HISTORY of the Class By Carrie Mickelberg ★ In the fall of 1931 two hundred and twenty-two freshmen Hung wide the ancient portals of that great institution of higher learning, West Aurora High School. All the leading curricular events and activities found representatives from the freshmen. Presently the need for organization became apparent, and a subsequent election followed. With Tod Ochsen- schlager, President; Virgil Gilman, Vice-President; Jack Holslag, Sec¬ retary, and Robert Jones, Treasurer, the freshmen were established as an independent unit. March 18 found the freshmen entering into the social whirl with the traditional costume ball in the gymnasium. Thus was culminated the initial year at High School. Chandler Rowley was elect¬ ed to guide the class during its soph¬ omore year. Assisting him were Joe Reising, Vice-President; Venita Robbie, Secretary, and Myrtle Lind¬ ahl, Treasurer. Tod Ochsenschlager, Chandler Rowley, and John Marsh were rewarded in heavyweight foot¬ ball by receiving letters. Not to be outdone by their bulkier classmates, Chester Davis, Virgil Gilman, John ★ of 1935 Nelson, Bernard Murtaugh, and Wil¬ bur Van Deventer received light¬ weight letters. As their contribution to the social activities of the year, the sophomores held a Valentine party on February twenty-seventh. As Juniors, the Class of ’35 under the excellent leadership of John Marsh, with Jack Holslag, John Nelson, and Bob Fraser as assistants, made a noteworthy and successful attempt to gain prestige. The Booster Club, Girl Resrves, the Band, Glee Clubs, El Circulo Espanol, and the G. A. A. had junors at their helms. As a part¬ ing tribute to the erstwhile Class of ’34 we sent them on their way with the glamorous Junior Prom. The exe¬ cutive powers of the Senior Class were placed in the hands of Elbridge Flanders, Thomas Held, Sue Egan, and Alberta Seavey. The school was entertained by the Senior Class at a Hallowe’en party. As a climax to their dramatic career, the seniors presented their class play, “Peg O’ My Heart”. The Junior Prom, followed by Commencement, brought to a close our four years of success and happiness at West High. ★ 26 ★
