At the very first class meeting, besides electing officers, the class and its sponsors began planning a trip to Washington, D. C., in 1940. The first all school project in which the freshmen participated was the sale of basketball tickets. The class won the contest and added five dollars to its bank balance. On November 17 the class enjoyed its first skating party at Bel1's Rink. ln December the freshmen voted to follow the tradition of their school and give an all school Christmas Party. The party was held in the new auditorium which had just been completed. ln the fall of 1937 seventy-six students enrolled as sophomores. At the regular class election Melvin Hoevel was elected president: Carroll Ramsey, vice president: Gerald Gabet, secretary: and Marie Augenstein, treasurer. Miss Daniels, Mrs. Redman, and Miss Walters were asked to help direct the activities of the sophomores. On September 16 the class arid its sponsors enjoyed a campfire weiner bake in Schnelker's woods, The first real social event of the class of 1940 was held in February in the form of a theater party at the Emboyd in Port Wayne.

This business netted the class a substantial profit which was added to its bank account for the proposed trip to Washington. Puyr TIl'I'Il1Q'-Eflfflf
