During the first semester we had the misfortune of losing three members of the class: Isaiah Litwiller, Leland Butterbaugh, and Hilda Brenneman. At the be- ginning of the third six weeks Margaret Ihrig joined us. She moved away at the end of the first semester. We chose our class officers as follows: Presidents ics Sai ee ce ee cee Nadine Bontrager Vice President Morris Swartzendruber Secretary-Treasurer Darlene Fry In December the Freshmen and Sophomore classes presented a play entitled “Waiting for the Trolley.” A We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three, have resolved to make the best better.
