According to them they were not going to stand for it again so they had the party exclusively for Sophomores. The class officers were: President, Roy Archibald; vice President, Jayne Schmitz, and Secretary, Verl House. These people are to be complimented upon the fact that the Sophomores were the best organized group in school during the year nineteen hundred and thirty-five. When the Freshmen entered school at the beginning of the year they soon settled down to the regular routine of the school. They were soon participating on the hghtweight football team preparing to someday play on the varsity, that is 1f they ever grow up. Many of them made up the “C” basketball team and one of the members went so far as to play on the “A” class team. They surprised the school as a whole by having eleven of the group on the track team.

The very clever and well planned Prom was made possible from the proceeds of Junior class play, “Growing Pains”. This dramatic comedy was presented on Friday evening, January 18 in the school auditorium and netted the class treasury a substantial amount. While many members of the class of ’36 were interested in plays, and school social activities, others in the group were to bring the Junior rating to the top in football, baseball, basketball, track, and tennis. The class officers were: Jim Bradley, president; Carroll Justice, vice president; and Josephine Martinelli, secretary-treasurer. While the Juniors were working on school activities the Sophomores were striving to show up the Juniors in every way possible. They started the year by showing the little Irosh just exactly where they came in. This seemed to be any side door. Only a few of the Freshmen tried to enter the forbidden door but they humbly submitted to their punishment. When the Sophomores saw that they had subdued the Freshmen they seemed to feel sorry for them and gave them a big party called the I reshman Reception where they played drop the handkerchief, ring around the rosy, and other similar games. Lorin Hammond acted as master of ceremonies and Herbert Fu- trell, student body president, welcomed the Frosh at their reception. During the year it appeared that the Sophomores had a great desire to dance. As a result of this desire they gathered a group together and with the help of Miss Leonora Bailey started a dancing class. Although any classman can enter this class it seemed to be taken up mostly by the Sophomores. As soon as these young Sophomores had got the knack of dancing they immediately decided to have a party all their own. As the story went the Sophomore boys had been cheated out of dancing with the Sophomore girls when the upper classmen SOPHOMORES Row 1—Cortopasi, Allred, Austin, Cloyd, Cimino, Cereghino, Enos, B.

While many of the Ireshmen were participating in the sports of the school others were working to attain a scholastic record. The class officers elected by this group of one hundred and eighty students were: President, Jack Schmitz, and Vice-President, Max Patterson. Individual members of the various classes combined to present nov- elty entertainment for the student body at various intervals and one of the outstanding groups was the accordian trio. It was composed of three girls: Mabel Mariscotti, Junior; Velda Mae Letoile, Sopho- more; and Myrtle Gustafson, Freshman, This trio had unusual suc- cess and entertained not only for class parties and assemblies, but, also, for outside organizations such as the farm centers and the service clubs. Besides these students there were a number who were organized in quartets, string ensembles and other musical groups which repre- sented the school on a number of occasions such as on Parents’ Night and for the open house program given for the public during Public Schools Week. Among the various groups of musical talented individuals who gave outside performances, was the Boys’ Trio made up of Harrison Catch- ing, Robert Dearing and Dick Hardin. ‘hese boys and Harold Moon also formed a quartette. ‘The Girls Trio, Adeline Cerioni, Helen Hagle, and Dolores Loges also sang.
