The 1939 Laurels Class History On September 21, 1935, a group of eighty-three were the first to enter the new high school as freshmen, just as green as all freshmen are supposed to be. Being modern, they boarded an airplane to make their journey through high school as fast as possible. Under the supervision of Miss Wold, as sponsor, and Boh Freund, Rosemary Spcckeen, and Esther Lais as capable assistants, the class sailed along like a feather in a breeze making one grand stop to hold a freshman all-school party on April 24. I hey finished their first year with heads high and ready for a three-month vacation. When school started in the fall the class roll had dropped to sixty-eight. Miss Wold and Bob Freund took up the difficult task of leading them over some very rough ground with Doll Nelson and Rosemary Spcckeen lending their assistance. The plane sailed on without a mishap or stop until November 13 when they were hosts at an all-school party. Again they took to the wing and sailed on until March 6 when their trip was saddened by the loss of one of their members, Robert Crow. When they met for the third tear the crew settled down, sure of a bust year. Again Miss Wold. Bob Freund, Dolly Nelson and Rose-mar)’ Spcckeen led the aviators. On November 19 they presented a mystery play, “The Black Derby, with Doll) Nelson and Bob Freund playing the leading roles. The crew was kept busy selling concessions at all the games and on March 9 gave a real old time barn dance. And then it was spring and time for the grandest school affair of the year. On May 14 they played hosts to the Seniors at the annual banquet and Junior Prom. hen the plane next took off they began to realize this would be their last trip aboard the grand old ship Laurel High. They chose a complete new crew with Miss Byrne leading them and Dolly Nelson, Homer Wheeler, Esther Lais, and Marjorie Smith aiding her. On Armistice day they gave a short pantomime, “Memories of 1918. And on Decemlrcr 23 they sponsored the annual Senior - Alumni Mixer. Early in February they began work on their memory book and on May 5 the) put on their second class play, “The Patsy,” a three-act comedy with Marjorie Dix and Arthur Albright in the leading roles. On Mat 13 thev landed for the last time to be honored at a prom and banquet given bv the Juniors who would soon take their place. Their trip was over but there were just a few finishing touches to be added. Class night was held on May 25 in the auditorium and on May 26 the class of ’39 met for the last time as a group for one of the events that would remain in their memory forever. Graduation. The 26th of May, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, a group of forty-four Seniors bid a sad adieu to good old Laurel High.
