The senior class of 19 1 started as a group of hard-working Doys and girls in the lower department of the great organization of the Tuscola Community High School. The chances for advancement were good,for you might go from the freshman to the senior department. The wages were low but the experience will pay worthwhile dividends in future years. Included is a liberal three months' vacation each year. Early in September, 1937. we came to work in a '37 Ford bus. Martha Van Doren was the driver; Calvin Colwell was assistant driver; Naomi 5terlin0 collected the fares; and John Gallagher conferred with the councils from the other buses. Mr. Cox and Mr. Wulliman were the managers of the freshman department. After our promotion to the sophomore department, Harold Pflum drove us to work in a '3 ? model Chevrolet. The remaining members of the bus crew were John Stabler, 3ill Kuber, and John Gallagher; and Miss Frantz and Mr. Cox mapped our tour. We became more in- terested in school activities, and we were well represented in the various cluos. After long weeks of strenuous effort, we were amply rewarded with promotion to the junior department. The first day of our new job was exciting,for the weather was bad. However we arrived safely in a '39 Dodge with Bill Huber's cartful drivin0 and tr.e help of 3ill Overturf and Marjorie Downing. Our junior advisers were Miss Howard and Mr. Kish. We discovered a talent for acting among some of our classmates, and so we produced a play for the benefit of our class. Some of the outstanding athletes on the undefeated championship team of the Okaw Valley were juniors. Wesley Hilligoss and Martha Van Doren were taken into the National Honor Society. The annual reception for the seniors, who had completed their trip through high school, was planned around the theme of a circus. We started our senior year out right by getting to work on time, and it was no wonder for Judson McGuire was driving a new Greyhound. He was assisted by Charlene Flanagan, Martha Van Doren, and Wesley Hilligoss. Miss Leak and Miss Magnusson, our new helpers for this year, were on hand to greet us. We seniors were in man, clubs and held several important offices: Charlene Flanagan was editor-in-chief of the Old Gold and Black Echoes;Helen Flesor, pi'esident of the Girl Scouts; Marjorie Downing, president of the Thespians; and Bill Overturf, president of the Debate Club.Martha Van Doren had twice one to National Solo Contest as oboe soloist. Our football team again went undefeated and was one of the highest scoring teams in the state. Also, 3ill Huber was named end on the All-State football squad. In basketball, the team won the Okaw Valley Tournament for the second consecutive time. The remaining stops on our bus trip were the senior class play and the junior-senior reception. Our trip through high school was a lot of fun as well as work, and we will appreciate still more in later years the value of the education which we have received.
