. 1-pusy III. SS UP 41 Februar When twenty of us from Hillsdale Grammar School entered Room 1 in February. 1937, we were placed under the friendly guidance of Mrs. Stalter. ln order to start high school activities. we elected temporary officers which were later replaced. The following September, Miss Herkart became our adviser. Our Freshman year established us as members of Park Ridge High School. During our second year, after we became accus- tomed to high school life, we went on many enjoyable field trips. Some of our group participated in hoth the Junior and Senior Plays. At the start of the second half of our Junior year, many of our members left us to join other classes. We elected new officers among the remaining seven students. Henry Johnson presided as Presidentg Malcolm Ternent, Vice-Presidentg and Marie Wister, Secretary-Treasurer. lncapahle of completing any large scale activities on our own merit, we heartily supported those of our related September Class. The student group was very active and cooperated in everything of this sort undertaken in order to raise money for the treasury. We held many cake, candy, and apple-on-the-stick sales together with a successful Tea Dance. This coming February, when we leave Park Ridge for different fields, we shall feel the distinct loss of a familiar environment. 15
