Class History On September 6, 1936 a group of boys and girls, 169 in number, enter- ed the Phoenixville high school for their first year. Clubs were formed and many pupils joined. The clubs were as follows: commercial, dramatic, Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, glee, spelling, orchestra and band. The class next elected the class officers. The result of the election was Harold McDaniels, president, Frank Deger, vice president, Charlotte Graham, secretary. The first dance was held in May in the study hall of the high school. Don Campbe11's orchestra provided the entertainment. Class rings were selected later in the year. The following were on the ring committee: Harold McDaniel, Frank Deger, Leona Campbell, Joseph Montich, Doris Wadsworth and Charlotte Graham. This event ended the year as sophomores. In the fall of 1937 the class entered school to begin the junior year. It retained its class officers from the sophomore year. The junior dance was held April 22, 1938 in the study hall, Clyde Walton's orchestra supplied the music. A student council was formed. The junior members were as follows: James Connors, Robert Edinger, Paul.ine Kabatt, Eleanor Troutman, Mary Elizabeth Voorhees, and Edward Bodnar. The Junior-Senior prom was held June 10, as was customary the jun- iors entertaining the seniors. The decorations represented a South Sea Island scene. Clyde Walton's orchestra again entertained. On September 7, the class began its last year in P. H. S. This proved a most thrilling year. The class dance, held in December, was a financial success. Clyde Walton's orchestra provided the music. The senior class play was held April 20 and 21, in the Junior high school auditorium. The play, Little Miss Dreamerf' with a double cast composed of twenty-two members, proved to be a financial success, pro- ceeds of which were used for the Year Book. On the annual senior trip, May 13, the class went. to the New York World's Fair. Images not available
