P.A.l-l.S. QMEMOIRSO CLASS OF'38 Class History N the early part of September, 1934, the stillness of the morning was suddenly broken by the familiar peals of a bell, which meant only one thing-vacation time was over and the school term of 1934-35 was about to begin. To many students it held nothing new or thrilling, but to a certain 110 of us returning to school it was something always to be remembered, for we were now Freshmen and our heads were held high with the new dignity and honor that was descending upon us. Throughout the year we strove to main- tain the standards. but we must admit that sometimes it was very diiiicult. Finally the school term drew to a close and with it our iirst year as high school students. As We left for our summer vacation, we all looked forward eagerly to the coming year, when as Sophomores we would at last be recognized as a class. The summer vacation drew to a close and again we went back to school, this time as Sophomores. But now there were only 78 of us returning to continue our education. On September 30, 1935 was held our iirst class meeting with Miss Bonney in charge. The fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Angelo Guidog Vice-President, Arthur Amy, Sec- retary, Betty Luggg Assistant Secretary, Betty Hurd, Treasurer, Helen Lobb. On October 22, a meeting was held for that most important duty, the selection of our class ring. Af- ter some discussions and disagreements, we finally decided upon a beautiful ring that suited everyone. The first activity of the Sophomore Class was held on January 10, 1936 in the form of a roller skating party at the Bangor rink, Almost before we realized it, our Sophomore Year had drawn to a close and on our return to school, it would be with the higher dignity befitting to Juniors. Our first Junior class meeting was held on October 13, 1936 under the supervision of Miss Shannon. Oiiicers for the year were elected as follows: President, Ralph Couchg Vice-President, Myron Kimbleg Secrtary, Dorothy Luggg Assistant Secretary, Ruth La- key: Treasurer, Arthur Frey. In january our class enjoyed a skating party at the Bangor skating rink with a large number of the class attending In April the junior girls attended a tea at Moravian College for Women. In May was held that event in which juniors rule supreme-the Junior Prize Speaking Contest, which proved a laborious task for all con- testants. Finally, as the year drew to a close, the climax of all Junior events arrived, the Junior Banquet. It was held Wednesday, june 9, at Buckhill Falls Inn, and it was a happy occasion. 11
