L' ass flistory The winter months fled swiftly by and soon spring came. These months proved packed with thrills. The first thrill was the choosing of our Senior class rings. Then our junior Class play Another Spring a romantic comedy written by Priscilla Wayne and Wayne Sprague proved to be a still greater thrill. The prologue began in revolutionary days and the proceeding three acts were enacted in the present day. It was a beautiful love story of Nancy-Doris Boehm, and David-Glen Andrews: comedy was furnished by Sugar--Jane Kennedy, and Washington-Pat Tilley, two negro servants who were inclined to be that way about each other. The rest of the cast included Gay, an at- tractive, vivacious rival for David's love-Doris Clausen: Nancyis mother-Janice Garland: Miss Pendergast, owner of an Inn-Jeanne Wilson: Ben- jamin, David's brother-Normand Davies: Nelson Browning, Nancy's fiance-Vernon Wenger: Dr. Morden, a dignified understanding minister--Bill Murdock. Ship Ahoy was the cry of the Juniors. Im- mediately we set to work on the Junior-Senior banquet, carrying out the theme of a ship to the most minute details including gang plank, outer deck with stars, deck chairs, luggage and the Moon, port holes and life savers. It was undoubtedly a banquet that never has or ever will be surpass-- ed. Forty-nine diligent and dignified young ladies and gentlemen entered the portals of Ogden High School to complete the piloting of their ship over the ruggedness of the Senior year. For our pilots, we chose Merle Sherbring, Admiralg Paul Blyth, Captain: and Ruth Erickson, First mate. Our first big task was the freshman initiation to show who's who in High School. The-n came our Class rings, the insignia of the Seniors. Imagine the Juniors' surprise to leam we were hiding in the gym balcony while they traipsed over the country. EXTRA: OGDEN, BOONE COUNTY CHAM- PIONS! What a history breaking event for the Seniors and Ogden High. The Seniors take great pride in stating that every member of the regular team were Seniors. Such a record smashing feat hadn't been repeated since xgzz. However, our victory was overshadowed by the death of our commercial teacher, Mr. Craven. The Senior Class featured as their class play Little Women one of the greatest American Classics, written by Louisa M. Alcott. In rapid succession followed the Junior-Senior Banquet, and then Education day with a tour of the southeastern part of the state, the feature point being Fort Madison. Baccalaureate, Commence- ment and Class day marked the last mile-stones of our joumey through High School. The Seniors chose as their class motto Our ship is at sea-where shall it anchor? There is no doubt that thi ship will find a haven in the port of Success and Happiness. Class flower-Sweet Pea. Class Colors-Aqua and Peach.

, ..,.,..,.A x .3-frm-.'-,.,, J' dass History Way back in the year of our Lord 1936, fifty nine uneducated and unorganized students invad- ed the Ogden High School. History was in the making as this class was the largest ever to camp on Ogden High's doorstep. This clan elected as their leaders Kenneth Webber, President: Normand Davies, Vioe President: Edwin Anderson, Secretary and Treasurer, and as our chief, Miss Hauff. Im- mediately the group set out to conquer Science, Algebra, English, and Home Economics, or Latin. The Seniors took us in hand and attempted to re- fine us by an initiation. However, the attempt was rather futile for we were determined to ex- plore the highlights of high school. Eagerly we awaited the announcement of our first party. At last it came in the form of a skating enterprise at Perry. Due to the marriage of Miss I-Iauff, Miss Dye completed the year as our sponsor. Remember some of the Freshmen puppy-loves, such as Marion Wolber and Lorraine Wright, and when Lu Verne Thiessen's flame was Doris Claus- en? That IS history. We did up our Freshman year in a high way by holding our class picnic at Ledges. Alas! We forgot our weiners. What could you expect? VVe were only freshmen. After three months of roaming the country we again invaded the premises of good old O. H. S. But this year we were sophomores. Maynard Hammarstedt, Junior McMillian, Bonnie Williams, Janice Ohlson, Gladys Campbell, Floyd Hubby, William Shaw and Neva Knickerbocker had stray- ed from our group, but to replace them we cap- tured Janice Garland, Naomi Hicks and Bill Mur- dock. The leaders elected this year were Doris Clausen, President: Dorothy Donelson, Vice Presi- dent: Pat Tilley, Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr. Nelson, sponsor- One of the outstanding social events of the year was the sophomore scavenger hunt that was topped with a party at Mr. Nelson's cabin. How that Irish temper flared when Janice Garland was told to sit in the Freshman rows and she haughtily informed them she was a soph- omore. ' To climax our sophomore year we held our annual picnic at Ledges. After a lapse of three months we entered our Junior year with a much broader knowledge and understanding of the ways of the world. Our num- ber was decreased to fifty-one by the loss of Ruth Lamb. Jeanne Wilson was soon welcomed into our class as a new member. This was a big year! We began by electing Merle Sherbring, President: Doris Boehm, Vice President: Rosella Freie, Secretary land Treasur- er, and we had as our class sponsors, Miss Martin and Mr. Hammond. The first event on our social calendar was the Junior-Senior hunt. Eager and confident we set out to make a record breaking discovery but history repeated itself and the Juniors were un- successful in finding the Seniors. Consequently the treats were on us.
