Senior Glass gdktory Progress being the theme of our Year Book, we know of no better illustration of progress than to review our own develop- ment through our four years of High School life. In our Freshmen Year we were forty- eight in number. Although we haven't in- creased in number, we have developed in sta- ture and knowledge. In November 1934 our class became organ- ized with Joseph Sama, Jack Tubbs, Janet Parsons and Jasper Cooper as student lead- ers and Mrsl Bertha W. Eick as faculty ad- visor. , A Valentine's Day party held in the gym was about the only important outside activi- ty of our class during the Freshman year. The first term soon came to an end and- we returned in the autumn of 1935 to find our- selves somewhat advanced and no longer me- naced by the thoughts of being initiated nor the victims of the taunts and jeers of the up- per classmen. The same people were elected officers as in our Freshman year. This year marked the loss of many mem- bers of our class, diminishing our number to less than 40. By this time several of our boys had re- ceived recognition on both the basketball and baseball teams. Our activities during this term were more numerous and versatile, among them being a Weiner roast held in a nearby hollow, a Hal- loween party, and after a beautiful fall of snow, most of the class went on an enjoyable sleigh ride. ' The autumn of 1936 found us on the last half of our journey toward graduation. Jo-P seph Sama, James Parks, Alberta Lowrey, Jasper Cooper and Jack Tubbs were chosen as our class officers. During the Christmas vacation the gymna- sium was attractively decorated in our class colors for the Junior Prom which proved to be both a social and financial success. At Commencement the Seniors entrusted to us the purple and gold mantle, symbol of all the lofty attainments and ideals of our school. , A. - Y Y nf-- September, 1937 found us well equipped and ready for our last year in High School. The J's were again elected officers of our class. In December the Collins Festival Co. was engaged for a four-week series of entertain- ments. The first show was rendered by the Rufus Rose Marionettes, who provided a type of entertainment seldom seen in West- field, in fact, these were the first puppets that many pupils had ever seen. The follow- ing week Arthur F. Kane gave an interesting talk on his extensive travels in- the Orient and Near East. Music lovers were feted-at the next program given by the Melodiers, composed of Miss Doris Peterson and her troup of singers and musicians. The series was concluded by a highly amusing and en- tertaining play entitled, The Mysterious Mr. Mason. An appreciable sum was realized by the class from these programs and we wish next year's Seniors the best of luck in their similar undertaking. g ' In January we attempted a sleigh ride but cinderedg roads made a very lengthy trip im- possible. After the ride Mrs. Eick proved to us her ability as an efficient and delightful hostess by entertaining the class at her home. The Seniors and science classes were again permitted to visit the Corning Glass Works factory and inspect the Elmira Reformatory. The -weather was ideal and this educational excursion was enjoyed by all. The months passed quickly and Graduation was upon us before we knew 'it. Does it seem possible that the awed and ignorant Fresh- men of 1934-35 could ever develop into the sophisticated and world-wise individuals who graduated in 1938? To whom does the credit for such an achievement belong? Surely We were fortunate when Mrs. Eick was appoint- ed our advisor. We are grateful also to the other teachers through whose kindly efforts we have been aided in reaching our goal. As we were graduated a feeling of both gladness and sorrow prevailed: glad because we were soon to go out and take our places in the world and sad because we must leave W. H. S. where we had spent so many happy years. J. T. '38 1
