CLASS HISTORY Since life is constantly moving, we, the Class of 1936, have boarded an Airplane, the good ship, Knowledge, Upon boarding the ship, with fourteen passengers aboard, in the year 1932, known as Freshman, we took for ourselves the motto, Our Ship is Launched, Where Shall We Anchor? During this year, while passing over the large town of Bristol, Indiana, we added to our passengers a pair of twins, Cora and Dora Covert. Still later in the year, as we were sailing over the scenic countryside near the town of Millersburg, we gathered in the pieces of a young man bearing the name of Charles Thwaits. After much work we tinally got most of the pieces together where they belonged and made a fairly good basketball player out of him, so that he is a member of the famous Jefferson Five. While still wondering of the why's and wherefore's of our high school career, we gave as our Freshman play, Where's Grandpa? directed by Miss Stambaugh, our class sponsor. We then sailed over the summer vacation with few historical events and little men- tal exercise. Upon starting our Sophomore year we paused long enough in the city of Goshen, Indiana, to gather up school books, school teachers and such trash as would be needed during the coming year. While there we picked up some much needed mental material condned in a young man known as Richard Holderman, Several months later, passing over the same city, another young man by the name of Burl Lepird was added to the class. Being of a very sentimental nature we gave as our Sophomore play, The Romance Hunters, under the direction of Mr. Trump, class sponsor of ,33 and '34. After a good rest from our strenuous activities, we were now ready to begin the shady side of our High School career. Upon re-assembly, when the pilot had called the hated words, All Aboard, and the ship had been started, everyone began to look around to see all the familiar faces. The general question seemed to be, Any new people unluckv enough to get wrapped up in this sort of thing? Yes, a young lady was aboard bearing the name of Edith Gallay, who said her home town was Elkhart, Indiana. Perhaps this person realized her mistake as she very often deserted us when our most trying classes were in progress. In the early part of 1935, upon passing the old home of Mr. Richard Holderman, we decided to allow him a short visit with his paf81ltS, but he liked ll S0 Well lllat he never joined us again. Page 12
