,a,.w14-A--Till! i'NESSMUK'QT-T'WOT if JT J- THE CLASS OF '36 The time has come when, in the course of our drama, we must see the curtain fall on the last act of our first sally on the stage. Our play so far has had innumerable faults which, in the light of later experience, we could now improve. Yet in spite of these failures, perhaps because of them, as we stand on the eve of our last performance and await the ringing down of the final curtain, we can look with confidence toward the future and the problems which must confront us when we leave the theatre of our high school days. Twelve years ago as young and ignorant first graders we entered the neat, red brick building on Bacon street. we were shown seats and the curtain rose, revealing to our young minds the twelve long years ahead. These years have passed and we find ourselves at last at the goal toward which we aimed-our graduation. lf we are not prepared for life, it is no fault of the immortal faculty who have controlled our goings and our comings. We have been pursued from one class to anotherg from study hall to study hall, from cafe- teria to oflice and back again to our haven, the cafeteria. we know that, at times, we have been exasperatingg unquestionably our mentors have wasted on us many hours of valuable time that should have been given over to more important matters. Without failure some of these benign personalities have tracked us down wherever we happened to be hiding, and in this pursuit they have employed every device from special messenger to radio, and very seldom have they failed. Our worthy coaches in this drama lat times a comedy! have always managed to keep us speaking down stage and appearing at rehearsals on time. lf at times we have exasperated, yes even angered the faculty in the role of directors, we apologize for every misdeed and sincerely hope that the next cast will be better actors and better people to work with. We realize that we are just one more Senior Class, that we count only as Class of '36 in the books of the Wellsboro High Schoolg but we hope that you will not forget us. We can never forget you. G. A. D., '36 SOCIAL AFFAIRS The social activities of the year started off in a line manner at the Hallowe'en Frolic Wednesday evening, October thirtieth, when the high school dance orchestra made its debut, Udiscoursing sweet music and providing an impetus to the tripping of the light fan- tastic. All went home pleased with the Melodeers, carrying with them light hearts but aching feet. Thanksgiving-eve was again the occasion of a merry party as the school danced to the strains of Red Sails in the Sunset, played by the Me1odeers. Junior Week rolled along and it was then that the memorable Leap Year Dance occurred. On the first day of February the gym was a. festive place filled with merry couples, who greatly ap- preciated the tap dance, multiple dances, and those for which there is not a name known in existence. Everyone uttered complimentary sayings about the Tri-Hi-Y dance on the fifteenth of February. All treated themselves to a good time either playing Monopoly, arguing over cards or Htruckin' away. As a novelty the girls furnished refreshments, and the punch and wafers were welcomed after the vigorous foot work. However, when the music was the best, and the mixed-up couples were the gayest, the clock jumped ahead to the eleventh hour and the gay trippers tripped home or elsewhere. April seventeenth brought the long awaited day when the girls could don their trailing dresses and await their handsomeQ?J escorts. Ballons, punch, formals, the hours nine to one, these spell the Junior Prom, and it was indeed a success. The Senior Ball, the last dance of the year, was, we think, the finest dance of all. On Tuesday, May fifth, Curly Johnson, the great maestro, whiled the hours away for us with great rapidity and one o'clock came all too soon. We have had this year many fine dances. May the pleasures we have enjoyed be shared by the succeeding classes in the years to come. J. K. M., '36 l
