CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of '31 first assembled here in Lancaster High School on September 20, 1927. On this day, over two hundred students, who were seeking a higher educa- tion in preparation for their life work, enrolled. We came from all parts of Lancas- ter. This meeting in the High School was like a melting pot, as all of us came closer together on that day. These were our first thoughts: how are we going to find our different rooms? Who will our teachers be? For the next few days we were still trying to answer these questions. We were made to feel that we were just poor green Freshies by the upper class- men. But it was not long until we could get to class on time and find ourselves in the right room. This made school life about fifty percent easier for us. We found out what the sophomores planned to do to us in the tug-of-war at Rising Park. After it was over, we knew that they did not exaggerate things a bit, for we went thru the pond twice. Our spirits were dampened for a while but we soon forgot our defeat. We felt the success of our class depended on efficient officers, so a meeting was called and the following students were elected: Joe Bemiller, president: Pearl Crooks vice-president; Thurman Tobias, secretary-treasurer. We cnose Mr. Conrad for our advisor. Many of our classmates turned out for football and basketball. Good teams weic later developed from this material. About this time, the freshman were looking forward to the Field Meet. We finished fourth in this meet but hoped to make a better record later on. Our May Queen Attendant was Evelyn Featheroff. The final struggle with our examinations now took place and we were freshman no longer. So ended our first year. On September 4, 1928, our second year of school was begun. Everyone was glad to get back to meet old friends. We followed the routine of enrolling for our classes this year easier than before. The class was anxious to get organized. We called a meeting and the students elected Wendell Butcher, Robert Chapman and Feme Selders for president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer. Mr. Clark was our advisor for tnis year. The first social event was a Halloween party held in the gymnasium. It was quite a success. After our mid-year examinations were finished, we were ready for another social function. Even though it was very cold, we planned to have a winter picnic at Rising Park. We were served “hot-dogs” and fresh air, mostly fresh air. The basketball season was now in full swing. The Sophomores made a good show- ing in both the girls' and boys’ games. The Sophomore Girls’ Team won first honors and were named the Inter-mural Champions. We elected Virginia Strong for May Queen Attendant. The middle of our high school career was approaching and to make a fine finish in our Sophomore year we won third place in the Field Meet. On June 7, the school picnic was held at Buckeye Lake. In the autumn of 1929 we returned to Lancaster High for our third year of instruc- tion. Since we were now Juniors we had the priviege of reporting downstairs. Our first meeting was called and Joe Acton, Jeanette Singery, Richard Belhorn and Ruth
