To lead the class through its senior year, john Reddig was again chosen, while William Miller was chosen Vice President, Betty Fader, Secratary, and Lucille Margin and Charles Diehl, Treasurers. Leading the Blue and Gold staff as Editor- in-Chief was Stuart Altland, who had the able assistance of other journalistic members of the class. Under the guidance of our gallant coaches, the football team showed excellent form in winning the C. V. A. L. championship. The class of '37 contributed to this victorious team james Leedy, and Francis Lehr, Co-captains, Wilbur Beckner, Alfred Rock, and Glenn Henicle. The basketball team included Captain John Reddig and the sturdy followers, Francis Lehr, Daniel Kirk, Kenneth Ankerbrand, and Gilson Martz. To rouse the spirit on the field and floor were Arlene Hepfer, Norman Diffen- derfer, Helen Kahl, and Lucille Margin. Head managerships in varsity athletics were held by Merle Barnhart in football, and by Robert Sollenberger in basketball. Reverting again to the scholastic vein, we find Harold Whetstone president of the newly formed Forensic Club, supported by several other members from the class. The class of '37 exhibited well its musical talent, for a large number of its members functioned in the band, orchestra, and chorus. In the cast of Belle of Bagdad , the operetta staged by the Choral Club, the seniors were well represented. Close upon the heels of the operetta was the Spring Frolic, the Dinner Dance, and the Prom. All these functions were put over with much zest and added much enjoyment and lively fun to our latter days in W. H. S. A new idea was instituted in the Senior Class Picnic held on Class Day at Cold Springs Park. The class play entitled Moon River Rancho a rip roaring western, was put on as the last of our class functions, and as was the case in all our activities, it was executed skillfully and well. Baccalaureate services were held in the Arcade Theatre with Reverend Ilgenfritz delivering the sermon. This, with the commencement exercises, concluded the history of the class of '37. Appreciation should be extended to the class advisors who, through their efforts, made possible so full, profitable, and joyous a life at W. H. S.

Twenty eniot isfofz President john Reddig Vice President William Miller Secretary Betty Bader Treasurers Lucille Margin Charles Diehl Class Colors: Maroon and Steel Class Flower: Talisman Rose Four years ago one hundred and seventy-three timid and appalled freshmen were seen for the first time wandering about the halls and classrooms of W. H. S. They did not, however, retain their timerity or consternation long, for soon afterward this class met, under the guidance of Miss Fitz and Mr. Bechtel, to organize and elect its oliicers. Having elected john Reddig as president, the class of '37 was merrily on its way to a notable career. During the year the freshmen not only supplied the football teams with promising material but on the gym floor strong boys' and girls' volley ball teams. In basketball the girls had a fairly successful season, while the boys had an even more successful one. During the year 1934-55, as a sophomore class, with john Reddig again as pres- ident, ,37 supplied the football teams with such stars as james Leedy, Francis Lehr, and Glenn Henicle, while they gave to the basketball team Glenn Henicle, Francis Lehr, and john Reddig. The sophomores also distinguished themselves by having the largest number of students on the honor roll. As juniors, the class again did not lack in school spirit, for a large portion of the members represented it in the Senior Orchestra, the varsity teams, and in forensic and literary activities. The jolly juniors showed their originality by promoting the first combined fashion and amateur show in the high school. As a fitting close to the year, a most successful junior-Senior Prom was sponsored by the class of 37. 3'?X, If i 07' X flkgllx lad X ,kfyfw tg, - - ' ni? f- ft . 1 we ff .4 .rf 3 f- V1 33 ' l F11 I VW Fill I I -1-YP, ,V--fL-.-lx - ,iii--v QS -.
