rwffa-1-gf' X HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS MEMORIES How well we Seniors remember that eventful day, September 6, 1932, when we, as Freshmen entered the West Lafayette High School! How excited we were in our new role of life! Although we were a little discouraged by the chilled looks of the dignihed Seniors, we were encouraged by the looks of satisfaction that passed over the faces of the faculty as we assembled in our classrooms. We recall our first class meeting, at which we chose our President, Francis McAllisterg Vice-President, Marjorie Porteus: Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Ashbaker. The following September we returned again, this time as Sopho'nores, and elected Gwenevere Buser as our Presidentg Marjorie Porteus, her assistant: and Ruth Ashbaker, Sec retary-Treasurer. 1 And do you remembefr at the beginning of our Junior year, how eager we were to start to school, some of us anxious to catch our first glance of the new members of the faculty? And a few weeks later, after we were all better acquainted how we organized our class with Gwenevere Buser again as our leaderg Francis McAllister, Vice-President, Wilma Lyons, Secretary-Treasurer? ' Among our social activities of our junior year, we successfully entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Even then, we began to look forward to the time when we too would be entertained by the Juniors. During our Senior year, james Berlean was chosen our leader with Francis McAllis- ter resuming his Vice-Presidencyg and Esther Riggle was elected Secretary-Treasurer. A Christmas party at the home of Marjorie Porteus, and a surprise birthday party on Grace Hinds, at her home, have provided for the entertainment of the class thus far. The class of 1936 is well represented in orchestra. band, glee club, basketball, baseball, and track. So now, with these memories the year is almost ended. Graduation draws near. Thus far we have succeeded in life. We hesitate a little, fearful of venturing out into life alone. Have we let our motto, Onward and Upward, guide us? If so, then we will be prepared to meet the trials of life. If we continue to remember our motto and let it guide us, we shall surely succeed. . ERMA WEINGARTH, Class Historian. 1' 141 P
