E!! ll ll ll IDI-I UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL EH! ll ll Il lm CLASS HISTORY By Immn HALL The class of 1931 began its memorable career in the second year of the school's existence. Even then it was well known that we were an exceptional' class and everyone was confident that before we left the school great things would have been accomplished by certain individuals in our midst. Nor will you think, as you peruse this record of our achievements, that this confidence was misplaced. In that Grst year we of course did not occupy a very im-portant position in the school, but in our own minds we were characters of the utmost merit, for were we not enrolled in- Model High ? We carried ourselves with dignity and esteemed ourselves worthy of the position. VVe passed that year under the able guidance of Mr. East, who succeeded in an exceptional way at the stupenduous task of separating the continually warring factions of boys and girls. In time, however, it took more than one man to manage us all so the responsibility for the girls was given to Miss Greenland. It was in the eighth grade that we made our first venture into the field of drama. Under the supervision of Mrs. Cannon we presented The Knave of Hearts. Everyone had a part in its production, and we considered it a great success. The school was then, for the first time, able to see the talented actors and actresses that were to make our later plays successful. It was in this year that our first class picnic was held. The girls gave a wienie roast for the boys, but the guests of honor did not turn out in very large numbers and the hostesses were disappointed as well as chagrined. During this year the game of tag in the halls was very popular until the faculty intervened. The next year the boys were so unfortunate as to lose Mr. East, but found la very competent successor in Mr. Good. The girls had a change also, their group being divided and half going to Miss Fast. For the Freshman picnic, held at Lakeland, the class turned- out in a body and pronounced it an overwhelming success. By unanimous agreement, the class pic- nic became an annual affair for us. On returning, after another summer vacation, we found ourselves in senior high. We benefitted not only from the position itself but from the privileges that went with it. Being eligible to evening parties was among the most enjoyable of these. We also had afternoon parties. One of the most memorable of these occasions was one at which the boys entertained the girls. This was almost the first evidence on their part of an- interest in the feminine members of the class, but from this time on we found them very congenial. Miss- Copass took Miss Fast's place as Home Room teacher for part of the girls, which meant that up until this time part of the girls had had a different Home Room teacher each year. As juniors many of our boys were on the basketball squad, and at the end of the year several were called upon to take places left vacant by graduation. Rod Howell was chosen captain of the team, Dana Seeley was elected' President of the Student Council, and Garry Bunting was picked for editor of the Broadcaster. Our greates-t claim to fame that year was the presentation of The Haunted House. We succeeded in collecting more laughs and squeals than any previous performance. The Junior-Senior Prom was also a gala affair. It was very generally attended and thoroughly enjoyed. This year we returned to find ourselves Seniors after all these years of looking up to those mighty ones. We have tried to live up to the traditions of dignity, and hope that we have succeeded. Our last dramatic production was tremendously accepted. We will not soon forget The Importance of Being Earnest. After six years here we feel a part of t-he school life and we sincerely regret leaving. Never will we forget these years at University High School. Bl ll ll ll Il ll I B I ll ll ll ll ll QE! 19
