Senior Class History P'1 After many hardships suffered in the west part of town, the Pilgrim Fathers broke away from the Elementary School of Learning and sailed for the East where they hoped to gain entertainment freedom. They landed on Plymouth Rock, later known as Prince- ton Township High School. Shortly after landing, they signed the famous Mayflower Compactf' which pro- vided for a Governor and three assistants. That first year in this new land, they chose Tony Maidlnent to fill this high position, Ruth Nelson recorded the events of the year, and Johnny Becker was appointed Secretary of the Treasury. They had been told that this new America was a land of entertainment freedom but after being here a while they learned that there were many hardships to be encountered in order to gain that freedom. They did manage to have two parties, which were obtained for them through the efforts of the only real friends they had in this country, Miss Turner and Mr. Lowry. One of these parties would have been a picnic but the weather man delivered rain in great bucketfuls that day. The Indian Tribe, known as upper classmen, tor- tured many of the Fathers and made their life very uncomfortable. The second year the Pilgrims started to gain more independence. This alarmed King Senior and he tried his best to keep them under his control. However, they could not be controlled as easily as the King had hoped. They chose as their Governor for this year, Robert Kopp. His helpers were Keene Hasenyager, Helen Hartley, and Martin Larson. The social events of this year were really something to become alarmed about. The first party was held in October and it- was acclaimed a great success. The Sophomore Banquet went down on historical documents as the best in the history of P. H. S. The Colonists were no longer called Pilgrims but were distinguished from other settlers as Those Juniors? They had as their Governor this year, Virginia Alpaugh. Edward Rolander was First Assistant. Paul Johnson was Secretary and Frances Pomeroy, Purser. By this time their freedom was almost attained. It started with the Junior-Senior Faculty Reception. Then came the Post-Exam Jubilee, still better than last year's party. Then, the play of all plays so far in the history of this country, The Gypsy Trail. The climax of the year was reached with the staging of the Junior-Senior P1'om at the Country Club. And then came the J unior-Senior picnic with sunshine and all. The next year the Class of ,341 chose again Robeit Kopp as Governor. His Assist- ant was Tony Maidment. Helen Hartley was appointed Treasurer and Martha Sehulhof, Secretary. The year was again started with the J unior-Senior Faculty Reception. The class party at Christmas time honored the football heroes. After that came the Carni- val, which gave Princetonians a glimpse of the VVorld's Fair in their own back yard. Another play, this year Officer GGG, was presented before a record-breaking audience. The Junior-Senior Prom came May 11 and then the picnic which ended the year's activ- ities and closed forever High School social life for the Class of '34. On June 8, came graduation, which was the Declaration of Independence for those landing on Plymouth Rock in the year 1931. -VIRGINIA ALPAUGH is s ' Q 1? CQ Z? -ef 'J' 1- .

H. S. and eyed the notori- ous place suspiciously, the Class of '35 have taken their position as one of the liveliest classes there ever Was, is, and ever Will be. After the Frosh!' became accustomed to the teachers and the daily routine, they actually acquired a look of business-like independence and kept quiet long enough to organize their class, under the supervision of the Class Advisers, Miss Parr and Mr. Shaffer. The officers who quic-kened the business cells of all the Freshmen brains were the following: President, Dan Finn, Vice President, Glen Newburyg Secretary, Ralph Hayesg and Treasurer, Marion Powell. The outstanding event of the year was the Get Acquaintedn party, at which the Freshmen became so acquainted with each other that the music could not be heard above the din of affectionate voices. The Freshman pic- ture was one of a riot of color! The second year in P. H. S. found the Sophomores a mixture of liveliness tinged with a deeper responsibility which, all in all, was a delightful and practical combina- tion. The class leaders were: President, Edward Campbell, Vice-President, Ann Nich- olsg Secretary, Eleanor Putteanipg and Treasurer, Roger Eickmeier. The Armistice Day party was the first event ot' the Sophomore season and was held at the school. All events, in the lives of all men, do not stay a fixed picture before their minds can breach a greater chasm. However, a great event is grasped by the convolutions of tl1e brain and held there for one to fondle and gaze upon. The great event impressed upon the -?
