Wa HILLTOP ECHOES 7 Class History Four things a person must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow-men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely. —Van Dyke. One beautiful September day of 1932, seventy-five young “upstarts” burst through the doors of Lodi High School and established themselves in rooms eleven and twelve. Under the supervision of Mrs. Behnke and Mr. Loomis, these young Freshman spent part of the year adjusting themselves to high school life, and little they realized how fast the time would pass until the title of “Seniors” would be theirs. Since their work was taken under the same teachers as the upper classmen, they felt that they were on the same level. How little they realized that vast difference there would be between the accomplishments of the Freshman and those of the Senior year. The year 1933 saw the enrollment decreased a little. Mr. Martin was the teacher in the sophomore home room. Various pupils began to show their abilities and apti- cudes. The boys made a showing in basketball when they organized the team called the “Comets.” The members of this team were: Richard Kucinski, Leonard Falconer, Earl Patterson, Robert Leatherman, Judd Leatherman, Harold Clark, and George Pandur. The junior year brought many more activities. One of the highlights of the year was the class play, ‘(Here Comes Charlie,” which revealed much latent dramatic talent. The cast of characters included: Doris Keener, Ralph Hoover, Judd Leatherman, Ear] Patterson, Dorothy Behnke, Wilson Newell, John Gamble, Dora Snell, Maxine Yergin, and Ethel Egner. Another big event of the year was the annual banquet which was tendered to the seniors at the Odd Fellows Hall, May 19th. Supervisors for this year were Miss Tittle and Mr. Loomis. And next came that eventful year when they were to leave their dear Alma Mater for a new adventure. Their supervisors for the year were Miss Mowry and Mr. Roehm. Following Mr. Roehm’s resignation, Mr. Engleman assumed charge of one group of seniors. The last dramatic affair was the Senior class play on May 8th. The name of this dramatic affair was “Page Asa Bunker” and was coached by Miss Mowry; and at the time of going to press had not been presented. On May 22nd the Seniors “spiffed” up in their best bibs and tuckers, frills and ruffles to be entertained at a banquet by the Juniors. All the Seniors journeyed to the church on May 24th for the Baccalaureate service, and Commencement services were held May 29th at which time forty-three Seniors were given diplomas. There was keen competition for high scholastic honor which resulted in awarding first place to Jack Reed as Valedictorian and Wilson Newell as Salutorian. A number of students were successful in making the honor roll during their four year course. These were Dorothy Behnke, Hollis DeLong, Ethel Egner, Esther Falk, Ralph Hoover, Dorrine Sanders, Doris Keener, Judd Leatherman, Wilson Newell, Earl Patterson, Jack Reed, William Seeley, Gale Towslee, and Myron Voorhees. William Cotton went through high school without missing a day of school and only one day since he started in the first grade. He was the only pupil to do this. 17
