Class Flower: llelphinium Class Colors: Blue and White Thirty-:ix ambitious students enrolled as Freshmen in the fall of 1934. It was a different kind of school life that we had entered, and it was several weeks before we were fully acquainted with the customs and requirements of high school routine. We were considered only in min- or parts of the high school activities and it looked like the four years ahead of us would be dreary and strenuous. But when we showed the upper classmen what we had to contribute to athletics, scholarship tests and musical activities, we then stepped into the places we were destined to fill. The Freshman year with all it's new interests was busy and en- joyable. The Sophomore year soon arrived. We had lost several of our class members. New and more perplexing problems awaited us in our studies as well as in our social life. We now had made real places for ourselves in our high school activities and found them to be of great ine terest. Our Junior year brought thrilling experiences. The first import-- ant one was the selection and presentation of our class play, A Sweep- ing Victoryf' It proved to be a lot of work, good fun, and as nearly as we could make it, a REAL sweeping victory. About the same time, too, we chose our class colors, blue and white and our class flower, the del- phinium. After much debating class rings were- selected and by the middle of January the Juniors were proudly displaying their Jewelry. At the Kirwan Hotel we honored the Seniors with the annual Junior-Senior Reception. This was the last big event of our Junior year. It seemed impossible that on September 7, 1937 this group of 22 students could be enrolling for the last time in Wayne High. Eleven of our number had entered grade school together in 1926. Our great in- crease had come in 1930 when our school district was enlarged. Four students have been wlith us since then. This year we have had one new student come to us from Spencerville. Our final enrollment is now 23. tContinued On Next Pagel

Senior Class History fContinued From Preceding Panel At the beginning of the year we carefully selected the following capable class officers to supervise the activities of our last year: President .......................................................,,............. Dewey Rinehart Vice-President .,........... ,,,.,.,,, R obert Blank Secretary-Treasurer ,.,..,. ,,,, J 0 Anne Walters News RGDONLGI' ............. ...... .,........ .,.,., C a r olyn Wilson A few weeks later a committee of three members, Byron Daw- son, Waldo Douglas and Edna Deck, was appointed to take charge of our candy sales for the year. At this time we wish to express our ap- preciation to those who have so faithfully patronized us during the year The most wonderful event of our high school days came in Nov- ember 8, when we entered the new school building which we had stead- ily watched being constructed. It then became our place for the remain- der of our school days. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go out to those who have sacrificed and dilligently Worked to provide rs vxith srch in adequately equipped building to make our work more enjoyable and ef- ficient. In January the annual staff was elected. The advertising manag- ers immediately started their work to make possible one of the biggest ard best editions of THE WAYNE ever published. The individual pictures were taken February 10, and group pic- tures of the various classes and organizations in both Junior and Sen- ior high, and the grades were taken on March 18. And so we come to the last chapter. We linger wistfully ov er' it's pages, but finally the end must enevitably come. We all join our talent and enthusiasm in supporting and presenting our last dramatic attempt, the Senior class play. We regretfully receive the royal entertainment which the Junior-Senior Reception brings. It is with mingled sadness and anticipation that we come to Baccalaureate and Commencement. And now, we gently close the book and bravely and eagerly turn our gaze to- ward life's new' and greater adventures. LENORE BOWDLE
