CLASS HISTORY In 1936, 240 wee green freshmen sneaked through the doors of Rutland High School on a bright, sun shiny September morning. At least, we thought the sun was shining, but most of us were in such a fog that we would not have known the difference, anyway. The upper classmen made us feel as uncomfortable as possible by laughing at each mistake we made. The fact that the had once been reshmen seemed all the . Y . . , . more reason for treating us as creatures of ridicule. However, they did give us a good time at the Reception, which served as an introduction to the social affairs of Rutland Hi h. As leaders that ear we chose Ph llis Rousseau for resident, , g , , Y Y P Shirle Kantor, vice resident, Burt Porter, secretar , and Suzanne Woodfin, treasurer. Y P Y Many of our boys proceeded to go out for football, while the girls took an interest in field hockey. Various clubs, such as Camera, Forensic, Bomartre, and Freshman Dramatics, engaged the attention of several of our members. We con- tributed our lirst bit to Rutland High School talent in the musical comedy, Love Goes Southf, and showed that we weren't really so gangling after all. Finally we passed into our second year of high school life. We now considered ourselves fullffledged members of this great school and immediately exercised our authority over the incoming freshmen. Of course, it took them twice as long as it had taken us to learn the ropes, even with such experi' enced aid as we gave them by way of frequent baths in the city park watering trough During this year some of our members interested themselves in Band and Orchestra, while others still centered their attention on sports and clubs. jean Hascall, Beverly Melen, Carolyn Brehmer, and Shirley Kantor were selected as assistant band leaders, and the following year were promoted to the position of alternating drum majors. Joyce Beauchamp headed our class and was aided by Robert Percey and William Russell. At last we entered our 'unior ear which rovided us with man memories. ' - 'l ' y an P ' 1 1 y The junior Prom, which was held in the penthouse in our gym, was one of the greatest of the events because of the noble efforts of cofchairmen Shirley Kantor and Samuel Tem le, and their committee. P Our class was again conducted by Joyce Beauchamp. Her assistants were Frances Clifford and Carolyn Brehmer. The Monitor Squad claimed 19 of our members and Charles Bruce was elected president. When it came time to choose our rings, We were all very enthusiastic, especially some of the boys who didn't expect to be wearing theirs very long.
