CLASS HISTORY To write even a brief history of the achievements of the Class Of 1936 is no easy task. This class has been one of the most active and cooperative groups that Savanna Township High School has ever had. Each of the four years it has succeeded in accomplishing worth while things, and now it can look back with much pleasure upon its activities. In the freshman year the class had an enrollment of one hundred and six. It elected James Carroll president, Rudolph Taber vice-president and Jane Hafemann secretary-treasurer. Mr. Harry Wilmarth was its class adviser. James moved away late in the year and was replaced by Rudolph. The class was represented in football by Vernon Krahn, Daniel O'Leary, and Robert Smith. A few of its members were out for public speaking. A good percentage of the class also were members of the Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, and the school band. Virginia Tyler was the only freshman who made the Treble Clef. The sophomore year the class numbered eighty-six. Daniel 0'Leary was elected president, Geraldine Mach vice-president, and Mary Goss secre- tary-treasurer. Miss Enid Burns was chosen class adviser. The class contributed a weekly report to the Junior Jingles. It had an ice-skating party and Weiner roast. The class adviser, Miss Burns, urged the class to begin making money for its Junior-Senior prom and as a result it earned a few dollars by having candy sales. This year the class conributed Karl King, Vernon Krahn, Thomas McGoldrick, Daniel O'Leary, Robert Smith, and John Smolek to football, and Thomas MeGoldrick to basketball. Jane Hafemann, Kathleen Wilson, and Virginia Tyler were awarded scholastic S's this Year. Then the junior year this group dropped still farther in number for it now had only seventy-five members. Daniel O'Leary and Geraldine Mach were again elected president and vice-president respectively. Virginia Tyler was secretary-treasurer and Miss Burns the adviser. Much time and labor was needed this year to raise sufficient money for the prom. The class proved to have much dramatic talent when they presented the comedy Here Comes Charlie! It was so successful that it was repeated. Mary Goss, Jane Hafemann, Virginia Tyler, and Kathleen Wilson were taken into the National Honor Society in the spring. This year the class was represen- ted in football by Darrell Harville, Karl King, Vernon Krahn, Vincent Man- ning, Thomas McGoldrick, Daniel O'Leary, Clyde Rury, Richard Sikkema, Robert Smith, John Smolek, and Wayne Swanson, and in basketball by Darrell Harville, Vincent Manning, Thomas McGoldrick, Daniel O'Leary, Robert Smith, and Wayne Swanson. The class had a 70-word shorthand team, composed of Emma Hollister, Helen Iovinelli, lone Sartwell, and Ruby Knapp, which took two first places and was able to go to the state contest at Champaign. Mary Goss, Emma Hollister, Ruby Knapp, Ionc Sartwell, and Genevieve Withhart received scholastic S's this year. ln the fall of 1935 the class launched into its last year of S. T. H. S. Again Daniel 0'Leary and Geraldine Mach were elected president and vice- president respectively. Mary Goss was chosen as secretary-treasurer and Miss Mattie Norris as adviser. The Senior class play was Look Who's Hereln Emma Hollister, Ruby Knapp, Geraldine Mach, Ionc Sartwell, and Genevieve NVithhart were initiated into the National Honor Society in the fall. The class gave Darrell Harville, Karl King, Vincent Manning, Thomas MeGoldrick, Daniel O'Leary, Clyde Rury, Richard Sikkema, Robert Smith. 28
