Class History of 1939 On September 3rd, 1935, seventy-three bewildered Freshmen began their high school career. However, the original number has diminished to fifty-five, but we hope that what we have lost in number, we have gained in quality. The very thought of four years (or more) of high school made us panicky, but being under the guiding hands of Miss Munnell and Mr. Crowell, we managed to get along quite well. Our social functions were a Hallowe’en Party and a class picnic at Cascade Park. Our class officers were: President, John Stranahan; Vice President, James Rhodes; Secretary and Treasurer, Martha Tunstall. As our class colors, we selected green and gold. The following year, then being Sophomores, we were able to walk more independently. The class officers were: President, James Rhodes; Vice President, Harry Fennick; Secretary, Mary Alice Elder; Treasurer, Clee Wright. We, in turn, entertained hospitably the other classmen at our Sophomore Party. This year we welcomed to our faculty two new members, Miss Rocks and Mr. Bowles. In the fall of 1937 we entered, as Juniors, assuming our responsibilities, aided by Miss Miller and Miss Mumaw. The duties were given to Howard Gregory, President; James Rhodes, Vice President; Anna Beth Gregory, Secretary, and Virginia Nelson, Treasurer. This year we selected our class rings. The success of the Junior Play, “Growing Pains”, was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Mumaw. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the result of the money received from the play. And now, Seniors. John Stranahan is our President; Sam McCurdy, Vice President; Charles Ringer, Secretary; Earl Wardle, Treasurer. The Senior Play, “Seventeen,” was prsented December 8th and 9th. The past four years our boys have well represented us on our football and basketball teams. We have not only participated in athletic activities, but also in literary activities, and our members are well represented in the orchestra and band. The past four years have gone too rapidly; yet, we have changed. Working and playing together we have developed, we hope, into more mature, better balancd personalities. For this we are grateful to Mercer High School. Mary Alice Elder, Pearl Campbell. PAGE TWENTY-TWO
