Senior History Act I As the Class of '36 made its debut at Mount Baker High School in September, 1932, is was little more than a disorganized group of frightened freshmen. After the first few weeks in which they were duly initiated by wearing short dresses, carrying dolls and the like, we settled down to the serious business of studying. From an unorganized group we became organized with Ross Ha.m1in as president, Anna Henderson, secre- tary, and Miss Garland and Mr. Olmsted as advisers. To start our high school career out with a bang we almost immediately presented the skit An Old Fashioned School as our part in the Hi-Jinx. The rest of the school year went along without any special events for the freshmen until eighth grade visiting day when we presented our first program and Class Day when we became the Sophomores. INTERMISSION Aci' Il At the beginning of the second act almost all of the stage fright which we had experienced in the first act had disappeared and we enjoyed watching the mistakes of the frosh. Our leaders for this act were Eugene DeVisscher, president, Shirley Rogers, secre- tary, and Miss Kirby and Miss Garland, advisers. We again entertained the eighth graders with an amusing program, the main feature of which was a play, The Dummy, featuring Bill Wilkins, Percola Kope, Joe Von Euw, and Dorothy Champman. So we became Juniors. INTERMISSION Act III As the Class of '36 appeared for a third time we were under the leade1'sl1ip of John Scutvick, president, Bob Brockway, vice-president, Jeanette Nyland, secretary, and Miss Nelson and Miss Kaufman, advisers. The evening of December 7 we presented our highly successful play- Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington. The play portrayed the life of a seventeen-year-old boy, WVillie Baxter CEugene De Visscherj and his love affair with the baby talk lady, Lola Pratt CNVilma Hoffmanj. Willie's perplexed parents were Bill VVilkins and Persola Kope, while Jane, Willie's little sister fAlice Caleyj, made Willie's life miserable by always appearing at the wrong time. May 3, the Class of ,36 entertained the Class of '35 at the annual Junior-Senior banquet and prom, carrying out the Dutch idea with flowers and windmills. So ends another act! INTERMISSION Act IV Our last act began uneventfully except for the usual freshman initiation which even we dignified seniors enjoyed. Our directors for this act were James Snitzler, presidentg Eugene Sumner, vice-president, Alice Miller, scretaryg and Miss Schlauch and Mr. Beighle, advisers. Our class has been well represented in all of the activities. The A. S. B. President, Stanley Gibbs, the vice-president, Eugene DeVisscher, and the business manager, Bob Brockway, are all from our class. We have been equally well represented in athletics, both boys, and girls'. On April 17, we presented our senior play, It Pays to Advertise. Mr. Martin fJames Snitzleri, a wealthy soap king, made a wager with his rival and friend, Mr. Clark, that his son, Rodney fEugene DeVisscherl could make more money in a year than could Ellery Clark 6Pat Rileyj. Mary Grayson CLucille Grenierl, Martin's secretary, invents a scheme to make Rodney want to work-and does it succeed! VVith the help of Ambrose Peale tJack Ruchtyl a great advertising campaign is conducted. The French countess fPercola Kopej complicated matters for awhile, but by the time the play ended every one agreed that lt Pays to Advertise. The future holds a Pirate banquet iso we hearj, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Thus the curtain closes on the Class of '36, XVe have had a very successful four years, and we are looking forward to even greater successes as We continue on our separate stage careers. Nia:
