History of the Class of I936 Nearly four years ago an event occurred vyhich has had and will continue to have far reaching consequences on life at University High School On Sep tember lZ l93Z the class of 36 began its studies at that institution At first we exhibited the characteristi s of timidity and gullibility common to all Fresh man classes but we soon outgrew these and became important factors in all the school activities During the last four years we have grown from mere grade school graduates to young men and wom n r ady to commence the strug gle for a college education or to make our way in our chosen vocations Our Hrst or introductory year at University High School was spent under the guidance of Donald Riddell president He was assisted by Robert Ensign vice president Elinor Coble seeretary and 'I homas Shedd treasurer Our advisers were Miss Taylor and Miss Boysen 'Ihe principal event was the Spring Party the first of four superb entertainments given by the Class of 36 As Sophomores the Class of 36 began to get into the spirit of life at Uni versity High School Many of our members began to achieve scholastic prom inence and we participated in more of the activities such as clubs and athletics We were fortunate in having as class ofiicers Karl Emch president Frances Miss Taylor and Vlr Habberton served as our advisers Robert Iznsign president Karl Emch vice president Elinor Coble secre tary and Elin Kudo treasurer were elected to serve us in the official positions as the Class of 36 entered its Junior year Mr Habberton and Miss Changnon were elected adyisers We became more dignified and self important for vue were now upperclassmen Our Junior year was marked by strenuous and not whollv unsuccessful attempts to sell candy in the lower hall In March vye pre sented the Class Play Only Me We vyound up the year by entertaining the Seniors at the annual Junior Senior Banquet and our treasury haying with stood the strains of our many activities we were ready to go into our last year at University High School Our Senior year was the most crowded and perhaps the happiest. of our four high school years. Events followed one another in rapid succession. In October vue elected the following ofiicers and adyisers: Wells Tanner, president: Elin Kudo. yice-president: Elinor Coble. secretary: Sherman Reed, treasurer: and Miss McHarry and Miss Smith, adyisers. In the same months we had our class picnic and our Halloween Party. On Noyember 23rd the Class Play, David Copperfield' one of the best ever given at University High School was presented before a full house. The basketball supper marionette show, and the dramatics evening vyere three of the many spring events in which the Seniors actively participated. Our year book, which we present tonight is the crown- ing feature of our career. Tonight our four-year stay at Uniyersity High S hool ends, and vue turn our faces toward new horizons. But, although our Alma Mater will never again hear our shouts of laughter and see our bright young faces it shall always remain in our minds the symbol of four yery happy and valuable years. Thoughts of the friends we have made and the activities in which we have par- ticipated will always be with us.
