$ A S Members of the school bus squadron pose beside one of the “highway schooners’’. The two cafeteria cooks are caught in the midst of preparing some tasty viands for the lunch hour rush. Mr. Clary eats his pie and likes it. These teachers were told to pose like nice little children. Mr. Fambrough demonstrates a power tool. (Rather boring, don’t you think?) Our Coach looks downhearted about losing that last game—as this picture shows. After the banquet comes speeches— but Mr. Hoemer and Mr. Rhoades seem not to mind.

i cuiarimts femora In the fall of 1936, seventy-four bright faces turned toward Mr. Williams for guidance. We were frightened the first several weeks of initiation, but our upperclassmen soon found out that we were able to stand up for our rights. After we had been introduced into the many different organizations, we settled down to the every day routine. The Freshmen were well represented at the May Day celebration of that year. After a picnic in the spring, we parted until the fall of 1937. The summer passed and we were reunited. Although we had decreased in number, our knowledge had increased. As Sophomores we took it upon ourselves to enter the field of journalism. During the term we edited the school paper at regular intervals. Juniors at last! We are almost at the top. We started the ball rolling with Markets—Selling Pencils—Jamborees and the Class Play, “A Ready Made Family”, which was a great success. Before Christmas we received our class rings and were very proud exhibitors of them. With spring came the grand event that we had been working for—the Junior-Senior Reception. It was a very nautical affair. The term ended with the picnic at Filburn’s Island. At last we are “IT”, as the school song says. But being Seniors gave us no privileges, because we were setting examples for the under-class-men. In November we saw the “Birdie” at Riggs Studio. The class voted to buy things for the gymnasium, and so went to work. We had a market and Jamboree. The class play, “Grandma Goes Hollywood”, turned out a great success. On May 21, the Class of 1940 said farewell to their High School Days and took their honored places in the great wide world.
