History of the Class of '39 lAS FOUND lN THE DIARY AF A CLASSMATEl September 30, 1935-At last I'm in high school. l wonder if l'm going to like this new school life. Everything seems so big and different...new teachers, and new subjects. All my classmates look fine after a long summer vacation, and thus we start our new careers. The class of '39 got together officially for the first time today. We elected D. McPhee as President, J. Roberts, Vice President, I'm sure these people will be excellent leaders of our class. June I9, 1936-Well, our freshman year is finished. Some of our classmates were awarded honor certificates for outstanding scholarship last night. They were: R. Cloer, G. Conklin, B. Kahn, A. Laurer, M. Naugle, M. Rittenhouse, J. Schwolow, J. Storms, and J. Tanis. We are proud of the fact that J. Fennell received his letters in football and S. Recca received his in baseball this year. September IO, 1936-The summer is over and the school term has started once more. Walked into school today with the air of an old-timer. After all, I'm a sophomore now. It was great to see all the old gang again. This year some sophomores from Springfield have joined us, so have made a lot of new friends already. l've been busy getting acquainted with my new subjects. Let's see,-Voici un crayon, je suis une petite fille. Wow, I'm learning things! Today our class of '39 had our elections. D. McPhee was elected President again, J. Tanis, Vice President, R. Naffke, Secretary-Treasurer, J. Storms and M. Naugle as our Council of Ten representatives. June I8, 1937-Most of us were sorry that today ends the school year because we have to part with our friends from the other towns. They will have their own school next year. Just think, I'm going to be a junior! This year N. Barnes, R. Cloer, J. Schwolow, J. Storms, J. Tanis, and M. Volk received honor certificates. H. Heipertz and J. Fennell were lettermen in football, L. Valenti and H. Farrell in wrestling, S. Recca, J. Fennell, G. Conklin in baseball. September 14, 1937-Tried to be nice to the new students: after all, I was a freshie once myself. How we've changed since then! The school is much smaller and chummier now, with just Roselle Park pupils. Oh, I wonder if I'm going to like chemistry. The pictures in the text book look interesting. Our annual class elections were held. The results were: D. McPhee, President, G. Conklin, Vice Presi- dent, N. Barnes, Secretary, J. Fennell, Treasurer, Council of Ten representatives, J. Storms, M. Naugle, and A. Kinn. Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Albert will be our advisers. Must do homework now. December 21, 1937-Got our rings today, and are we proud of our possessions! April 8, 1938-Tonight our class play was presented, and was a grand success des- pite the heavy rain. lt was called A Murder Has Been Arranged -a splendid play, coached by Miss Wood, with a cast doing a marvelous bit of acting. There was dancing afterwards, and a good time was had by all. May l3, l938-lt's awfully late, but just couldn't go to bed without writing down this evening! lt was our Junior Prom-oh what a perfectly perfect night! The gym was transformed into a beautiful ballroom with decorations of blue and white all over the place. The committee did a commendable job-they worked like busy bees. I had a lovely time which l'll never forget. Oh, hum, now to bed! Forty-seven
