1938 P' Junior Class History In the spring of 1935, groups of students were graduated from grammar schools in West Deer, Harmar, Springdale, Frazier, and Indiana Townships. One hundred and fifty of these pr-eferred Springdale High School as the place for higher education. They showed their friendliness toward their future classmen by making intimate acquaintances with the Freshmen who lived in Springdale. A student council of home-room representatives was organized wth Robert Hendrickson as president. The first year proved eventful with practice dances, class parties, and club organizations. In February, the Dramatic Club, sponsored by Mr. Johnston, presented an evening's entertainment of one-act plays, and in May, the Club had a play entitled Auntie Up. As Sophomores, we, enthusiastic but backward, began a new experience at the Senior High School. At this stage, we were afflicted with Sophomoritis , a disease which could only be cured by torturing the Freshmen. Turning our attention toward government, we found Robert Hendrickson again president of the Class. Melvin Cooper was vice-presidentg Mary Hamilton, secretary, and Paul Metal, treasurer. During the tenth year, each home-room prepared an assembly program. Since 10A had the best one, they were asked to present their hilarious comedy, O Promise Me , directed by Mr. I-Ilista, for Education Week. Our social affairs consisted only of a dance and a skate. The following September found us grown-up Juniors, having left our childish Sopho- more ideas behind. Robert Hendrickson, popular leader throughout his high school career, maintained his post as president of his class. Tony Santay greeted us as vice-president, and Mary Drum as secretary-treasurer. Throughout the junior year our class was very active in having social functions and in boosting oth-ers. The first activity of the year, an informal dance with the High School Dance Band, was a gala affair and proved to be a huge success. Other events included the Junior Skate and the Junior-Senior Prom, a long-looked-forward to dance. In the athletic field, we were well represented in all sports: in football and baseball by Laush, Marino, Metal, and Quinauxg in basket-ball by Owcar and Hendrickson, in tennis by Wardlowg in golf by Butch-er, Klimenko, and Borland, in track by Dompe, Iskovitz, Marino, and Laush. We are looking forward to a very active senior year. Helen Evanco Page Twenty nme
