S ecretary Late in that historic year of 1929 A.D., there burst on an unsus- pecting school swarms of very small awe-struck boys and girls. Two months later came that well remembered crash, but that's another story. The Sophomores immediately began to notice that although they tried to squelch us, we were on the alert and participated in everything. When the middle of January rolled around, Mr. Bryan was already disposing of weekly delegations of Freshmen who were continually petitioning him for his permission to organize the class. Mr. Bryan craftily out-talked and out-manoeuvered us until May, when the class finally met. The fol- lowing officers were elected: Paul Sudnikovich, Presidentg Felix Nakielny, Vice Presidentg and Jane Morgan, Secretary and Treasurer. In September We gleefully returned to the grind. We were all puffed up about being Sophomores. The class started right in on its work for that traditional dash to Washington. Though we were held down by the Juniors and Seniors we managed to squeeze in a successful cake sale. Later in the year the Juniors gave a Miniature Golf Nite . Entranced with the idea we came right back with a golf nite indoors with steam heat. So at the end of the Sophomore year we had an enviable reputation for participating in all the school activities. As soon as we returned in our Junior year we elected Alfred Switzer, Presidentg Dorothy Warden, Vice Presidentg and Geraldine Armstrong, Secretary and Treasurer. Early in 1932 we started off with a magazine campaign which was highly successful. Washington was shining brightly ahead as our goal, when there came a crushing blow. We were not to go! For days Juniors walked around with faces as long as yard sticks. The pain grew less and we eventually got started on the junior play. After three weeks of rehearsing with Miss Paluso as coach, The Full House was presented to an expectant world. Class of '33 weather prevailed for it poured all that evening. Though the play was not much of a fin- ancial success, it made a hit dramatically. At the close of the term we gave the departing Seniors a farewell party. We did that up brown! At the Senior Class Day exercises we were presented with the key of know- edge along with parting hints and observations, which were ably re- sponded to by Ivan Kozak. Page twelve
