-.........-------- Class History Into the portals of the most magnificent high school in America, marched by far the most brilliant class ever to argue, fight, make life miserable for the teachers, and, last but not least, to somehow make grades where grades had not been before. This class naturally wishing to break records, did so by being the largest ever to enter the high school up to that time, the dumbest to make good grades, the laziest to make a pretense of work. and the greenest to decorate the building. The girls all fell for junior and senior fellows and to this day they are sincerely loved by the girls of the classes of '33 and '34 for getting those terrible boys out of their way, They had two class parties which were punctured by playing basketball and running up and down the fire escapes. At one of these parties several couples won their laurels in other sections and were awarded with letters to their parents which almost requested punishment. The rest of the class played games which resulted in cuts and bruises, in 'he uppzr hall of the old building. One of the foremost ringleaders in all activities, good, bad. and otherwise, was the class president, Ann Jessup. As sophomores the girls showed their strength by winning several senior boys and the inter-:lass basketball tourney. Much confusion was noticed in class meetings, for the boys all voted against anything the girls suggested just for the sake of causing trouble. 'lhty enjoyed no class parties because of this failing as the boys and girls were evenly divided. As class president, Beth Bray did her best to keep the members on friendly terms and it seems that she succeeded in starting them on the right way. - As juniors they obeyed the call of childhood and celebrated with a kid party. Of course. fond memory will not let them forget Mr, I.ec's rompers, hair ribbons, short dress- es, bare legs, and all day suckers. The class play was given, but far be it from any member to divulge the secrets of the backstage activities during rehearsal. The Cust was entertained with a party by their sponsor, Mr, Lee. They managed to scramble their brains enough to win the Scholarship Banquet. thus breaking another tradition which says the junior class is usually the dumbest. The fellows had by this time grown up enough to go with freshman girls and the girls went with fellows from all four classes. Six of the girls gave a farewell party to the fellows who had graduated the year be- fore. As fate will have it, though, only three of the fellows were faithful to the girls who gave the party. although one of them lowered himself to being faithful to two of the girls at one time. Junior-Senior Reception was a time of broken dates, sad, sad, girls and scared, scared fellows, Great responsibility for the success of this event lay on the sturdy shoulders of Thurman DeMoss, who was class president. As seniors, this class again broke all records by not putting on any dignity or pretense cf dignity. They even went so far as to allow teachers to call them down. On only one subject did they refuse to be phased. for at least five couples managed to keep on speak- ing terms even though some got lost at Turkey Run, slid off in snowdrifts, and had oc- casional quarrels and many other troubles. They again elected Thurman DeMoss presi- dent, as he seemed to have ability in this special line of work, namely, going with senior girls, During this year the class sponsor became engaged and all the girls wished they could follow her example. In spite of its undigniiied ways this class has always shown its superior mentality by working only when necessary. Chief among the high lights of its high school career has been the publishing of an annual. Those long hours of waiting for an inspiration, the joys of meeting new friends while searching advertising, the trips to neighboring towns, the embarrassment of looking for a store manager in the basement when he was in his office upttairs, and the worry, worry, worry for hours finally to be crowned with shining success, have all had their part in the building of the class of 1936.
