unior Glass gastory August 21, 1935, fifty-six bashful and un- sophisticated Freshmen assembled in West- field High School for a most trying exper- ience, that of entering into more advanced scholastic duties. The social activities were assigned to Phy- llis Kelts, President, Alfred Cool, Vice Presi- dent, Robert Adams, Treasurer g Bette Hage- dorn, Secretary, and Janet Dillman, Histor- ian. As our motto for the ensuing four years we selected, Onward, Upward Step by Step. The colors chosen were old rose and gray, and the flower the rose. The only dramatical entertainment that we attempted was Elmer , a humorous play produced under the supervision of our class advisor, Miss Harriett Smedley. The foremost occurrence during the initial year was a picnic at Cherry Springs???? When, on the first of September 1936, we returned to school, we were rejoiced to real-' ize that we need no longer be shy and afraid of the upper classmen because the discredit- ing title of Freshie was removed and suc- ceeded by Soph. At the beginning of the term we selected as officers, Alfred Cool, President, Phyllis Kelts, Vice President, Ruth Truax, Treasur- er 3 Joseph Eberle, Secretary, and Bette Ha- gedorn, Historian. The only function for class entertainment held this year, was a weiner roast on the Dug Road. Under the able direction of Miss Harriett Smedley, a play entitled, When Christmas Comes , was enacted for the assembly pro- gram. The cast of characters included such starlets as: Fred Brugger, Joseph Eberle, Jack Baker, Alfred Cool, Lauris Howland, Ruth Truax and Bette Hagedorn. On September 7, 1937 the calendar again beckoned us to resume our studies. We were now regarded as upper classmen by the Freshmen and Sophomores and were expect- ed by the faculty to establish good examples for the newer entries into High School. As is the custom we elected the officers as follows for the coming school term: Alfred Cool, President, Robert Adams, Vice Presi- dent, Neil Davis, Treasurer, Ruth Truax, Se- cretary and Bette Hagedorn, Historian. In preparation for the Junior Prom, we conducted a dancing party, endeavoring to teach those who were not gifted in that art. Later in the evening refreshments were served. As soon as the weather permitted, we as- sembled for one of the everlasting popular frolics, a sleigh-ride. Under the capable su- pervision of Miss Smedley, an enjoyable eve- ning was had by all despite the fact that the low temperature made it necessary for us to adjourn to the warm atmosphere of indoors. At the conclusion of our Junior year sever- al students departed from our midst: Lora Atwell Swimley, Harold Cary, Donald Clark, Ellen King Styles, Bernice King, Phyllis Kelts, Horton Skinner, Wilbur Hamblin, Law- rence Howland, Reva Moore Ross, Meredith Miles, Clifford McFall, Melbourne Charles, Joseph Eberle, Janet Dillman, Ruth Coates Chase, Hazel Empson, Myrtle Plumstead, Ar- nold Ray, Mildred Zimmer Larrison and Ber- tha Stanton Parslow. In the spring of 1938 we realized the fulfil- ment of our first dream, the Junior Prom. For this annual festivity, the gym was beau- tifully decorated in our class colors. The dance was a financial as well as a social suc- cess. When, at Commencement time, the Sen- iors bestowed upon us the mantel, it was one of the outstanding events of our High School career. We resolved to guard it and keep it as pure and spotless as we received it. Upon our promotion from the Junior to the Senior Class of 1939 we became aware of the obstacles we had overcome to reach our pre- sent position and also the difficulties which must be surmounted before we reach our fi- nal destination, GRADUATION.
