HEMI IEEE EES The dream of every grade pupil is a shining goal-High School. The dream and goal of every High School student is more desired, a more meritorious goal--Graduation. The following is a short history of our activities and achfevements during our high school career. The Seniors of 1941 are approaching at long last that unique day of childhood dreams. 1937-1938: In September of 1937 twelve shy, backward girls and boys with high hopes, walked up a flight and a fourth of steps on the first phase of their journey through high school. After we had settled down, we found that we had lost two stu- dents from our class. However, the loss was more than compensated by the arrival of one Lorraine Cassidy, who was elected class Secretary. We placed our trust for guid- ance in Joe Rademaker by electing him class President. Catherine Gormley was elected Vice-President to help Joe bear the burdenu. We have many pleasant memories of our Freshman year. We were not without glory during this year for Mary Keil won third place in the County Latin Contest. By this time the heavy coat of green which had enrobed us for the greater part of the year was rapidly fading. It was entirely gone by June. Hurrah! We all came through with flying colors. We then became full-fledged Sophomores. 193 8-39: After three months of glorious vacation, we again returned to assume our duties. We now had entered that age of adolescent flippancy known as Silly Soph- omores . We suffered from growing pains here abouts. But then, it isnit suffering, when we get three new members like Beverly Behr, Alta Emmons, and Betty Jean Hitsman. Betty Jean, by the way, was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Through the pay or a pound of flesh tactics of Betty Jean, we were able to carry a small fund over to help bear the first expense of the SpotIite.', Glorious moment: Mary Keil again brought honor to her class in the District Latin contest held at Muncie. 1939-40: At last! Jolly Juniors. We both lost and gained members. Alta Em- mons left while Marjorie Bruce and Gene Medlen increased the membership of our class to fifteen. We soon learned to appreciate Marjorie, for she won the County and District Latin Meets. She was unable to participate in the State Meet, however, because of her untimely departure from St. Paul. Big business this year, so we went to work putting out the Sp0tlite and raising funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Then followed dinners, candy sales, and various activities to raise class funds. We held our elaborate junior-Senior Banquet on May 29. From all reports it was very successful. In June we attended Commencement. It made us realize that we had only one short year to go. Page 14
