The Timber Tints cf 1936 Senior Class History My High School Diary : September, 1932 — Umph, but don ' t we think we are “great ! We are now Freshmen, and this year marks the beginning of our high school career. We have forty-one in our class, twenty-one girls and twenty boys. I wonder how many of them will be in the graduating class in 1936 — Today we elected officers. Roy Stone was elected president. How “time is fleeing. Examinations are now over, and some of our classmates have failed to return ; among them is our president, Roy Stone. This leaves his duties to rest on the vice president, Margaret Halbrook. Now every one is busy working on the May Day Program. Margaret Halbrook and Galilee Smith are pages, and other participants are : May Plybon, Sunshine Jones, Anita Yeaman, Louise Smith, Georgia Philpott, and Helen Philpott. We are now patiently waiting and wondering what the play, “College Hobo,’’ will be like, but we will soon find out. Galilee Smith and Margaret Halbrook have parts in this play, which is creating so much excitement. This is the last day of our Freshman year. The majority of our class passed, but much to our sorrow some were left behind. September, 1933 — We are now back in school again, prepared to initiate” the “rats of this year. There are only twenty-seven sophomores, nine boys and eighteen girls. Again the girls outnumber the boys. What a job it is organizing our clubs and classes ! Leonard Via was elected as the president of our Sophomore Class. Wc have two Home Economics Clubs. Galilee Smith is the president of one of the clubs, and Anita Yeaman is the secretary-treasurer of the other. Now the old year is coming to an end and A. L. Philpott has sent us this invitation to join him in celebrating New Year’s Eve : Father Time is in a hurry to usher the N ezv Year in, If you want to help him, be at A. L. Philpott’s when he begins For around the zvorld he must go before the New Year is born; Be there at eight, for he won ' t wait, for he must be through before New Year ' s morn. Of course, a goodly number of the sophomores were there when Father Time arrived. We are now through with our examinations, and, as a whole, our class grades and averages are good. Only a few of our members have dropped out, and a few new ones have come in. Again the Seniors are having a play, and their tal ent was not sufficient, so they have again sought out our talented class member, Galilee Smith, to be in the play, “Girl Shy.” Our school year has come to a close with the majority of our class advancing proudly to the Junior Class.
