—ODO—ILO—ZE LOC l r—n Oh dear! I guess I must be dreaming, for it seems to me that i’m ’way beck in 1937 A. D., and forty greenhorn freshman have Just entered into room 31 to embark on the first of four of the best and unforgettable years of their lives. After a week or so, the new position we had acquired became familiar and so we settled down, with Mr. Lindsay presiding as the faithful listener to all our pro- blems. Eddie Ramik became president with William Demchuk as secretary, and Antone Mileska was chosen to be guardian angel over our newly-started fortune. On October 12 we enjoyed the first of our social events, a Halloween party, which was followed by our first assembly program on January 12th entitled Taking Father’s Place . Before we realized it, the term had passed, and Mary Ambroski succeeded Eddie Ramik as president, Violet Fisher was elected secretary, and Antone Mileska continued to be treasurer. June finally saw, a happy group finishing the first year of high school with a gay picnic at the bay. An eventful sophomore year then followed and, after losing some of our green- ness, we bagan a second year in room 26 with Miss Payne as our advisor. Walter Wells became president, Dic Stack, Vice-President and Theodore Grohoski, treasurer. Home- room periods when everyone talked at once, humorous assembly programs, and a June pic- nic at which many of the teachers indulged in games of baseball, tag and riotious fun made it an unforgetable year. It was a sunny day in September when we filed into room 26 to become studious and serious-minded juniors. Miss Parrish now became our companion as well as a help- ful teacher, and Walter Wells held the presidential seat for a second term, with Mary Ambroski, treasurer and Anna Demchuk secretary. Our thoughts were ever turned to as- sembly programs. Junior rings, and the gayest event of the year. Junior Prom. After much deliberation we finally decided that May 29 was to be the date, and the setting would be based around Hawaii. With a successful Junior Prom now only a happy memory, we began our last year as uristocratic Seniors. With many important problems facing us, we chose for presi- dent Anna Demchuk, Mary Ambroski as treasurer and Dean Tutnill, keeper of the high fi- nancial records. With the help of Miss Hoyt, our new senior teacher, and with Miss Arndt as director, we began plans for the first big event, the senior play, entitled It Runs In The Family , which was followed by a successful minstrel show. As Easter vacation drew near, none too soon, we were off on our New York-Washington trip. 10
