CLASS HISTORY Dear Freshmen of ' 37: So you are about to enter this noble institute of learning to take our places as small, green, unimportant Rats. Don ' t let us discourage you, but you will be rushing around wondering if you are on the right floor, getting into the wrong rooms, and wishing that you had somewhere to go during study period so that you could parade down the halls as the upper-classmen do. The one consolation is that you will have only four books to carry. We are going to enjoy ourselves next year watching your inferiority complexes grow as ours did. We are going to watch with amusement your trembling knees and pleading eyes when Mr. Workman comes upon you sud- denly and demands your names. When you leave you will either be a better girl or boy or will have a feeling that he suspects you of something. Our class numbered 564 students and early in the year we elected capable officers to lead us on the right paths. Norma Baxter was our president, Nancy White, vice-president, Cleo Lochas, treasurer, and James Crooke, secretary. This year might be called reorganization year since two very important features of the school were started again — the newspaper and the Glee Club. We were very proud to have star reporters like Norma Baxter and Billie Ehlerding represent our class on the paper. The Carnival was a big event for us with Betty Archer, Ann Lewis, Nancy White, Norma Baxter, Paul Morres, Billy Champlin, James Crooke, and John Monroe our maids and knights. Elsie Merritt was class representative. See that you ' re humble rats next year for that ' s the only kind we ' ll tolerate. Doubtfully yours. The Class of ' 39 Dear Sophomore Class of ' 38: We know that you will want your Sophomore year to be as grand and glorious as ours; therefore, we have decided to write you again. Perhaps from hearing about our honors and experiences you will receive inspiration to work hard and attempt to surpass us. At first we might have seemed a little cruel to you, but, you see ,it was a great day for us when we were no longer called rats and were looked upon with a little more respect. Naturally, we had to express our su- periority in some way. Our egotism was raised even more when two from our class were elected to be officers in the Dramatic Club — Norma Baxter, vice-president and Charles Kephart, treasurer. You have probably learned that good class officers are a necessity. If you have as good officers as ours you will have nothing to worry about. Frank Shields was president, Pat Noble, vice-president, Jean Fisher, secre- tary, and Elsie Merritt, treasurer. Our hearts swelled with pride when the Tigers won nine out of ten football games this season and when the Glee Club won first place at the West Florida Music Festival in DeFuniak. This festival was the first of its kind to be held in Northwest Florida. Another honor for our class was that Grady Gatlin won first place in the Azalea Essay Contest. When the best time of every year — the Carnival — finally rolled around our class was represented in the royal court by Jean Fisher Elsie Merritt, Thelma Abbott, Dorothy Crow, Pat Noble, Charles Kephart, David Russ Carroll, and Frank Shields. We hope that you will have as much fun as sophomores as we did. Yours superiorly. Class of ' 39 Dear Juniors of ' 39: We, the Juniors before you, would like to leave with you our splendid career as an inspiration to help you do your best. You ' ll need inspiration to help you conquer geometry! In the first place we elected good officers to guide our class. Pat Noble was president, Frank Shields, vice- president, Billy Champlin, secretary, and Dolly McCaskill, treasurer. With officers like these any junior class could reach the top. We were well represented in the clubs in dear ole P. H. S. also. Norma Baxter was treasurer of the Dra- matic Club, Winifred Shone, secretary of the Art Club, John Monroe, secretary of the Hi-Y Club, and Terese Frenkel and Cleo Lochas were two very faithful workers on the staff of the Tiger ' s Tale. Our Tigers distinguished themselves by their remarkable ability in sports — in football, in track, and espe- cially in basketball by winning the West Florida championship. Our class was well represented on the teams. The carnival was the next big event of the year, the time for fun and laughter. Our lovely maids and handsome knights were Louise Harriman, Barbara Langford, Marion Fell, Dolly Drew McCaskill, Bill Langford, Julian Olsen, Glen Albino, and Charles Davis. Billy Creel was class escort. Muriel Dilger set a new record in typing for P. H. S., making fifty words a minute. That ' s a challenge to all you typists. Class Day came and we felt very important when the senior president presented us the ax together with all senior privileges and responsibilities. Lots of luck to you in your junior year! May it be as grand as ours. Hopefully yours, Class of ' 39
