V In the fall of 1934. nineteen freshmen awkwardly shuffled to their designated section in the assembly room. When the writer used the term (awkwardly) he was merely in a reminiscent mood and recalled the boy in the front seat. He believes they called him “Gordie.” Mr. Taylor, who was also a freshman to the faculty that year, sponsored the class through that period of adjustment and re-adjustment. The freshmen had their allotted two parties during the year and the only casualty occurring during the first year was the loss of Edith Johnson and Jack Nelson from the ranks. On the return to school in the fall of 1935. the class was disappointed to find that Darlene Anderson, Wayne Halsey and Frances Spar had deserted the brilliant class. During the Sophomore year the class enjoyed the sponsorship of jSup. erintendent Andrews, who supervised their ‘‘hare and hound hunts and roller-skating parties. As Juniors. Mount Hope showered the class with five noble desciples of learning, namely Sara Black, Anna Marie Donlavy, Velesta Kunz, Bern-lece Hana, and that “son of the soil,” Glenn Jenkins. Battle Creek gave to Meadow Grove High School a very able student in the personage of Dar-denella Sesler. The activities of the class for the year centered most strenuously a-round a colonial banquet for the honorable tSeniors of that year and the play, “Girl Shy,” which was most ably directed by Miss West, the class sponsor. The Senior class of 1937, under the sponsorship of Mr. Taylor, completed a very successful year marred only by the abdication of Vernon Dear-min. The class sponsored the production of a high school annual, which will always be a monument to their memory. They also gave that gruesome mystery play, “Drums of Death,” which proved to be an outstanding success. At the roll call on graduation day. the seniors of 1937 numbered twenty-one members. Three of the original class had been snared by the field of matrimony with a life time’s position, that of making a home. Thus ends the class history of the class of thirty-seven until they e-merge to the surface of that larger sea of life. XT
