3 YWINTER CLASS September 2, 1935. My but we were a be- wildered group of Freshies', today. I felt terribly green. No one paid very much attention to us but we didn't mind. The teachers were kind to us as we wandered about the corridors looking for our class rooms and that was a help. I suppose we'll be able to find our way about sometime without any support from the teachers and upper classmen but right at present I have my doubts. We had one terribly embarrassing moment as a class. The Seniors and Juniors and Sophomores gave their class yells quite lustily. Then there was an awful silence. We suddenly realized that it was time for us to yell. Ours was a feeble 'tYea Freshies, some class. We did receive loud applause but I supf' - pose that was upper class kindness. We should do better after we get organized. September 18, 1935. We elected our class offi- cers today. Mrs. Mayeur and Mr. Fleming are our advisers. Harry Jennings is our President. He's small and mighty and I'm sure he'll do a good job leading us through this first year. Roy Buchaus is our Vice President. He'll be a good one. Janet Wickey handles the cash. She has some job! I nearly fell over when they elected me Secretary. We elected Bob Miller as our Cheer Leader. He's still in Chicago in the hospital so we elected Phoelfe Nichols to lead us until he gets back. Now we ought to be able to yell in assembly. November 9, 1935. My time has flown. We had our first class party tonight. It was fun. I had a grand time. Those who didn't come missed something. January 1936. Now I can breathe easy again. Exams are over and we have all survived. Even so most of the class have made resolutions to study harder this next semester. April 4, 1936. Once again we frolicked at the school. Only about half of the class showed up for the party but those of us who were there had a rolicking good time. High School is a lot of fun in spite of the hard assignments. Page Thirty OF 1939 June 5, 1936. Today was Commencement. My, but the Seniors looked dignified. Well, three years from now, our class will be marching down the aisles to get our diplomas. Just think we aren't Freshies any longer! And now for a real vacation. September 8, 1936. School once more! It was good to see some of the class again for you just don't see some of them during the summer. Mrs. Mayeur and Mr. Fleming are still with us as our advisers. Only a few of the class have fallen by the wayside so we should have a good year. I think I'm going to like school this year. September 15, 1936. Today was the day for class organization. We met in the Little Theatre for our election. We elected Bob Miller for both President and Cheer Leader. Dexter Nelson is our Vice President and Lucian Piper is the keeper of the cash. Jane Walker has my job as Secretary. November 6, 1936. Had a big time tonight at our party. When the football tickets went on sale Room 113 challenged the other Sophomore Home Rooms to a contest. The two that sold the least were to treat the winners. That was the party We had tonight. Room 113 won. The loosers were good sports though and gave the winners a real party. April 10, 1937. Today was the day of our Hoboi' party. There were same rare costumes. Wonder Where some of them found such good ones. Because we were so informally clad we had an extra good time. Still, I think I prefer to be a bour- geoisie. QI learned that word in history class.J Any how we had the most fun at this party than at any we have had since we've been in High School. May 28, 1937. This was the big night of our young lives. Our Banquet! The Cafeteria really looked quite festive and that coupled with good food, interesting speeches, dancing and games made a not-to-be-forgotten evening. School is nearly over now. Commencement is June 11 and then we'1l be Juniors. -Marlowe Morgan xi U,
