v Three Base Hit The fall of 1932 was a most important one in the minds of twenty-five pupils for this was the year they were to enter that new world known to them as High School . Our class officers for this year were, President, Willis King, Vice-presi- dent, Lois Jordang Treasurer, Betty Jene Carr. We were called green freshies by the higher classes at that time but probably there was sufficient reason. Before the term ended we had lost three good students, Sylvia Hartman, James Derringer, and Raymond Spangler, but still our class had the others in the high school outnumbered. Seven of the girls took part in basketball to help build a team for future years. Five boys took part in football and ten in basketball. In the year of 1933 we again drifted in the doors but not the same group for each one had grown to be a better looking person. We had gained two new mem- bers, Robert McVey and Josephine Dukes. By the end of the year we had lost three classmates, Mildred Hall, Helen Sampson, and Lloyd Skeeters. We were again represented in athletics, both boys and girls. Our class off'icers for this year were: President, Aulton Wagnerg Vice-president, Betty Jene Carrg Secretary, Lloyd Skeetersg Treasurer, Maxine Light, Reporter, Maurine King. At the beginning of the Junior year we realized that more responsibilities were ours to assume. Also our studies were more difficult compared with those of pre- vious years. We gained one more student, Maxine Inbody, making a total of twenty- two Juniors. Our class officers for this year were: President, Robert McVey, Vice- president, Willis King, Secretary-treasurer, Mary Louise Whislerg Reporter, Mau- rine King. Our class was very well represented in basketball and football this year with nine boys and eight girls in basketball and nine boys in football. Several good parties were held during the year and were well attended. A good social time was enjoyed with our schoolwork, making school more interesting. We Juniors showed our ability to act in our play The Hoodoo presented on April 5th, 1935. Miss Thomas, who had been our class sponsor for three years, directed the play. We entertained the Seniors at a banquet which was very successful. So long till next year. Juniors of M. C. H. S. Maurine King and Maxine Light Top row-V. Crow, I. Strite, W. King, R. Coleman, A.

Seniors Have you ever felt inspired To write a little poem About your classmates' characters And call it all your own? As I pick up my pencil, It isn't hard to see Our little tomboy Mary Climbing up a tree. As I keep thinking quietly, It isn't hard to view Our little friend Marsella With some definite task to do. I'm sure you'll all agree That Betty is a pal, Maxine is what I would call An all-American gal. Esther-now I must think My adjectives are few, But if I'd call her happy, Wouldn't you do it too? I'm thinking of a true friend, Do you want to know the name? Why, of course, CeLesta You all would say the same. My pencil starts to shaking When I think about the boys, But what would 'Cory ever do Without their boistrous noise? I can easily picture Donny When the teacher asks a question Say- Oh, I thought you wanted Nusbaum To give that recitation. But when the teacher wishes to Hear Don Nusbaum recite, Donny start to talking And keeps up until night. And there is Burnette Powell- I'm sure I wou1dn't lie- If I said everyone thought him The shiek of Cory High. Did you ever know anyone That knows most everything And still has time to play about? Well, that is Norman King. Don Would you believe me if I said The Sophomores think that Charles Guin is enough to make Their hearts go pitty-pat? As I try to picture Arlo, I got this kind of view- In actions he hasn't changed a bit These many school days through. But when I think of stature I only say dear me, I never thought that one could change From a boy into a tree. Andfnext comes what you are waiting or Your hero, Charles Striteg When I say he plays football, I'm only expressing it light. And then I think of Sonny- Earl is his name- But he's so very little You nearly forget the same. Richard Bowersox, Dick for short, Is of the quiet type But please don't misunderstand And think it isn't right, Because he has a friend With the same name as he And also same in character, Richard Moyer don't you see. Please don't let me forget The curly haired Roy Crow, As I said his hair is curly But always just so-so. And last but not least I have a name in mind, Frank Balister, oh don't forget, He is the joking kind. And as for myself I'd just as leave forget That I ever existed And let it go at that. And now my dear classmates I must say good-bye, And hope you will forgive me If I have told a lie. Opal Edinger

Two Base Hit Top row-R. Radabaugh, R. Hartman, R. Crawford, W. Westall, M. Stout, L. Flath, H. Wilkins. Middle row-D. McVey, A. Lee, L. King, B. Steininger, R. Bowersox, L. Reese, C. Collert. Bottom row-D. Powell, E. Inbody, J. Dukes, N. Geren, H. Welty, H. Frantz, Miss Swab, Sponsor. On Friday, September 8, 1933, twenty-three green and hopeful Freshmen re- ported in full regalia to be duly initiated as students of Mt. Cory Hi. In a more subdued manner the twenty-three newcomers began a busy year. At the first class meeting Nathan Geren was elected president 3 Angeline Lee, vice-presidentg Raymond Hartman, secretary-treasurer, Dorotha Powell, reporter, and Miss Swab was chosen class sponsor. The class was well represented in athletics and all other school activi- ties. Feeling the necessity of social life as well, a weiner roast was held early in the fall at Sheldon Hall's, a Christmas party at Wayne Miller's, a taffy pull at Raymond Crawford's, and at the close of the year a weiner roast at Botts Grove. During the year the class lost four members: Wayne Miller, Edith Nique, Clara Hartman, and Sheldon Hall. In September, 1934 the class was augmented by three new members to add to another group of unsuspecting Freshmen on the night of initiation. They are Mae- donna Stout, Wayne Westall, and Edwin Inbody. Again the members are becoming more outstanding in school activities and working hard selling popcorn to earn money for the class. The first social event was a weiner roast held at the home of the sponsor, Miss Swab, later Leah Mae Reese entertained the class in her home, and a New Year's party was given at Ruth Bowersox's. The following officers served this year: President, Leah Mae Reese, Vice-president, Nathan Gereng Secre- tary and treasurer, Angeline Lee, and Reporter, Ruth Bowersox. We feel if our next two years are as sappy and eventful as the past two have been our life in Mt. Cory High School shall always be a treasured memory. Polly Leah Mae Reese I have a bird, his name is Polly, Can he swear? Oh, yes, by golly. He jabbers and talks all the time, And the things he says is sure a crime. I took him to church one day, And placed him in the choir. Everything the preacher said, Polly would say you're a liar. When I took him home that night, I put him in the attic, out of sight. He cussed everybody blacker and blacker, But usually makes up when you give him a cracker. Nathan Geren
