'Psa N v in 1 lj ...,,,..-..-T 'S j o Class Hlslor As each September and January inevitably pre- sents itself, the Old Mill receives its cut of raw material. This latest product, we the class of '3 7, is not only up to standard, but has reached the pinnacle of the standards established by the classes of the past. During these three years we as a class have developed from mere children with meager am- bitions into a student body that is representative of the youth of today, embodying a thirst for knowledge of the cultural, technical and literary sciences. Coming from our respective junior high schools, we must have appeared a motley crew of im- petuous juveniles with naught but deviltry for our goal. The plant was prepared for us, however, and we were put through the first step in the pro- duction line. We were advised about curriculums and given an intelligence test. We came in two droves, our advance guard, the January seniors of '37, and the june group, about nine hundred in all. We were placed under the sponsorship of two resourceful and capable women, Miss Ethel Beattie and Miss Elsie Rokahr. During this first period of our high school life we heard much of such minor details as what are we planning to do in later life? However, we gave more serious thought to what we were going to wear at the sophomore party. This party was, by the way, full of humor and pathos. As it was for many of us our first taste of high school social life, I believe that some of us were overcome by ----THE LINKS 1937 -- 2 the weight of the affair and consequently clung tenaciously to the wall. Members of the sophomore cabinet for this class were jean Gosnell, William Weston, Helen Coffee, Elizabeth Groth, Bruce Robb, Dorothy Anderson, Ray Schrader and Homer Labovitz. Considering ourselves well established in high school by February, '35, we gloated with malign satisfaction over the class below us who were our inferiors by a whole semester. At this time the class was granted the right to hold an election of officers and the results were as follows: George Binger, president, Clyde Martz, vice-president, William Weston, secretary and Elizabeth Groth, treasurer. Now we were enjoying the benefits and pleasures of the various clubs that seemed to fit our re- spective inclinations. Those who would dabble in the sciences found a haven in the chemistry club and the Radiolinks and then there were those who would have gone on indefinitely putting mustaches on posters, if they had not found vent for their talent in the art club. Came the fall of '35, and we acclaimed William Kinnamon, president, George Binger, vice-presi- dentg Dorothy Anderson, secretary and Clyde Martz, treasurer. This year the attendance at school activities was greatly increased by the in- auguration of a new system, that of selling to the student body activity tickets with which they were able to enjoy the manifold pleasures of student activities at greater convenience and economy to all concerned. Athletic, dramatic and debating organizations made outstanding records of achievement, the class of '37 doing more than their part. In February, '3 6, Dorothy Anderson was elected to the omce of president. William Kinnamon took charge of the duties of vice-president with George Binger and Jack Hyland as treasurer and secretary respectively. In the dramatic limelight came the presentation of a weird and powerful mystery drama by the seniors, called The Green Ghost. Another dramatic high light, but in a lighter vein, was Dollars to Doughnuts, presented by the Mummers. This semester also saw us proudly marching to the field of blood and honor, the olympics. fWe lost.j There ensued on that day noble feats of strength and bravery, and the juniors failed by very few points to win the affair. With the advent of September, '36, we were all seniors and walked confidently into school with that Today I am a Man feeling. The officers for this semester were Virginia Westfall, president, Dorothy Anderson, vice- presidentg William Kinnamon, secretary, Henry Lorenz, treasurer for the January graduates while chosen to serve the June class at this time were I .
