cious auditorium to choose class oHicers. These leaders were Llewellyn Iobst, pres- identg Mary James, vice-presidentg James Gillespie, secretaryg and Robert Clark, treasurer. A tremendous job was undertaken by these students and was ably handled throughout the school year. After the stability of the class was determined a staff was chosen by the class to publish a Cauldron which was to serve as a log for our educational voyage of yes- terday and today. In response to the need of funds to publish the Cauldron, the Class of 1935 presented a play, Captain Applejack, which was a success from a dram- atic viewpoint and defrayed the expenses of the Cauldron. During this year, further distinction and honor were brought to Liberty for its success on the gridiron in that it produced a State Co-Championship Football Team which displayed on the field the skill and determination that prevailed in the class- rooms of the school. Those few who attained special merit were given special honor. Betty Stead was selected valedictorian, and Sally Ann Geissinger, salutatorian. Llewellyn Iobst was elected class speaker, and Mary James, faculty representative. On May 10th, the Class of 1935 was given a reception by their lower-classmen, the Class of 1936. Early in June the Alumni held their annual social and business meeting to which the Seniors were cordially invited as guests. This delightful recep- tion acted as a reunion of all previous classes, and the Class of 1935 was received as Alumni. On Sunday, June 16, 1935, the class assembled in the beautifully decorated auditorium to participate in the Baccalaureate service at which the Reverend W. Sherman Skinner, Pastor of The First Presbyterian Church, delivered the sermon. At an impressive and colorful graduation service, the class members received their diplomas, certificates of achievement. At this outstanding event, Albert G. Rau, Ph.D., L.H.D., LL.D., Dean of Moravian College, was the speaker. The class speak- ers delivered their orations in an impressive style. Scholarships and prizes were awarded to students who attained high rank. This event brought to a close the high school years of the Class of 1935. We, as a class, feel that we have caught the spirit of Liberty High School, and as we have striven for its welfare while in school, so, since we have finished, we. will ever be true to her, and count our school days as some of the happiest of our lives. With this feeling in our hearts we extend to the Class of 1936 our best wish-as for success in their future achievements. twenty-eight

--793 Senior Class History N an eventful day of September, 1932, as animated Sophomores we gazed curiously and admiringly upon the stately walls of our future Alma Mater. Emboldened by the businesslike and cheerful inhabitants within, we entered hesitantly into the vast corridors where we were gradually initiated into our respec- tive homerooms after much excitement. Eventually, we made numerous acquaintances and assembled for thc election of four commendable leaders to guide us through a year of unquestionable hardship. The leaders were Louis Orban, presidentg Joseph Ardinger, vice-presidentg Ruth Pazzetti, secretaryg and Thomas Priola, treasurer. In due time each spirited young person was participating in some literary club or athletic activity to bring new laurels to his school. The ten months of school were happy ones but exceedingly diflicult because it took time to adapt ourselves to the new environment. During the vacation period we scattered in all directions, but with one thought in mind: to develop our bodies and refresh our minds for the common school term. In September, with renewed vigor we set out to develop our mental capacity to a greater extent. After renewing acquaintances, the class of 1935 assembled in that very familiar auditorium to elect its class officers. These new leaders were VVilmer Behler, presidentg Ruth Pazzetti, vice-president, Mary James, secretary, and James Gillespie, treasurer. In December we received either a class ring or pin, which gave a tangible sym- bol of our school days. We returned from the Christmas vacation with great zest, eager to gain greater laurels in the field of knowledge. In order to become better acquainted with our lower-classmen, the Class of 1934- sponsored a social which promoted a proper admiration in the lower-classmen for the distinguished Seniors. Various social organizations of the girls of the Class of 19341 sponsored a Dutch Treat to which the Classes of 1934 and 1935 were in- vited. This served as a prologue to the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The major social affair of the year, of course, was the Prom with its color and gaiety. We were proud of our success and happy that we were able to please our upper-classmen. Vacation time presented itself and with it the dethronement of the Junior Class. During the summer months great anxiety prevailed in the thoughts of the students of the Class of 1935 for the time when they could enter the stately portals of Liberty High as dignified Seniors. I I On a September day this moment was realized, and the Seniors felt a new sense of responsibility and ambition. Consequently, the Class of 1935 gathered in the spa- twenty-seven
