X I THE REMINISCENCERH ff: History ol Class of '36 In September, 1932, we began our high school career as freshmen. The class was composed of Daisy Collins, Ruby Culver, Ruby Doeding, Evelyn Patterson, Raymond Antrim, Clarence Baumgarten, Charles Beck, Albert Cox, Ray Downs, Otis Kull, Lawrence Krile, Earl Renshaw, Clay Robin- son, Dean Tate, Paul Volkman, James Wiandt, and Woodrow Wilson. In our sec- ond week of school we were duly initiated by the upper classmen. This occasion was held in Unruh's Woods in the form of a Weiner roast. Several of our class joined the Strasburg High School band. They were as follows: Daisy Collins, Raymond Antrim, Lawrence Krile, and Woodrow Wilson. All the girls of our class joined the glee club, which was formed under the leadership of Mrs. Grant. The class officers of this year were: Woodrow Wilson, Presidentg Ruby Doeding, Vice-president, Ruby Culver, Sec- retaryg Evelyn Patterson and Ruby Doed- ing were News Reporters. Our class advisor was Mr. Jackson. Woodrow Wilson acted as usher at the Seniors class play which was held in the school assembly. The Junior- Senior banquet was held in the school li- brary in the form of a circus. Ruby Doed- ing and Woodrow Wilson dressed as clowns served as waitress and waiter. This year our school picnic was held at Paradise Lake, and we all had an enjoyable time. When we returned in 1933 to begin our Sophomore year we found that we had lost several of our classmates. They were: Ray- mond Antrim, Albert Cox, Ray Downs, Otis Kull, Evelyn Patterson and James Wiandt. This year we elected as officers: Earl Ren- shaw, Presidentg Lawrence Krile, vice- presidentg Daisy Collins, Secretaryg and Ruby Culver, News Reporter. Mr. Jackson as class advisor. Two more members of our class joined the band. They were: Clarence Baumgarten and Earl Renshaw. The Jun- ior-Senior banquet was held in the school library in the form of a May day. Daisy Collins and Lawrence Krile served as wait- ress and waiter. The annual school picnic was held at Nelson Park, Decatur. Wood- row Wilson and Charles Beck acted as ush- egs gt the graduation exercises of the Class o ' 4. Returning to school as Juniors we found that we had lost four more members of our class. They were: Clarence Baumgarten, who attended Neoga, Dean Tate, Paul Thomas, and Clay Robinson. The class officers for this year were: Ruby Doeding, Presidentg Lawrence Krile, Vice-president, Ruby Culver, Secretary, and Daisy Collins, news reporter. Our class advisor was Mrs. Grant. This year we had our first op- portunity at serving in the stands at the Class History P. T. A. meetings. Charles Beck at this time had the misfortune of breaking his right arm. We had a class party at school with everyone bringing a guest. We also spon- sored the box supper which was a success in every way. Charles Beck and Woodrow Wilson served as ushers at the Seniors play. Lawrence Krile and Paul Volkman had the honor of being members of the Senior's play cast. The Seniors were guests of the Juniors at the Annual Junior-Senior ban- quet, which was held at the U. S. Grant Hotel in Mattoon. After the eats the seniors as guests were taken to the Mattoon thea- tre. This year again we went to Nelson Park, Decatur, and had our picnic. At the graduation exercises Daisy Collins, Ruby Doeding, Lawrence Krile, and Wood- row Wilson acted as ushers. At the alumni banquet given in the school library Ruby Culver, Daisy Collins and Ruby Doeding, attired in blue, served as waitresses. In the year 1935 we entered Strasburg High School for our last year. Instead of losing members of our class as formerly, we gained Clarence Baumgarten. Instead of having Mrs. Grant this year, Miss Weber has taken her place as teacher. Officers for this year were: Woodrow Wilson, Presi- dent, Lawrence Krile, Vice-presidentg Daisy Collins, Secretary 5 and Ruby Culver, News Reporter. Five members of our pres- ent class are playing in the band. They are Daisy Collins, Clarence Baumgarten, Law- rence Krile, Woodrow Wilson, and Earl Renshaw. When the Dramatic Club was formed Ruby Doeding served as president and Ruby Culver as secretary. There are four members of our class on the annual staff, namely. Woodrow Wilson, Editor, Lawrnce Krile, Associate Editorg Ruby Doeding, Business Managerg and Ruby Culver, Class Representative. We saw the show Mutiny on the Bounty and re- ported on it in English class. We had our pictures taken at Camera Art Studio, Deca- tur and we hope that none of us broke the camera, so the next years class can use it. Woodrow Wilson and Charles Beck acted as ushers at the Junior class play. We have the pleasure of attending the Vocational Guidance lectures at James Millikin Univer- sity, in Decatur. This year we gave our class play at Hamm's hall on April 16th and 18th. The play was entitled The Thirteenth Day, and was packed with plenty of ac- tion. Several members of our class attend- ed the Freshman and Sophomore parties which were held in the school. This year we were guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet held at the Orlando Hotel in Decatur. We were also their guests at a theatre party given later in the eve- ning.
