'flesltman Class History As we wander through the halls and look into the doors of our rooms, we wonder “Could it be we who entered that door the first day of school?” Gee, how self conscious we felt when we went into the wrong rooms and when we got our classes mixed up. We saw each other blush when the teacher spoke to us. Oh, unhappy day! But now we think, “H-m-m. I’m just as good as any Sophomore, Junior or Senior. I'm not the least bit bashful now. But underneath our skin, aren't we?

£opL otnoie ttistol V We were so frightened as we entered the front doors of the school last year. The teachers and upperclassmen looked like human monstrosities for the first few months. But by the time for Christmas vacation they had settled down to normal size. We elected officers for the coming year about the time when things were halfway settled. We elected Cecilia Viazanko ......................................President Jim Hamilton .....................................Vice President Helen Kelso ...........................................Secretary Robert Ringer ........................................ Treasurer LcRoy Knapp.......................................Representative Bv February we were all excited for we were planning our first party. We spent all day fixing our decorations of red and white streamers in the ceiling. They certainly were tricky. We brought our skis and ice skates to help decorate the fireplaces on either side of the loom. Two cotton snowmen survived the heat of the excitement very well. The orchestra was called 1 lie Four Aces.'' Those red and white dolls pinned on conspicuous places were the souvenirs. We had a lot of hard work before the last of school came and then we packed our picnic baskets ami were off to Conneaut Lake. Most of 11s hail never been there before and were filled with new delights. As we entered the front doors this year we looked scornfully down at the Freshmen having the same experiences that we had last year. We were far more settled this year when we elected Duke Hinds ...............................................President Helen Kelso.........................................Vice President Jim Hamilton .............................................Secretary Ray Moon..................................................Treasurer Being much braver we entered into many more activities such as Varsity Basketball, and Mixed Chorus. We also had an excellent party. This was called the “Victory Dance” hut for more definite information turn to the Party Section. Easter has come and gone and now we arc settling down for a hard grind before the final wind-up 111 June. Cecelia Viazanko Duke Hinds -fKL

Our class had 116 members to start with but we’ve lost some of them. We began right by electing capable officers who were: Rose Zigo.............................................President Thomas Harris ...................................Vice President Ella Brown............................................Secretary Lee Cotton ...........................................Treasurer Later we decided on our class colors which are green and white. As our English class got under way and we became awfully intelligent, we formed an English Club, under the direction of Miss Lafferty. Likewise we formed a Civics Club with the help of Mr. Spigelmycr. We are proud that our class was very active—participating in many activities. Our class was very ably represented in the band, Junior Varsity and many other organizations. When anyone wants to give a party all they have to do is let us know. Our Freshman party proved that we are good party throwers because ours was a really nice party and a big success.
