Page Twenty Glass Histm, By JAMES SNYDER fAssisted by Annabel Kennard and Bill Morris! FRESHMAN YEAR Well! Well! This is the beginning! In other words, this is where WE came in! On Tuesday, September 8, 1936, we, freshmen, joined the ranks at Princeton High School. Our class sponsors were Miss Duncan and Mr. Pittman. Being of sound mind and able bodies, but not knowing what it was all about, we, nevertheless, managed to make ourselves known. We accomplished many things while we were freshmen, however, we will pay tribute only to those most outstanding. In the local Latin Contest, Martha Helen Byrne won first honor. Others to place in this contest were Katherine Dosch, third, and Juanita Huffman, fourth. In the County Latin Contest, also held in Princeton, Martha Helen Byrne placed third. On April 9, 1937, the Debate Team, of which Don Almon was a member, lost in the state finals 3 but was recommended for the National Debate Tournament held at Jacksonville, Illinois, on April 13. On April 16, 1937, the District Band and Orchestra Contest was held at Sullivan. Our orchestra won first place in Class B. Soloists Bill Hitch, cornet, and James Watkins, violin, won in first and second divisions respectively, and on May 7, in the state contest our orchestra placed in second division for the first time, with Bill Hitch, cornet so- loist, placing in second division. On May 14, 1937, an election was held for the Student Council of 1937 and 1938. Those elected from our class were Martha Helen Byrne, Wilma Jean Shine, James Peck, and James Watkins. James Peck was the boy elected to the Athletic Board, and the girl chosen was Mary Brines. SOPHOMORE YEAR On entering school in the fall of 1938 our class felt more a member of the family of Princeton High School. On November 5, 1937, the Student Council visited the Evansville schools. Among those attending were our own James Peck and Wilma Jean Shine. They visited Bosse High School. It so happened that on the same day the Masquers elected its class officers. To lead us in dramatics our sophomore year, Mary Brines and Don Almon were elected president and vice-president respectively. Other officers elected were: Judith Miley, secretary, and Juanita Huffman, treasurer. On February 11, 1938, the local Latin Contest was held. Doyne Laib and Adrian Kays entered in Division II, and on the twenty-fifth they entered the County Contest. It was on March 4, 1938, that the P. H. S. Debate Team, of which Don Almon was again a member, won the district meet. However on March 18, they lost the zone debate to New Albany. On April 29, at the Band and Orchestra Contest at Cannelton our band was placed in the first division of Class B. Our orchestra also placed in first division of Class B. Our band and orchestra won trophies for being the best playing band and orchestra in the contest. Soloists who placed in first division included Lois Armstrong, flute, and James Watkins, violin. On the twenty-fourth of May our band and orchestra were awarded a second division rating at Elkhart, Indiana, in the National Contest. Certain members of this sophomore class had already become outstanding stu- dents. These students advanced because of their ability, and by ways and means which only sophomores could possess. Scholastic honors went to Don Almon. Wilma Jean Shine was elected by the student body as the Princeton Tigers' Football Queen. Of the three yell leaders, two of them, Judith Miley and Juanita Huffman, were from our class. We elected James Peck as president and Lois Armstrong as vice-president of our class for the next year. James Watkins was elected secretary-treasurer. For the Student Council we chose: Lois Armstrong, Margaret Boren, Juanita Huffman, Mary Brines, James Watkins, Adrian Kays, and John Fitch. Betty Brownley was elected to the Athletic Board. JUNIOR YEAR Duly pleased that we were just one step behind the seniors, and full of school patriotism, which made us feel proud and haughty, we, as a class, looked forward to more successful undertakings than in the past. Ah! More responsibility on our should- ers! So Help Us! Wow! The Debate Team, of which Don Almon was captain, won the district meet on March 3, 1939, and entered the zone debate on March 7. After winning that meet also, they entered the state meet at North Manchester. However it was at this point that our team was defeated by Shortridge of Indianapolis in the final contest. On April 21, at the District Band and Orchestra Contest, our band and orchestra both placed in the first division of Class B. At Bloomington, where the state meet was held on May 5, our band and orchestra won in second division in concert work. The orchestra was presented a trophy for the best appearing orchestra of the contest, while the marching band was placed in first division. The junior play, Well Met By Moonlight, was our way of showing our acting ability on the stage. We thought we were good, too!!! The cast consisted of: Mary Brines, Bill Morris, Bob Stormont, Betty Brownley, Maxine Wilson, James Fields, John Fitch, Thomas Fisher, Marion Herod, Lois Armstrong, Margaret Boren, Marilynn Par- rett, Katherine Cargal, and Lois Whitman. -four
