Miss Moore, Miss Cowl, Mr. Gleason When school opened in September of 1936, one hundred and thirty-eight excited boys and girls entered St. Albans High School as freshmen. Now these bewildered students have risen to the highest rank. It is the senior class. These students came from Cen- tral, Highlawn, and Fairview schools. In about two weeks after their first ap- pearance in this school, they held their first class meeting of the year in the gym. Officers -elected at this meeting were: president, Don Cunningham, vice president, Charles Mitchell, secretary and treasurer, Ernestine Moore. Advisers were: Miss Cowl, Mrs. Treanor, and Mr. Alford. In November a class party was held in the gym- nasium. Thus ended the first year. Most of the class returned the following fall, feeling much bigger, even ready to laugh at the -errors of the new group of freshmen. They had learned their lesson. Officers for this year were: president, Don Cunning- ham, vice president, Charles Mitchell, secre- tary, Mary Ann Lewis, and treasurer, Ladine O'Neil. Class advisers were: Miss Lynch, Mrs. Treanor, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Burdette. On April 8 the class had their party in the gymnasium. So, this ended the second year in S. H. S. In the fall of '38' a group of young women and men faced their junior year of school, a hard and busy one. They were upper class- men now and money had to be made. Officers this year wer-e: Gene Ackles, president, Evelyn Ranson, vice president,Mary Ann Lewis, secretary, and Don Cunningham, treasurer. Advisers were: Miss Selbe, Miss Wolfard, and Mr. Jackson. The class, in order to secure money for the senior reception in the spring, sponsored a show, Three Comradesf' at the Alban. Calm Yourself, was selected for the class play, directed by Miss Selbe, was presented November 11, to an appreciative audience. The junior class party was held December 9 in the gymnasium. May 13 was the date for the annual Junior- Senior reception. The gymnasium was beau- tifully decorated in black and white. Sil- houettes were used to work out a colonial de- sign. Music was furnished by Bill Garten and his orchestra. The class ended the year with a hike to the Lower Falls beach for a picnic lunch and swimming. Last fall this group who were freshmen not so long ago returned to S. H. S. for their last round in their high school days. Ofiicers for this year are: Thomas Echols, presi- dent, Birdsell McCormick, vice president, Evelyn Ranson, secretary, and Martha Nes- ter, treasurer. Class advisers are: Miss Moore, Miss Cowl, and Mr. Gleason. The class selected Till We Meet Again, for th-eir class song.
