---1 The Cycle Tl The First Twelve are the Hardest 1927! This date will linger eternally in the history of aviation, but to a certain number of us, composing the class of '39, it likewise brings memories of our first school days. In September, 1927, as lively, ambitious little lads and lasses, we began our weary toils and struggles for an education. In June, 1939, sixty-three of us wrote finis to our high school education by receiving our diplomas cer- tifying that we are learned men and women. Fourteen of us began the quest for knowledge at the local grade school and were classmates and pals for all twelve years. The future Senior Class of '39 made many acquaintances and enrolled many more I-will-be-Presidents on the eight-year stretch of grade school. Then we began to imagine that we should shoulder some of the responsibili- ties of life, so we began to grow up. One bright September morning in the fall of '35 a record-breaking class of ninety young freshies entered the Halls of Higher Learning. We could eas- ily be identified by the tell-tale locker keys dangling from key rings, for, yes, we kept our valuable books locked safely in our lockers. Being a large class, we felt privileged Cand even talked back to the SENIORSD until this was taken out of us by an official initiation and Mr. Richard Vlleaver displayed his ability as a photographer. Nevertheless, we elected Lloyd NVoodruif to keep up our morale as a very faithful president and our class had some good prospective athletes and scholars. Our second year we came back with vim, vigor, and vitality and helped initiate the lowly freshiesf' Dwight Pierce was chosen president of our class and we settled down to a year with diligent application of the brain cells, having an unusually large number on the honor roll. Some of the brighter pupils even learned how many parts All Gaul was divided into. Every student greatly missed Melvin Hicks, our classmate who became ill with infantile paralysis. Our third year was full of events! Robert Slifer fulfilled his office of president very capably. The entire school entered in a magazine sales con- 1939
