JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On this page and scattered at random are briefly recorded the prin- cipal events of the Class of '39. To those who hurriedly scan this page this declaration is unnecessary, for who among them will forget even one of the stepping stones toward his career? One bright day, early in the fall of 1935, thirteen innocent boys and girls 'entered this high school and received the name of Freshies . In September, 1936, ten of the old members and three new members again entered the front door with a more solemn and serious outlook on the school life as sophomores. During the year we had one class party and one birthday surprise party at the homes of two of our members. Early in our junior year Paul Baker was elected president and Miss Rupprecht, adviser. Under their diplomatic guidance we have complet- ed the third year of high school without a relapse, and acknowledging that we are not yet fully saturated with knowledge, we are preparing to plunge into our senior and last year. Marie Kafer was elected vice pres- identg Doris Schieber, secretary, and Raymond Stuckman, treasurer. In November our class, portraying its dramatic ability, presented a three act comedy The Ready Made Family . We enjoyed one class party and two birthday surprise parties at the homes of three of our members. We are now looking forward to an enjoyable and successful year as seniors. -Martha Alkire. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY As we ascended to the seventh step of our shool life we were facing a great change in our lives. We felt like kindergarten children before those dignified seniors, especially when we lost ourselves the first day. However, we quickly overcame that feeling and felt rather grown up among those younger than us. That year we had the new experience of electing class officers. The next year we entered the eighth grade. While on this step we gave debates, parties,weiner roasts, and plays. As our eighteen girls and boys reached the ninth step our accomp- llshments became more noticeable. We had boys on the basketball team, baseball team, girls on the newspaper staff, and in the A Capella choir. The officers elected during that year were: President, Warren Hendrickson: vice president, Loren Walker, secretary, Winifred Baird, treasurer, Mary Shoupg adviser, Mr. Turner. We had our first class par- ty that year at the home of Marjorie Kibler. Philip Cooper, president: Marjorie Kibler, vice presidentg Winifred Baird, secretary, Loren Walker, treasurer, Mr. Turner, class adviser, were the officers elected for this year. We had one class party at the home of Lois Geiger. Our efforts are receiving rewards this year. We have four girls in the A Capella choir and a number of boys starring in sports. There are only two stepping stones left and we intend to make them steps of success. f --Marjorie Kibler.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CLASS PROPHESY In 1934 the present senior class reached the important milestone marked The Freshmen Class . However, we were not full-fledged members of high school until after the initiation and a week of obeis- ance to the sophomores. That year our class officers were: Carrie Ev- elyn Light, presidentg Esther Fauser, secretary-treasurerg and Miss Lugibill, class adviser. During March the class enjoyed a party at the home of Carrie Evelyn Light. Gladly we relinquished our place as green freshies to become sophomores. We elected Howard Pfleiderer, presidentg Esther Fauser, secretary-treasurer: and Mr. Turner, class adviser. Our social activities included a Weiner roast at Viola Schwartz's and a party at the home of Dolly Brause. At last as juniors we joined the ranks of the upper classmen. We selected as officers, Eleanor Light, presidentg Doris Rodey, secretaryg Helen Walker, treasurerg and Miss Ulmer, class adviser. Our class play, The Blossoming of Mary Ann directed by Miss Ulmer was presented on November 20. On May 5 the Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Hotel Harding at Marion. During May we were very saddened by the death of one of our outstanding classmates, Doris Rodey. This fall our class of twenty-one began the last lap of its high school career. Our officers are: Richard Schulze, presidentg Viola Schwartz, secretaryg Gertrude Wert, treasurerg and Mr. Sollars, adviser. Early in October the class had a birthday surprise party for Viola Schwartz. The senior play, Don't Ever Grow Up , was given on May 20. Carrie Evelyn Light was chosen by the class to deliver the class oration at Com- mencement. As we reach the end of our school days, we gaze about us at a. world full of challenge for further achievement. We hope that as we take separate paths into the world we shall be able to meet these tests successfully. . --Maryella Durigg. I find it a great pleasure to interview my classmates of 1938, con- cerning their adventures after graduation. In 1950 we had a class reunion and I decided that this would be a good opportunity to find out what each member was doing. The first person I saw was Maryella Durigg who informed we that she was an artist in New York. As we were talking of our school days along came Viola Schwartz and Gertrude Wert who have been manag- ing a tearoom in Cincinnati, Ohio. All at once we heard an airplane overhead and lo and behold! it landed right before us and out jumped Edwin McKeehen. He has been studying aviation and has been quite successful. Glenn Brause, who is mayor of a large city in Indiana was also flying with him. While waiting for the other guests to arrive we de- cided to turn on the radio and it happened that we tuned in on a pro- gram in which Marjorie Baird was the star comedian. Several members of our class were not able to be present. Iwas told that Carrie Evelyn Light was singing in a concert tour and Lois Halliwill was a chorus girl out in Hollywood. Howard Pfleiderer was playing on a professional basketball team and Carl Wagner was man- ager of a large hotel. As we were listening to the news report on the radio it was announced that James Schnarrenberger was being consid- ered as a candidate for the Presidency. This greatly surprised all of us. Next to arrive at the reunion were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Schulze and flamily. Mrs. Schulze was formerly Lois Schimpf, also a member of our c ass. Helen Walker and Dolly Brause arrived next. Helen has become a famous pianist and Dolly is a book mender in a large library in Detroit. Mable Gwinner was traveling around the world and was also unable to be present.
