CLASS HISTORY'fCOn'tJ ping from the newspaper which stated that we would have an extra week of freedom. We soon found that the delay' in the installment of a new heating system was at fault. A new janitor, Mr. Trumbull,was the efficient attendant of this furnace. Thne again had marched on and taken its course. Mr. Martens had taken the position of Commercial instructor and Mr. Cummins had decided to try his hand at teaching music. lFate had seen fit to rob us of four more of our mem bers. This made a huge vacant spot in our class and we hated to face the year without them. The four missing links were Bernard Wilhelm, Andrew Sterling, Donald Neiling and Floyd Durliat. This year Bob Bruce acted as Class President, Jim as Vice President, Helen Wagner as Treasurer, Betty Cody as Secretary, Dale Richardson and Theone Reimer as Student Council and Miss Nye as Class Sponsor. Eater on during the year, Mary Tyler moved away. The play NReady-Made Family was produced and it certainly proved to be a huge financial success. The proceeds of course were used for banqueting the Seniors. Our banquet was given in the Legion hall in Bowling Green and the success of the' evening depends upon the opinions of the Seniors of 1936, however, we were well repayed when they gave us the honor of marching in with the Seniors on the night of Baccalaureate. We were also glad that various members of our class had been remem- bered in the last will and testament of that year. Then, after three more months, ithe goal of our school life seemed more like a reality. Two new teachers appeared on the scene at this time Miss Daniels replaced Miss Hanawalt in the Home Econom- ics Department and Miss Snyder replaced Miss Nye as Eng- lish, Latin and French teacher. Marcella Schwab failed to appear at school this fall. Dale Richardson was elected President, Jim Baumber- ger as Vice President, Dorothy Dowden, treasurer, and Miriam Leiendeeker, Secretary. Agnes Drummer and Bob Bruce were elected as Student Council Members and Mr. Brand'as Class Sponsor.

S 'ml CM11.'roN'1,LxND ------5- CLASS HISTORY icon' ty us for green wood theyfd have some pretty wise ashes, so to speak. I believe that we weren't such a complete fail- ure that year because the intelligence test grades at the end weren't so entirely disheartening. Due to lack of funds our school closed in the later part of April this year. Even if our vacation did extend over a period of four months we soon stood in the door of the study hall once more trying to find the desk which would shelter our belongings until Mr. Brimmer saw fit to move us to a more restricting position. This year we found a few changes in our school. Opal Richmond had moved, Mr. Bricker had given up his place as Commercial teacher and we found that Mrs. Sparks was to fill the place. Miss Goughlerfs place as Latin and Eng- lish teacher was filled by Miss Nye and in two weeks Mr. Brimmer gave up his position and Mr, Daniels entered our school as the Science Instructor. This year Jim Baumberger held the position of class President,Theone Reimer was Vice President, Miriam Leien- decker was Secretary, the Treasurer was Agnes Drummer and the Student Council was Herbert Emrick and Mary Tyler. Mrs. Sparks served as Class Sponsor. A few of our group felt far less harassed this year due to the fact that the faculty contained only five mem- bers instead of the usual six. Since the school treasury was long since depleated our music instructor, Miss Crass had been released. I believe that anyone will testifyto the lost feeling among the pupils with the knowledge that there would be no choruses that year. At the beginning of the second semester, we found another vacant chair in our class. In checking over our former list we found that Bill Harshman had dropped from our ranks. Our class was getting to the age where we hat- ed to see any one drop out because a year and a half had been accomplished and we had begun to realize that none of it was in vain. School was again dismissed in May. The biggest share of us, however, realized that we wouldnft have felt so faint when we looked at those grade cards had we concen- trated more the night before the final examinations. As September lst neared we happened to notice a clip- C'1937Dff-----

QMILTONIAN CLASS HISTORY CCon't5 On top of all of the other Senior undertakings, we decided to edit an annual. Ifll pass over this lightly. I hope that each and everyone of you will appreciate our intense and untiring efforts. We certainly hope that our work was not in vain. The Senior Class,along with the Sophomores and Jun- iors,captured the county trophy in the one act-play con- test. ' The Juniors next treated us to a wonderful banquet. I feel certain that none of us will ever forget our most fervent thankfulness for this affair. The three-act Senior Play was entitled NHobgoblin House . This prooved to be another crowning success in the lives of some of us. Baccalaureate was the next Senior event. We all appreciated the sermon very much and I am sure we all profited by his remarks. Tonight we are presenting the annual class night. Little can be said of its success. The audience should always be the judge. Thursday night this seventeen shall march to the stage as a class of Milton High School. Even before the evening is over we shall pass from this stage as has- beens or as just another few added to the long list of alumni. Bearing this in our minds it is, for some with heavy hearts and some with light, that we stand on the edge of the cliff of life not knowing which way we will go but wherever or however, we may go, I'm sure that each and everyone of us will carry a warm place in our hearts for M.H.S., just as the classes before us have done, --by Theone Reimer C'l937D ----H
