We freshmen chose, at the beginning of our first high school year in l936, a capable group of officers to guide us through the hazards of our initial year. Thomas OiNeil was elected president, Elizabeth Fyfe, vice president, and Florian Swan, secretary and treasurer. Besides having good officers, we were fortunate each quarter in having a small number of students who did honor work. There were usually the following: Anna Kogut, Norma Washburn, Florence Cockett, Margaret Weigel, Evelyn Parker, and Elizabeth Fyfe. Our financial efforts of the year were limited to a bake sale in the latter part of October. Though our financial undertakings were few, our other activities were more extensive. We held a Hallowe'en party in November and despite the grotesque costumes, had a great deal of pleasure. Norma Washburn was made captain of the cheer leaders, and we were also gratified when Sam Mayton was put on the second team of the basketball group. He was the only freshman who was given this honor. Mr. Glenn Polly was our adviser, and to him goes the heartfelt thanks of our class for his hard work on our behalf, for his many kindnesses and for his loyal support.

The frolicking freshmen have changed into the studious sophomores who adorn this page. On September 10, 1936, we had a class meeting. The following members were elected as class officers: President, Doris Dickison, vice president, Beatrice White, secretary, Alice Lasher, treasurer, Frank Gustavson. ln Miss Rich, our class adviser, we feel that we have found the only one who could fill the place held in our hearts by Mr. Pembleton in highest esteem, and feel greatly indebted to him for his example of good fellowship, so significant when one finds oneself in the perplexing position of a freshman. Among the social functions of our two years have been a successful Hallowe'en party and a gay Valentine party. Our lucrative endeavors have consisted of two bake sales in our freshman year and one in our sophomore year. The total gain for the bake sales was 555200. On April 23, l937, we had a Sophomore Sioree at which many people spent a felicitous evening. During our two years in high school we have been well represented in activities. ln basketball were the following: Vivian Smith, who was the first freshman to get a letter for girls7 basketball, Betty Corbin, Jack Jones, William Parker, Frank Cieslak, Edward Swan, John Beasman, and Norman Williams. Alice Lasher and Ruth Walling were cheer leaders. In our freshman year, Hugh Stephenson won second place in prize speaking.
