Ad Astra Per Aspera HISTORY OF THE JAN., '36 CLASS Four years ago, approximately two hundred new students entered into the various activities at Washington. The Seniors gave a grand Freshie Frolic for the new possibilities, who gave the impression of being rather awed and confused. Leone La Duke and Julian Dryer, respectively, chosen as queen and king, reigned royally over the new class. The most important class activity for several terms seemed to be studying. Eventually the sixth term arrived with a class party, at which child- hood games were played with much romping and laughter. The much-looked-for seventh term brought class organization. A most efficient group of officers was elected. During the eighth term the class gave its Freshie Frolic, which the Seniors enjoyed as well as the Freshmen. The next event was the class play entitled Thru the Keyhole. This was such a grand comedy and it was so funny that the laughs couldn't be counted. As this play was such a wonderful financial success, it was important as well as entertaining. Senior Class Day was an event to be remembered always. After four enjoyable as well as beneficial years, the history of the January Class of 1936 must be closed. lt is with numerous regrets that this must be done, but there are more goals to be attained.
