Standing on the threshold of a new enterprise, we were going to attain the goal for which we were fighting. As our Freshman year passed, leaving its mark on us, we became accustomed to the new subjects and ways of learning. We are moving slowly forward. The first twenty-five yards were gained. Miss Thomas and Mr. Kilkuskie were added to the faculty our Hrst year. During our Sophomore year we reached the half-way mark. The operetta Iolanthe was presented this year with quite a number of our members taking part. Here and there we saw Sophomores peeking through the ranks of great athletes. Miss Holman, Miss Chesko and Miss O'Don- nell were added to the faculty our Sophomore year. Now, as Juniors, we find the athletes that were merely peeking the previous year, at the top of the rank. Two boys held regular positions on the basketball team and five were first-liners on the bootball squad. Also as Juniors, the min- strel, Land o' Cotton, was presented by the Juniors under the supervision of Miss Ryan and Miss Ball. Then, too, the Juniors have shown in other extra-curricular activities. One of our feminine members ranked very high in Pennsylvania in extemporaneous speaking. An athlete in our class created a new regional record in the half-mile race. The Junior Class is proud to include among its members two popular singers, who have sung over the radio several times. Although our Junior year was about over, we accomplished our purpose and a class meeting was held, with the following results: President, . . ,EDWARD DZIADOSZ Vice-Presialefzt, .JOHN GABUZDA Secretary ..... HAZEL SCHLEGEL Treasurer CHRISTINE CATTELL In addition to the election of officers, the members of the Junior Class selected class colors. Lavender and White were chosen as emblematic of the spirit of the Class of '37. Having com- pleted the regular business of the Junior Class, we are turning our attention to serious studying as we look forward to the future. With three-quarters of the way gained, we are waiting, looking back reluctantly, but for- ward with eagerness. We are lined up in position now, looking across at our goal. One-quarter of the way to go! With one more year of train- ing we hope to gain that yardage and then we shall be ready to face the knocks and tackles that make up life. -HAZEL SCHLEGEL. -SARAH TULIN.

Looking back into the history of the Class of ,38, we find that as our first year passed we became loyal supporters of our Alma Mater and with sincere interest we gained recognition by participating in many curricular events. In the way of assembly programs, we sponsored a few, two of which were the Thanksgiving and Val- entine's Day programs. The latter, entitled, Valentines, Comic and Serious, was a huge success, having been directed by two members of the faculty. We were well represented on the Honor Roll, and the Orchestra, Band, N uggezf, Football and Basketball teams and Choruses, all boasted many members from our class. Successfully completing our first happy year, we came back in the fall of nineteen hundred thirty-five with an air of the experience and assurance of a Sophomore, to spend another year with our Alma Mater. We resumed our former duties and positions with much vigor and pep. A keener interest was shown concerning school affairs. This year the members had charge of the Columbus Day and Memorial Day enter- tainments. The Nugget now boasts of six Soph- IP omores. We have still held our rating on the Honor Roll. Extra activities have always been well at- tended and enjoyed. Our school,s Varsity Bas- ketball and Football teams have listed a number of Sophomore champions. Chorus members also rend more credit and honor to our class. Debates and class meets have shown the literary side to members. A Creative English Club, formed for the purpose of bringing together those who had a tendency to blossom forth in words, produced some fine specimens of fruit. Musical talent has also been proved by the members adding to the Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Choruses, and it is the wish of all that these members will continue to take an active part in school activities. Two winning years have proved our rank and prestige. We firmly hope that we shall con- tinue our aim and become worthy alumni of our dear Alma Mater, and we join in congrat- ulating and wishing our sister class the best of everything in the worldg hoping that she will always remain honest and upright, and loyal to our Alma Mater, and we hope that we, too, and all future classes, will follow in your footsteps and revere the ideals set by you. -MARIE D'AM1co. -DOROTHY KLEIN. age 75 1
