Class History After spending eight years preparing ourselves for secondary school, we entered high school in September. 1934 as freshmen. We were huddled together in home room. Here we had a serious task of preparing schedules, learning the bells”, and getting acclimat ed our new surroundings. There were fifty-four of us then; we were proud of the size of our class, for it was the largest one in school. We had hoped that we would not lose any of our classmates, hut. for one reason or another, as the months passed we lost twenty-five members from our class. Virginia Davis was our president that year and Gladys ConkUt secretary and treasurer. Doth our party and weiner roast were great successes. Several of our class were in the operetta, Lelawala”. We were more than proud of the fact that Virginia Davis, one of our members and a mere freshman, had a leading part in the operetta. We entered school in 193G as sophomomes. We had only twenty-nine members that year, but we felt that our experience and wisdom would compensate somewhat for the number of students we had lost. Gladys Conkle was president and Gladys Anderson was secretary and treasurer. Remember the sophomore party at Ethel Sesler’s home, and the fun we had? We went out to Dexter tor our weiner roast that spring. Many of our class were in the operetta, Sonia’ . During cur sophomore year we lost eleven members. We began our work as juniors in a much larger and completely-remodeled school building. Samuel Davis, Vesta Nelson, and John Folan joined our class as juniors. They came from other schools- We had our junior party in the study hall of the new building. The biggest event of course, in our social life as juniors was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Hollywood Bound was the operetta given that year. Several from our class had leading parts in it. Herman Kincaid played the leading male roll. Lucille Wise was elected junior president, and Gladys Conkle. secretary-treasurer. When we assembled in home room in September of 1937, we were sorry to see only fifteen members in our class. Lyndall Lyons had come to us from Akron. After a few weeks. Jim Haley, our president, became seriously ill and was forced to withdraw from school, leaving us only fourteen seniors. Lucille Wise was elected vice-president, and Gladys Conkle. secretary, and Robert Smith treasurer. The operetta this year was The Gypsy Troubadour’ . Several of the leading characters were from our class. We have had some disappointments in our tour years in Rutland High; we have learned to rise above them; we have changed partially our childish fancies to those o! men and women. We have had many, many pleasant experiences, too which wc shall never forget. We have come to love this school We have been here four years, four of the best years we’ll probably ever spend. Those friendships that we have made must temporarily come to an end. The help, the aid which we have received is to be given no more—not by those who have previously helped. But now we say farewell to our teachers classmates, and friends at Rutland High. Kenneth I hi vis
