1939 MEMOIRSB Class History I On September 7, 1935, the quiet morning air was broken by the ringing of school bells, calling the boys and girls of Pen Argyl back to school and pro- claiming their vacation days at an end. But to 120 of us boys and girls it meant more than the mere beginning of another school term. It meant that we were now Freshmen and had become at last a part of the Senior High School. So it was no wonder our faces were beaming with pride and importance, as the Hrst day of school began. Our Freshman year was rather uneventful, but during that time friendships were formed that bound us all more closely together and laid a foundation for the three happy years to follow. The nex-t fall 96 of the same boys and girls came trouping back to school, all ready to begin their sophomore year. A few weeks after school began, our class was organized with Miss Bonney as our adviser and with the following oflicers elected: President, Donald Sandercock, Vice-President, Thomas Bavaria: Secretary, Lola Cory: and Treasurer, Keith Harding. In November occurred the most important event of our Sophomore year-the selection of our class ring. Vlfe chose a beautiful ring that is highly prized by every member of the class. During the winter months, several roller skating parties were enjoyed at the Bangor rink. Soon spring was drawing near and with it the completion of our new school. The class wanted to make a contribution, and so a number of interesting books were purchased for the library of the new building. A few months later our Sophomore year came to an end. On September 8, 1937, the third year of our high school life began. At our Hrst class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Richard Fedong Vice-President, Dominic Rondinelli: Secretary, Elizabeth Hontz: and Treasurer, Clair Harding. The adviser of our class was Miss Shannon. Two parties were enjoyed during the year, one on Hallowe'en and one on Saint Pat- rick's Day. In March we journeyed to Lafayette College and received great pleasure from seeing the play Macbeth Then, in May, occurred the two greatest events of every Junior year. The first was -the banquet at Buck Hill Falls, at which every member of the class had a delightful time. The second was the Prize Speaking Contest, which was held on May 20 and brought the activi- ties of our Junior year to a happy and successful close. Then, on September 7, 1938, 75 boys and girls began -their Senior year. They were happy on that first day of school, proud of their new exalted rank NINE
