ir if ir 1935 ir 'A' ak our OF THE FILES OF PAST ln june 1931 we ambitious boys and girls closed the doors of Felton Grammar School behind us, since our work there was successfully completed. Our great success at building, due to the very capable guidance of our Master Craftsmen, filled us with enthusiasm to continue this work at North Tonawanda l-Iigh School. Full of determination for success, we began in September to put our shoulders to the important task ahead of us. It was quite difficult for us at first, because of our inexperience with the new tools, algebra and biology, however, with Mr. Wells and a large group of Master Craftsmen to assist us, we soon over- came these obstacles. During our leisure hours, some of us showed interest in the school by taking part in the activities. We enjoyed ourselves at every club meeting and wouldn't have missed one for the world. What fun we had dodging the pranks of the Upper Classmen! Sometimes we failed in our attempts, but at least, we showed them they couldn't fool us all of the time. After our june finals and regents were passed, we joyfully surveyed the foundation and framework which we had accomplished in one year. Although the framework of a building is invisible when the building is completed, we realize its importance, because it serves as a base for future work. After a restful vacation we returned full of energy and happy to continue work. Again we had to get used to new tools, but we were so enthusiastic that we soon overcame this difficulty. I-low glad we were when our hours of labor were shortened, and we had more time for activities. We certainly did take advantage of it. Miss Coman, who retired after many successful years of teaching the use of the Latin tool, was replaced by Miss I-laughwout, the quiet, dark-haired Latin Craftsman. lt is with regret that we recall the leaving of Football-coach Dowd, who made winning teams for us, and kept them in that condition during his six years at North Tonawanda. I-Ie gave us a victory over our rival Tonawanda, which had not been beaten for many years. We shall always remember Mr. Dowd as one of the best coaches we have ever had. ln june we looked with pride on our accomplishments for the year, for we had one-half of the building completed. This year gave us invaluable experience and instruction for the two remaining years. Only two more years of work and our building would be finished. At the beginning of our third year, feeling so superior with only the Seniors above us, we decided to elect officers: President, Edward Boyer g Vice-President, William Richards, Secretary, Thelma Rostofer and Treasurer, Earl Papke. So many Freshmen entered this year that the two-session idea was used. We could no longer pester the poor Freshmen because they went in the afternoon after the Upper Classmen had finished. Football-coach Humphries was heartily welcomed as the successor of Mr. Dowd, and every- one felt certain he would prove himself to be an able coach. I-Ie has taught the boys not only some excellent plays, but also good sportsmanship. Even some rivals have stated what good sports our boys are. This was the last year at North Tonawanda for Mr. Wells, who always kept up our enthusiasm and urged us on in our work. We shall never forget what he did for us and shall always think of him as one of our best friends. In june we again proudly viewed the building which was completed, except for the finishing touches which would be added during our Senior year. The last is the best of all. We certainly discovered the truth of that statement in our Senior year. In fact, it was so much fun that we dreaded the thought of leavingg but all good things must come to an end some time. We were overjoyed at the arrival of our smiling, new l-lead-Master Craftsman Mr. Lowry, because he was so friendly and we felt certain he'd do all he could for us. Two other craftsmen were also beginning work here for the first time. Miss Zielinski, small, dark, leader of harmony, came to us from Alabama State College to take the place of Miss Coletta Smith. Through Miss Zielinskfs efforts, we had excellent Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies. Mr. Tussing, our former band leader, was replaced by Mr. Cyran, a man full of excellent experience in this work. I-le too has proven himself to be worthy of his job. On September 26th, between four and five o'clock, the mothers of Seniors and the faculty were enter- tained by the Senior girls at a silver tea held in the cafeteria. Marjorie Clayton entertained with a few selections on the piano, and Thelma Rostofer read. About this time we began to think of the money necessary for the Annual, and we decided to have the usual candy sale to raise it. This sale gave us not only a large amount of money, but we also had a good time trying to sell more than our friends. Because of our success with this sale, we made plans for another. This one also helped considerably. Then, we tried to sell magazines, and although we weren't very successful at it, the results helped in a small way to fill the treasury. A roller skating party was held at Dexter's Roller Rink on Saturday, March 23rd. A large crowd attended, and a good time was had by all. Some of us took a few spills, but we didn't mind, it only added to our fun. Boxes of candy were given to the most graceful skaters, but some of us were wishing there was a prize for the worst. On Friday and Saturday evenings, April 5 th and oth, we presented our play Growing Pains. The play was given two nights because of the great number of tickets sold. This was the first time in several years that the Senior play was given two nights. lt was a success in any sense of the word, proving Miss Zielinskfs ability as a director, and the students' ability as actors. In a month or so we shall be leaving dear old N .T., since our work here will be finished. I-low proud and yet how sad we'll feel when we receive our diploma. May we never forget the words of our Alma Mater, but always keep them in our hearts to urge us on to success. ELAINE WIENKE, Class Historian. 3 3 S E N I O R S
