Junior Class Officers President ............................................ Vice President ......................................... Secretary ............................................ Treasurer ............................................ Things W? Remember: That September morning ‘way back in '33 which was the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. We began by choosing Ralph Chase as president. That same year we won the Inter-class Basketball Tournament. The climax of our first year’s activities came with our carnival. In '34 we returned to the fold as Sophomores and had a very successful year under the leadership of Charles Hopson. Next came the gradual rise to our present learned estate of juniors, a year full of exciting events starting with the junior play, “New Fires.” We were well re-presented on the basketball floor and football field by Chase, Hopson. Harper and h aughn. occurre(j tj,e cr0wning event of the year, our farewell reception to the seniors which we hope they will remember with as much pleasure as we do. To Miss Glady Wicecarver, our sponsor, we wish to express our appreciation and gratitude for the way she has worked with us to make all of our undertakings successful. We also wish to thank Miss Ora Rush for her work that has bettered our class. We Look Forward To: Entering into our final year of a very pleasant chapter of our lives, into all the glory that goes with being a senior, its play, banquet and commencement. — Dorothy Daly .

A meeting was called by the class sponsor, Mr. Devers, and the following officers were elected: President, Paul Holt; Vice President, Norval Evans; Secretary, George Alliston; Treasurer, Sam Lowe. The class had several meetings during the school term and discussed how to raise money for the various activities they participated in. They had the honor of winning the Inter-class Basketball Tournament. The class enjoyed a picnic at Sabels’ which was held at the end of the school term. Last year, on September 2, the group came back feeling wiser and more important than they did their first year. Mr. Devers was again appointed for their class sponsor. He called a meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Norval Evans; Vice President, Helen Frazier; Secretary, Mary Bernice Parmley; Treasurer, Eugene Nave. The class did not participate in as many activities this year as they did last year. They received second place in the Inter-class Basketball Tournament during this year. The class is growing older and wiser as the years go by, and we hope for a successful future.

The class of ’39 consisting of ninety-two freshmen, completed a very successful year. Sixteen per cent of the members of the class achieved scholastic honors by making an average of A throughout the year. The most enjoyable social function of the year was the annual spring picnic. Page 25 Senior Class History In September, 1932, when fish were biting best, about one hundred and twelve l’eluctant youngsters were steadily propelled through the formidable portals of M. C. H. S. They formed the Class of ’36, and they wondered dazedly why they were fresh-ies. After a few trying weeks, however, the new freshmen were adeptly imitating the sophisticated aire of upper-classmen. They were soon making tracks toward bigger and better things, due to their guiding star, Mr. Ballard, and lavishly gave two parties for themselves. To their class offices they elected Robert Helm, Montague Hartman, Russell Ramer and Paul Mescher. The year closed favorably. Again at the best time of the year when school should be dismissed instead of begun, the 1932 freshmen came trooping back to assume the title of “Si.ly Sophomores.” This year there was no bewildering fog to engulf them, and they entered the race for athletics, scholarship and school spirit, led by their officers, Russell Ramer, Edith Helmantoler, Rebecca Main and Paul Mescher. The 1935 fall term at M. C. H. S. was awaited with eagerness and anxiety. The newly christened juniors accomplished many things of notabi ity, under the able leadership of Miss Atwell and Mr. Sullivan. Those outstanding events were the junior play, “Growing Pains,” a sparkling comedy, and the long awaited Junior and Senior Reception. The officers of this year were Wm. Ford, Margaret Scott, Marjorie Frink and Geo. Miller. The class was liberally supplied with funds by the hard work and willingness to work of every one of the junior students, as shown in their willingness in donating for the luncheon served by the junior class to the County Teachers’ Institute. The unlucky junior boys grumblingly entertained the triumphant girls as the result of losing the ticket selling contest for the junior p ay. They were more than well represented in athletics and several were viewed with approval for the on-coming year. Again the year rolled by and this time, seventy-one boys and girls returned to spend their last year at M. C. H. S. Each knowing this was the last time they would all be together, they determined to make it as gay as possible; consequently a senior picnic was given and attracted almost the entire class. The senior play was “Big Hearted Herbert” and again the fine dramatic element of the class came forth with its best. The senior officers, Robert Helm, Wava Lindsey and Charles Sabel, with Miss Lawrance, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Robert Smith, sponsors, were the best ever. Another high spot of the year was the Junior and Senior Reception at which loads of fun and good eats were prevalent. All seniors commented especia.ly on the tasty menu. Slowly but surely the grandest and happiest year of all has drawn to a close-. The senior gang of ’36 turns toward May 15th with regret, hope and sincere fondness for Metropolis Community High School.

Trip ett Sponsor—Miss Glady Wic carver Motto: “We buitu tne ladder by which we rise.” The Hi-Tri League is an organization for every girl in school. Each girl is in a group which meets at stated intervals duiing school hours, under the direction of the sponsor. There are no pledges, no promises, no dues. The Hi-Tri League is for the welfare of the school as a whole, the community, and every girl in school. In November, girls representing the dilftrent groups attended the Tenth Annual Older Girls’ Conference at Mt. Vernon, 111. This was an outstanding event. Interesting speeches were made by Mrs. Grace Sloan Overton and Mrs. Silas Echols. The Hi-Tri has sponsored various shows, and during Easter gave an egg hunt for the smaller children of Metropolis. The Loyalty Day and Executive Ceremonials are to be given the 8th of May. The mothers of all the girls are to be invited. Page 29 The THIRD ROW: L. Halcom, Wm. Fitchpatrick, W. Hankins, C. Faughn, J.

A large membership and excellent cooperation insured the success of the efforts of the Glee Club. Activities indulged in during this school year included participation in the program for the Massac County Teachers’ Association, the school Christmas program, the Operetta, and the Baccalaureate program The success of the Operetta, “And It Rained,” a modern, light-hearted musical comedy, was due to the splendid work of the cast and choruses and material assistance of members of other departments.

Margaret Scott “Big Hearted Herbert,” presented by the class of 1936, was a hilarious, home-spun comedy of true family life, revealing every emotion, love, tears and laughter. Herbert Kalness, self-made business man, insists that his family must be brought up in the “plain” traditions. When faced with the problems of his daughter’s engagement to a college man and his son’s unwillingness to enter the factory, Kalness flies into a rage. This dilemma progresses until Kalness’ wife embarrasses him by embracing his “plain” traditions literally All is well that ends well as the play does, and the lovers are united and the son’s dream of college comes true. The play proved to be an extra large high-light on the horizon of the year’s activities. Miss lone Lawrance capably directed it, and much of the play’s success is due to her, to Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Robert Smith.

Nothing is quite so humorous as family bickering. “New Fires,” presented by the class of 1937, was a hilarious comedy of wealth, stubbornness and love. Stephen Santry, an author, is at his wits end to know what to do with his familyfwho, he fears, have lost their grasp on the fundamental values of life), and hits upon the bold plan to have them visit at a small country farm he has inherited. The family arrives. Their reactions to farm life arc exasperating. Finally, Stephen issues the ultimatum that all must work foi their food and show willingness to do so. Olive, the eldest daughter, feigns sickness and is treated by the young Doctor Gray. She resents Doctor Gray’s wise council, for she hates being dictated to and claims she hates him. She is, however, falling in love with him Stephen’s son Dick, becomes industrious and works out a new scientific orchard plan. In the resolution of the plot, Olive and Doctor Gray assure their happiness by uniting forces. Anne, Stephen’s wife, realizes her heretofore negligence of him and all go back to Chicago, determined to return occasionally for the simple life. The play proved to be the high-light on the horizon of the year’s activities. Miss Wicecarver was a capable director, and much of the play’s success is due to her.

The Trojan Eleven started the season with a brisk victory over Gleason, Tenn. 31—7, and followed this up by crushing Cairo under their lance 18—0. With such a whirlwind start it looked as though M. C. H. S. would have its best season in many years. On October 4th the Trojans ventured forth to their jinx city of Murray, Ky. This year Murray proved to be an especial jinx, defeating the Trojans 7 to 6, and discouraging them for several games because of the broken leg sustained by Ralph Chase, which kept him out the rest of the season. The next two games were dropped to Cairo and Anna. ... _ . Playing their next game against Eldorado on their home field, the Trojans went out with a spirit of determination and trounced Eldorado by the overwhelming score of 77—0, the largest score made by a Trojan football team in several years The final game of the year was lost to Carmi 19—14. This made a total of three winning and four losing adventures on the great field of football.

Chase’s quick thinking and cool head were an asset to the team. He will be with us next year. Charles “Naughty” Evans, a sophomore, was a cool deliberate player who, while not famous for making points, was an excellent guard. William “Babe” Fitzpatrick, a senior, was a dependable player who played well his position of forward.

Laverne “Flatter” Halcolm, was a fast driving player who made his share of the points. Clifford “Moe” Faughn, who has another year was an outstanding steady guard in second team games, and is really a promising player. Charles “Hop” Hopson, who has another year, was a fast and shifty player. He pepped up the team whenever he went into the game. Russell “Toar” Harper also has another year to play.

For the first time in three years the Trojans went to the Sectional Tournament as a first place winner. Here, however, they lost their first game to Anna by a narrow margin. During the season the Trojans triumphed thirteen times, while dropping only seven games, one of them being an overtime game with Ziegler. One of the most thrilling games was taken from our age old rival Paducah in the last five seconds of the gajne, by a score of 20—19. Brookport 18 .... Joppa 24 ...... Eldorado 40 ... Paducah 19 .....
