You are invited to sit in on a reading of the diary of the class of 39 . SEPTEMBER 1935 Today we made our timit debut. Such excitement! Such enthusiasm! A few of us kept up the reputation of a Freshman by making the usual silly errors. Everything is so diderent and thrill- ing! We have come to broaden our knowledge. but we are also looking forward to many- good times, and to acquiring new friends. SEPTEMBER 1936 Again we are pacing the corridors of Van Wert High School. However, we feel a bit more confi- dent than we did in the fall of '35. The teachers are no longer strangers, and we have become accustomied to the routine. The entire class is to he together this year in the Study Hall. We feel we are going to like this under the able leadership of Mr. Bowen and Mr. Livingston. SEPTEMBER 1937 Now that we have successfully completed half of our high school career we have a different aspect. Many new desires have been created. We have been branded as becoming more proud. but also more ambitious. We are looking forward to two particularly important events, the Junior Class Play, and the Junior-Senior Prom. SEPTEMBER 1938 How long we have waited for the time when we could call ourselves Seniors! Ah! We have more than ever to look forward to. Many new students have joined our class and some old ones have left us. Besides there are other noticeable changes. We are enjoying the advantages of a newly decorated and lighted school. After an interesting campaign the following oflicers were elected: Bill Stuckey, president: Bill Kennedy. vice-president: Nolen Stuckey, secretary: and .loan Coupland, treasurer. We will always enjoy thinking over the part our class played in athletics. Fourteen members of that successful football squad were Seniors. as well as six members of the basketball -squad being from our class. The girls also made a name for themselves by winning the Intra-Mural Basketball Tournament for the third consecutive year. The following students were elected to the National Honor Society as Juniors: Ernestine Gallauoo. Paul Yager. Bill Brown. Alice Rose Hisey, Treva Miller, Eileen Becker, ,loan Coupland, and Richard King. This year Eldon Lambert. Mary Louise Morehead, Francis Landis, Margaret Fox, Esther Shaffer, Helen Miller, Bill Stuckley, Margaret Updegrove. Janet Murphy, Bob Todd, Madalyn Gamble, and Harriet Kenyon were added to the membership. We feel that recognition should be given to Ernestine Gallapoo for being chosen to take the D. A. R. citizenship test. As you will remember our Junior Class Play, Growing Pains, was a great success, with Phyllis Pond and Bill Stuckey having the leads. This year we changed from a comedy to a world war story, The Enemy. Bill Snyder and Phyllis Pond had the leading roles. After entertaining the Seniors at Prom last year, it was quite pleasant to he entertained by the class of '40. Thank you, Juniors! ALICE ROSE HISEY.
