress and Roberta Butler as Chairman. Then a beautiful, dignified Prom followed, with Charles Ketner and Joe Bagale as Co-Chairmen. Values began to take their places naturally. Then suddenly we were seniors—that always honored place—looked up to by every- one. A new air of sophisticated yet friendly calm filled us. We began the year with our Senior Play, that advanced production on the understanding of adolescence. Ending the year with a memory book, we edited our J,” with Ella Marie Ncwbery as Editor. We leave it with you as a token of our knowledge given willingly by our beloved teach- ers, and as we graduate, we look clearly forward into the future with a deep, rich appre- ciation of knowledge and life.
