O N R O L O THE PROGRAM CLASS HISTORY, JANUARY CLASS 1927 A red-letter day early in September heralded the first curtain of the class of January, 1933. Local and out-of-town newspapers made little mention of the fact. Now we were full-fledged Monroites,- we sported shiny brief cases (not discarded until senior high) short pants, and yo yos (or weren’t yo yos invented then?) According to the Monroe Life, two seventh graders were found in the basement look¬ ing for Room 500, and a State School Board inspected the new cafeteria building and praised it highly about this time. We saw our first senior play on November 18, when It Pays to Advertise was pre¬ sented with Jack Kimble and Marguerite Weiner in the leads. Do you remember when the first of our many revised constitutions was adopted in December? According to its authors, the new document gave students control of every student activity in Monroe. 1929 Well, well, how time flies! Here we are in September, 1929, members of the Junior Corps already. (The editor forbid us to make any cracks about the Junior Corpse . Moreover, if you were writing a class history, you might skip a couple years too.) We had our Junior Corps elections after a quorum was dragged around to the meet¬ ing. For the boys, John Chapman was chosen president, Donald Lewis, vice-president, Jack Park, secretary, and Ralph Sullivan, Social Chairman. The girls elected Margaret Kellner, president; Jean Cannon, vice-president; Marie McWill iams, secretary,- and Dorothy Weiner, social chairman (or is it. charwoman?) Students’ Association elections also: MacRussell, president; Louis Teall, vice-presi¬ dent,- (do you recall Hal Young’s nomination speech?) Nat Arnot, secretary,- Bob Burnam and John Keeler, cheer leaders. We held our first Junior Corps dance October 25 in the boys’ gym, after a series of dancing lessons. Cider and doughnuts were served,- it was estimated Tom Plumb drank thirteen glasses of the former. Preparations for publishing the little red book , otherwise the Monroe Handbook, were under way. The little red book contained information about just everything in Monroe. A few more of our aspiring classmates achieved fame about this time: Laurence Edel- stein as standard bearer, Lila Benedict as daughter of the flag, and Stan Levey as a Monroe Life reporter. Three new societies were formed in October and November: A Committee to Devise Ways and Means for Girls to Powder their Noses, the Committee for the Reinstatement of High School Football, and a club formed by Bob Reed and Art Rosenbloom whose pledges carried around the members’ brief cases for two or three weeks. 1930 We presented a gala and sparkling revue before Junior Assembly on Moving-Up Day in January. The program featured several novelty numbers and a bevy of beautiful girls as a chorus. Our big day came on Janu ary 24, when we graduated before a throng of parents and friends. (Do you remember walking across the stage foryour diploma? What an ordeal!) A play The Bellman of Mons , a speech of welcome by Margaret Kellner, and pre¬ sentation of the class gift (an institution now in hazy memory) featured the event. TWENTY
