LOG OF THE CLASS OF ’37 The class of '37 started on their high school educational voyage in September, 1933. It was quite a different experience from any previous one so it took a few days for the newness to wear off. Admiral Krall with the assistance of Commodores Munnell and Crowell did their utmost to make the beginning an enjoyable and pleasant one. All were satisfied except, possibly, when classes changed and we new passengers, called Freshmen, nad to keep from under the feet of the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. When the routine had become fairly established, we elected our class officials who were as follows: President, Howard Narlee: Vice President, Martha Robinson; Secretary, Mary Barnes; Treasurer, Joe Nelson. When the close of the first six weeks rolled around some of us decided the voyage was a little rougher than we had anticipated. We were introduced to the Mercer High School parties when the Sophomores entertained at Halloween. In the spring we were well represented at the annual Music-Literary Contest. A grand exhibit, representative of all classes, closed the schedule of activities, and school closed with a picnic at Cascade Park. After a three-month vacation school again convened in the little red boat. The Freshmen of the past year moved up the ladder a step and called themselves Sophomores with Miss Robinson and Mr. Patterson as commodores. When roll was called it was found that several of us had strayed. Our newly elected officers for the second year were as follows; President, Howard Narlee; Vice President, Donald Black; Secretary, Leona Klumph, and Treasurer, Robert Richardson. In keeping with precedence, we Sophomores entertained with a party at Halloween. Without exaggeration, we think the party was the tops. We introduced a modern orchestra in place of the traditional canned music. In May we again took part in the Music-Literary Contest held at Greenville. The voyage ended with an enjoyable picnic at Memorial Park, Grove City. Although the third year of our voyage was more difficult than the preceeding two, it seemed to the Juniors one of the most enjoyable years of our educational program. For our officers we chose the following: President, Donald Black; Vice President, Jesse Reznor; Secretary and Treasurer, Martha Robinson. That year we had Miss Miller and Mr. Hettinger, our commodores, to thank for helping to make that year a success. 30
