gfau matoty After four glorious summer months of vacation, everyone was anxious to enter the large white building which, although it was not yet completed, was known as Clark High School. Of course they could not settle down to work immediately. This new building had to be inspected and re- marks had to be passed on how this and that was made. The walls were not painted and all the lockers had not yet been in- stalled? during classes the students could hear them being placed in the walls. The first Freshman Class of Clark High School numbered about one hundred twenty. They were met and partitioned into four classes under the parental eyes of Miss Butler, Miss Blackstone, Miss Wis- hart, and Mr. Ramsey. This was the year of the flood which gave the students a three day vacation in the spring. It was in this year that our legal-minded young freshmen tried their hand in the mock trial sponsored by the Civics classes. Later the students proudly displayed their ac- complishments at Clark's first Open House. Due to the fact that school did not begin until October first it was necessary for the weary students to spend the entire month of June with their books. Having completed one fourth of their high school education the sophomores, when they returned in the fall of 1936, found themselves in the same school but in an entirely different atmosphere. There was a completed gym, ready lockers, a manuel training room for boys, a sewing room for the girls, a library and many oth- er rooms which were an advantage to everyone. The students lost no time in or- ganizing clubs. Under the skillful guid- ance of Mrs. Shank, who began the G.A.A. the girls were given a chance to show their ability as athletes. The boys organized the Hi-Y Club with Mr. W. Baird as their ad- visor. This year was credited with first Gym exhibit at Open-House. This was the year we read Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream and struggled with Cae- sar's Gallic Wars. Many were the amused and surprised glances when a number of sophomore boys appeared in their first long trousers. Thus ended the second year satisfactory to both teachers and students. Bigger and better things were to be accomplished in the Junior year and the first step was becoming united into one body under their able ofiicers. It was a proud group of students who displayed their class rings and by them found recog- nition in every eye. For Pete's Sake , the class play, will always be remembered for it introduced Smarsh, the perfect butler, Casto, the ardent lover, and Lescsak, the perfect spinster. No one will forget the Dramatic Club and its short one act plays -especially Who's Crazy Now? With the Juniors acting as hosts and hostesses, the Junior Prom, with music by Roy Chest- er, was enjoyed by everyone. Among the distinguished guests were the President, John Kiska, the Vice-President Genevieve Lescsak, Mr. Roberts, and Miss Latimer. When the halls echoed with the musical notes, when Mr. Kirkell dashed to and fro, when Miss Metz walked about excitedly- that was the operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore. No one could miss the splendid new bleachers put in the gym. The Juniors be- gan to feel mighty important when they could type a page without errors and transcribe their shorthand. And so ended a third year. Then came the fall of '38, With might and main undaunted, the Seniors labored to meet each new problem. A magazine campaign was carried on to raise money to finance their edition of the Scottie De- cember the ninth the class's production of Murder in Rehearsal brought to light such stars as Richard Blankowski and his memorable portrayal of Daffy , Al Henke and his unforgettable southern ac- cent, and Jane David, the very aristocratic Mrs. Fiske Warren. Of course we can't for- get the operetta The Pirates of Pen- zance . The Senior Dance in the spring drew the dancers from miles around. May opened with Senior Day, when the Seniors exhibited their class colors. Exams follow- ed creating studious attempts and excite- ment everywhere. However, finally peace reigned at the Baccalaureate Services. The Seniors made their final bow at commence- ment on May 26. Three classes have helped to build the standards, traditions, and spirit of Clark. We, the class of '39 add yet another row of bricks and leave our school to you with the sincere hope that future classes may know no discord and leave it unfinished, but will bring forth leaders year by year to build brick by brick, ever upward, to glorious, noble heights.
