JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of ' 35 a large group of pupils enrolled as Freshmen in the Monroeville High School. Our class numbered thirty-seven members, com¬ posed of students from fefferson, fackson, Monroe, and Union Tov nships. Our first year at M. H. S. was also Mr. Doty ' s first year as principal. We organized with Betty Coulardot as President and Miss Gladys Klop- fenstein as sponsor. During this first year we encountered all the common obstacles of the green Freshies, but twenty-nine of our original members stood by the ship and safely ended the first lap of the journey. Our Sophomore year was begun with the same number which completed the first year. On the day of organization. Miss Miller was chosen sponsor and Kenneth Hawkins was elected President. This year the members seemed to realize school is not all play, and nearly the entire class enrolled in the Latin class. When the school term of ' 37- ' 38 rolled around, we eagerly returned to school, for since we had first entered high school we had been looking for¬ ward to the time when we would be lolly luniors. School was only briefly under way when we realized the duties and responsibilities of luniors and held a class meeting to choose our leaders, lune Adams was elected Presi¬ dent and Mrs. Elsie Towell was chosen as our adviser. • During the year we had one class party. Our class also had charge of the candy and confection sales, under the able chairmanship of Betty Coulardot. On December 1st and 2nd the mystery play, Hobgoblin House, was given in the school auditorium. The lunior Class has been proud to be represented in basket ball by Kenneth Hawkins, Tom Taylor, and Dick Clay. We also had the honor of having two of our members, fohn Bowers and Ernestine Dunmire, as yell leaders. With the giving of the annual funior Senior reception on April 16, our work for this year was completed. During our first three years v e have encountered many discouraging con¬ ditions, but on the other hand we have enjoyed the intimate friendships of our classmates and teachers. We hope to come back next year with our twenty-four members and with higher aims and ideals than ever before and graduate as a class that is a credit to M. H. S. Page 22

We organized our class with Jean Parnin as President and Mr. Maurice Miller as our Sponsor. Several of our classmates dropped out, but most of us survived the perils of our Freshman year. At the beginning of this year there were thirty-five pupils who returned to school as Sophomores. We elected Carl Linder as our President and Mr. Blauvelt as sponsor. We have had three class parties during this year. The Sophomores are proud of the boys who represent them on the Basket Ball teams. They are; Gene Etter; Donald Dawson, David Bauserman, Norman Sipe, Robert Roy, Charles Coulardot, and Donald Witte. We are looking forward to our next two years of high school with high hopes. As upper-classmen we will have many advantages in studies and in social activities. —Jean Parnin Page 24
