OUR years ago we entered these portals for the first time, with high hopes for the future in U. High. In spite of freshman stupidity, we were leading the school in scholastic standing by the end of the first term. ln October we held our first class party. Then again in january we staged an all school dance which was a very successful undertaking. And then came our crowning achievement of the year,-the Freshmen Assembly. Our own Tommy Carter sang for the first and last time The Lullaby of the Leaves. Witli Richard Dunn as class president, our activities for the Sophomore year were few but very successful. On November third we held a wiener roast,-remember? On january 19 we held our class party in the Wo1nen's Gym. Soon we found ourselves flightly juniors, ready to carry out the most outstanding year in our school career. Tommy Carter was our president. Our first success was the junior play, American, Very Early, directed by Miss Allen and Miss Fisher. Then came the history-making ceremony of the rings,W-may our memories never fail us in that respect. Remember the question of the 'junior-Senior Banquet and how when no funds were appropriated for it we stepped forward and inaugurated the junior Circus? Remember the feeling of pride and elation we had when we found we had gone over the top and made enough to give the traditional junior-Senior banquet? This was held in the spring and was the greatest achievement of our high school career. And now,-into the last year, our Senior year. We're the mighty Seniors, the all- important. Early in November we inaugurated the social season with our homecoming welcome dance to new teachers and Dr. Hamrin. Then in the late fall we presented the annual Senior assembly, and in the spring the Senior play, The Youngest. But before we step from the life of U. High and end forever this history of the Class of 1936 of University High School, we wish to extend our sincerest appreciation and gratitude for friendship and never-ending loyalty to Miss McAvoy.
