PUT O GOLD Senior Class l-listory By PAULINE SPRUNGER The Class of 1936 first entered South High on the morning of Sep- tember 2, 1930. Our supervisor, Miss Ethel Asher, aided us in getting started. Although bewildered at first, we were well acquainted with the school after a few weeks. At Thanksgiving the Jesters, with the the Masquers, portrayed The Courtship of Miles Standish. By the end of the year, we were really inaugurated into South. The next year went along smoothly enough under the supervision of Mrs, C. E. Gaskins, nee Miss Elizabeth Harter. The following officers were elected: president, Phyllis Lee, vice-president, Hugh Johnston, secretary-treasurer, Roy Wilson, and reporter, George Beery. In com- memoration of Washington's birthday, the Masquers' Club presented The Sandman's Pack o' Dreams in assembly. As Freshmen we were allowed many more privileges. Numerous clubs and activities were opened to us. Miss Helen Shanahan supervised us and assisted in the election of officers, who were Hugh Johnston, pres- ident, Donald Groves, vice-president, Martha Reese, secretary-treasurer, and Raymond Aures, reporter. Two hundred and fifty-three Sophomores started out courageously to have a big year. We elected Charles Fessler, president, Raymond Aures, vice-president, Beatrice Johnson, secretary-treasurer, and Edna Oswald, reporter. Mr. C. F. Sinclair supervised us and issued blue slips, never white ones. We were represented in plays fSophomores were in the Ye Merries play and the operettab, clubs, sports, and music. The autumn of 1934 saw us returning to school as Juniors. How grown up we felt! To be very businesslike we first elected our officers, consisting of Arthur Mayer, president, Donald Hooks, secretary, and Wanda Flager, treasurer. Miss Marie Bowlus was our supervisor. During the year we did several things which we had never done before as a class. For the first time we presented a play of our own- Tiger House -a mystery. The proceeds from this land a magazine campaign we conductedj enabled usito sponsor the annual Junior-Senior prom at Shawnee Country Club on May 24. We gave a pageant on May 22 com- memorating the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of the American high school. South's doors opened to us for the last time on September 9, 1935, when approximately one hundred twenty 'students came back to occupy the seats of former Seniors both in home room and in the auditorium. The year was begun with the election of the executive group-George Beery, president, William Crossman, vice-president, Donald Brown, treasurer, and Woodrow Curtis, secretary. At the Carnival David Fritz and Wanda Flager were crowned king and queen respectively. On Hobo Day we forgot our dignity and attired ourselves in articles of clothing from attics and rag bags. As the grand finale to our high school life, we presented Adam and Eva on May 22, with nine members of our class in the cast: Morris Hofmann, Arthur Mayer, Roy Wilson. Phyllis Lee, Dorothy Dillon, Marion Cook, William Crossman, Carroll Sammetinger, and Wynsome Lyon. The committees in charge of the concluding affairs of the school year were girls' dress-Wynsome Lyon, chairman, Dorothy Dillon, boys' dress-Robert Reese, chairman, James Bresson, Class Day-Arthur Mayer, chairman, Wanda Flager, Irene Hollingsworth, Anna Mary Frey, David Fritz, Howard Martin, George Keller, memorial-Helen Gossard, chairman, Ruth Frazier, Doris Vance, George Hawkey, Albert Naum, prophecy-Martha Reese, Dorothy Artrip, Donald Brown, oration- William Crossman, history-Pauline Sprunger, orchestra-David Fritz: will-Phyllis Lee, Beatrice Johnson. We made our last informal appearance on Class Day, May 28. The Baccalaureate sermon was heard on June 7, and Commencement was held on June 8.
