RALPH LAMBORGHINI CLASS COLORS Turquoise Blue and Silver CLASS MOTTO Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter CLASS FLOWER Talisman Rose e History of the Class of 1936 IT seems strange to say that we - the Class of '36-are history. To sigh and say, Tempus fugit is admit- tedly trite and yet, how better can the thought be expressed? Graduation draws near, and suddenly all the trival- ities of these last four years become im- portant. Before we review the highlights of these four years, let us first list a few facts for the enlightenment of the gen- eral public, that it may not judge us too harshly. 1.. We are semi-depression babes, having for four years nervously tried --with the rest of the country-to round the corner to prosperity. A 2.l Since our Junior High School days- we have hoped that next year IO Temporal O Moreslj we would be pursuing the paths of learning in a new school. Having just missed this glori- ous experience by one year, we can hardly be blamed if our faith in man- kind is more than shaken. -13. We have passed through four years filled with New Deals, knitted suits, musical extravaganzas, and Hoods -therefore we feel that we should be treated with compassion. 4. We are a disillusioned, crest- fallen group that failed in its secret ambition to. discover a fourth dimen- siongs . ' ' ' Now, having placed our cards upon the ancestral table, let us proceed with the history. FRESHMAN YEAR Shades of Lionel Barrymore, what have we here? Proudly we list a few of the dramatic successes presented by our class in assembly: Sardines, Elmer. Moreover, our class spirit manifested itself when the Freshman teams played the upperclassmen. We even developed a class cheer! We also distinguished ourselves in a ticket-selling contest for the operetta, the Pirates of Penzance. Timidly We planned our first class dance-the never-to-be-forgotten Fresh- man Dance held on March 17, 1933- and surprised even ourselves with its success. SOPHOMORE YEAR So joyous were we to leave behind us the ignominy of freshman days that we quite outdid ourselves in our en- deavors. Mrs. Swift's Creative Writ- ing Club lived up to its name and went even further in sponsoring the first Sophomore Hop. Its success prompted the club to celebrate with a trip to Braves Field in Boston toisee a game with Brooklyn. - l
