L THE VAN OF 1932 J CLASS HISTORY In the year 1928, fifty of us started our first year of high school. A short time after we enrolled in our school subjects, we had our first class meeting. Mary Frances Caress and Raymond McHargue were our spon- sors. We elected the following class officers: George Starinsky, presi- dent, Virginia Altman, vice president, and Woodrow Wilson, secretary and treasurer. Soon after that, we gave a Hallowe'en party which all enjoyed. Later several members of our class gave two plays entitled, Smiles and Matches are Matches , written by Della Pell. In the inter-class basketball tournament our class came within a few points of beating the Sophomores. George Starinsky of our class was a member of the varsity basketball team. Maradean McIntyre, a Freshman, was elected assistant yell leader. That first year, we heard the upper classmen boast continually about what they would accomplish before and during their Senior year. How- ever, we shouted our ambitions to the Wind . In spite of this fact, we obtained knowledge and created ideals that would help us thereafter. In the second year of our high school life, the following class officers were elected: Della Pell, president, Thelma Mathis, vice president, and Maude Marian Herbert, secretary and treasurer. Socially, athletically, musically and, no doubt, studiously we were en- gaged, and we had about as good a time as anybody. However, we can- not say that the Hallowe'en party was as much enjoyed as the one which We gave the previous year. Many contests in athletics were won by us during our second year. The Sophomore girls won the final inter-class baseball tournament which was against the girls of the Senior class. One of the feature events of the year was a funeral given to the Senior girls after we defeated them. In addition, our boys won the inter-class baseball tournament. In the Junior Class, we retained the same class officers that We had when we were Sophomores. As usual, we gave the traditional Hallow- e'en party for the Seniors. In return the Seniors gave us a hard time party . In that year, our first victory in athletics was the defeat of the Sen- ior boys in the inter-class baseball tournament. The next day, the Seniors, at chapel period, presented us a goat in token of defeat. To repay, we gave them a funeral . Yes, we were proud of our basketball players: Compliments of J. A.
