ourselves to return in September with renewed interest in the progress of the class of ’36. As sophomores, we elected Roy Bartolomeo, president; Walter Svetanoff, vice-president; Joe Ornelas, secretary; and Stephanie Pollack, treasurer. This year, in addition to our other freshman sponsors, Dr. Robert Shelley was elected to the faculty and to a share in the fortunes of the class of 36. Again the Christmas Pageant cast numbered several sophomores. The annual spring rose sale sponsored by the sophomores gave us an opportunity to show our prowess as salesmen and earned for us the distinction of being “the richest class ' . The crowning event of the year was the Sophomore Hop held on an April afternoon in the new gymnasium. The class of 1936 was beginning to “click” socially. This year the Wallace R. (). T. C. felt the social urge and anticipating the Military Ball took dancing lessons in the portable gym under the direction of Miss Isabella Brown. Our class brought forth an outstanding athlete appreciated by coaches, critics, opponents, and fellow team-mates alike for his ability and sportsmanship—Albert Bodney. Time marched on. The Junior class elected Leonard Hauprich, Anna Fox, and Earl Stout, as president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respec¬ tively. Besides the former class sponsors. Miss Allegra Nesbitt, Miss Rose Richardson, Miss Evelyn Parnell, and Dr. Robert Shelley, Mrs. Gertrude Sparks joined the forces of the class of 36 as sponsor of a register group. We added greatly to our already swollen treasury through the annual orange sale, surpassing all records in the number of dozens sold. Several Juniors had leads in the Christmas Pageant which has come to be a tradition at Lew W allace. “Lelawala” by Cadman was selected for the annual operetta by the music department and proved to be one of the best amateur productions ever given, largely through the fine work of Anne Mclsaac, Francis Plummer, and Roy Bartolomeo under the direction of Miss Marie Volz. The crowning social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, was a great success despite the fine drizzle which persisted during the entire evening. Beauty, romance, and gaiety were prevalent and spirits could not be dampened by mere weather. At this point in our history a talented vocalist, Anne Mclsaac, discovered and grac¬ iously shared her gift with all of us. Our senior year found Roy Bartolomeo again in the president’s chair, Doro¬ thy Knight was elected vice-president; Anna Fox. secretary; and Mary Brek, treasurer. Our sponsors for this year remained unchanged with the exception of Mrs. Gertrude Sparks, who left us to travel abroad. When we saw the Christ¬ mas Pageant for the fourth time it had lost none of its charm and impressive¬ ness. We hope that we may leave this tradition as a heritage to the classes that follow. Another laurel, the successful comic opera, “The Marriage of Nannette”, directed by Miss Helen Egger, was added to our collection. The leads in this production were taken by Stephanie Hrabota, Steve Chicos, Anne Mclsaac, and Clarence Raub. Our high school days were rapidly drawing to a close. The hilarities of class day were appreciated by the group. Little was left unsaid and the foibles of classmates and faculty alike were mercilessly revealed. Bac¬ calaureate sounded a more serious note and found us eager to present ourselves favorably before our community. At last we prepared for the pinnacle of the high school student’s career, commencement. The exercises took place at the Memorial Auditorium as usual and the class of 1936, with a feeling of having achieved much, yet with hearts regretful at the thought of leaving, made its exit from the shelter of school walls and its entrance into the work-a-day world.
