CLASS HISTORY 'ZJL IS the curtain rises we find that it SGJt is a beautiful September morning in 1933. Seventy-two freshman have just come onto the stage which is the old high school. These freshmen begin to learn their roles, to be accustomed to their teachers, new rules and classmates. As they become more acquainted to their roles their tasks seem much lighter. They are well represented in track, basktball. football, baseball, and on the debate team, in this act. At the Gridiron ball these freshmen receive the good behavior banner. The class is admitted free to the first all school party, as they sell the most copies of the first issue of Laurel Leaves that year. The Freshmen class officers are: president, Leona Willis; vice president, Billy Porter; secretary-treasurer, Catherine Conrad. The curtain falls leaving the present seniors a three months’ interlude to prepare for the second act. The second act reveals the sophomores of 1934, slightly depleted in number. In a contest to determine the class excelling in the sale of activity tickets, the sophomores win triumphantly. Sadie Leichtnam and Arline Cherry win places at the district scholarship meet held in Laurel. The sophomore class officers are: president, Leona Willis; vice president, Clifford Phillips; secretary, Faie Bailey; treasurer. Ruby Weichert. As the curtain rises on the third act of this school play, we find the juniors of 1935 under the supei-vision of Miss Dorothy Norton, who has succeeded Mrs. Stella Knaack who sponsored the class for two years. The scene is changed from the old high school to the new building which has just been completed. The juniors, instead of the customary three-act play produce two one-act plays: “The Pot Boiler,” and “The Teapot on the Rocks.” In the early spring the juniors give the Barn Dance following the school tradition. The annual prom and banquet is given by the class on May 2, carrying out a musical scheme of black and white decorations. This year we find leading the class: Bob Phythian, president; Clifford Phillips, vice president; Loretta Coy, secretary; Dorothy Kircheis, treasurer. The year of 1936 and 1937 is the time of the final act of this play. The seniors are under the sponsorship of a new leader, Miss Virginia Rigney. On December 21, the sen id's sponsor the annual Senior-Alumni Mixer. On May 7, the class pie-sents “A Crazy Mix-Up,” a comedy farce. On May 25 they have class night. This year the officers are president, Bob Phythian ; vice president, Clifford Phillips: secretary, Faie Bailey; treasurer, Eunice Coulter. Together this group has climbed to a turning point in their lives. Some will continue to higher goals and become professional players on the stage of life, while others will prove their merits as good amateurs.
