Only four members of the graduating class of 1940 were on its rolls in 1933 when that class made its debut on the campus of Nichols. They are A. Bretschger, S. Thompson, C. Wertz, and Sikes CWe cannot give his initial as we know him only under the affec- tionate sobriquet, Stocky J who left us for awhile to return a few years later. The class in the following year was enriched by the acquisition of J. Richmond, and E. Roth, and one year later by M. Cooley, G. Houck, D. Whitmer CDestined in the course of time to head the Charities Committeej, and D. Prophet, of whose presence we were unaware until a considerable time after his arrival. When the class entered the Upper School its roster included six new names: B. Anthone, H. Harrison, P. Mugler, H. Neureuter, W. Penseyresg and later Cin Marchj the brilliant J. Hurley. The sole entrants in 1937 were W. Jones and E. Lasserg but 1938 brought us an accretion of which any class would feel proud: G. Goetz, E. McGuire, G. Wadsworth, N. Sullivan, and W. Rockwood, all of whom kept the flag flying in extra-curricular activitiesg and R. Arnold, R. Davey, E. Smith, and A. Hill who did yeoman's service in Athletics. H. Graves and Stocky completed the list. Seven members of the class, H. Conners, S. Eby, R. Ferguson, A. Leous, G. Robinson, J. Taylor, and C. Thompson were with us for one year only but had time to demonstrate the ease with which the human being adapts himself to his environment. Finally a post- graduate year was spent in the class of 1940, by G. Batt, D. Coley, H. Cheyney, R. Pleuthner, and J. Tracy.
