ENIOR CL SS HISTOR Y'JHHHHf- The class of 193J4. was organized in 1930 with Bill Clark as President, Paul Baker as Vice-President and Florence Dean as Secretary and Treasurer, V7e were just another group of greenhorns from the country but with the aid of our guides, consisting of our town bred classmates, we soon thought we were quite important (except when some of our Seniors gave us a wilting look). Our first sign of official welcome was extended by the Sophomore class. They gave us a great initiation and supper at the Legion Hall some time during the early fall. The next spring we were lucky in receiving the privilege of a trip to Lansing with our Superintendent and Biology teacher, both having their hands full in keeping their students corralled. The second year of school our class lost two members: Thelma Keagle and Valma Green and both were missed greatly. It was our pleasing duty to welcome our up and coming Freshmen and we did so by throwing a grand party at the Baptist Gym. Our class party was held at Florence Doan's home, where we had planned to have r. weiner roast. Since it was too rainy to have it our doors, they were roasted in the house and with much success. During our Sophomore year we lost four members, namely: Merle Bloshfield, Joseph Clifford, Keith Pell and Max Quimby, and only gained one, Harriette Koons from Rochester, New York. Our officers for the Sophomore class were Louis Dunn, President; Dorothr Vi ndyBogurt, Vice-President; Florence Doan, Secretary and Treasurer, At the beginning of the Junior year we had two new members: Effie Hurrls, and Lavernn Criven. We looked forward eagerly to
