1-Sophomore Glass gastory At the beginning of the term, in September 1936, twenty boys and twenty-three girls en- rolled in the Westfield High School as Fresh- men. During the years which we are to spend in high school, we have accepted Miss Malla- lieu as our advisor. Those who withdrew from the class during our Freshman year were Arlene Potter, Mar- ian Button, Edna Cole, June Casey, Gordon Cole, Gerald Madison and Ralph Coates. At our first meeting the following officers were elected: President, William Mclnroy, Vice President, Jane Witter, Secretary, Jean Rushmore, Treasurer, Cameron Hubbard, and Historian, Robert Simmons. For our class colors we chose blue and gold and our class flower became the pink rose. Our motto is Rowing, not drifting. It was agreed that each member of the class be assessed fifteen cents a year dues for the paying of bills that might be incurred. In the sport column we might mention Ralph Coates, Cameron Hubbard, Junior La- Bar and Stewart Church, who went out for baseball. The Freshman Class was also re- presented in basketball by William Mclnroy, Cameron Hubbard and Andrew O'Lenick. Most of the Freshman girls joined the Girls' Glee Club. One of our most outstanding events of the year was a Lincoln's Day program presented by the Freshman Class in Assembly. After a year filled with pleasure and hard work, we were eager for the summer vaca- tion, but looked forward to returning again in September as Sophomores. On September 7, 1937, we, the Sophomore Class started another chapter of our high school life with an enrollment of nineteen girls and sixteen boys. During the year two of our members, Lena Campbell and Edith Cary, left us. At our first class meeting the following of- ficers were elected: President, Van Emmons, Secretary, Jean Rushmore, Treasurer, Jane Witter, Historian, Robert Simmons. The Sophomore Class presented an Armis- tice Day Program in Assembly, the program consisting of Series of Tableauxf' depicting scenes during the World War. On the 28th of December we sponsored a dance in the Gymnasium entitled the Soph- omore Hop. The Gym was beautifully decor- ated in blue and silver and Art Wexell's or- chestra from Corning furnished very fine music. The dancing was from 9:00 until 1:00 and everyone had a grand time. Since this is the first event of this kind ever undertaken by the Sophomore Class, we are very glad that it was a success. We are now looking forward to our Junior Year with real enthusiasm. R. S.

Flower Motto Colors Lily of the Valley Today, Not Tomorrows' Blue and Gray On that great day September 6, 1937 when the Freshmen entered High School, we were forty-eight strong. Our debut was memor- able to us although a very ordinary event in the history of the school. It was all new and strange, our knees shook and our voices trembled, but that immature stage is over, we belong to the know it all clan and are now well versed in all activities. The first two six weeks went by rapidly. Of course we had to undergo the usual initia- tion, buffeting about, sophisticated sneers and untimely advice of upper classmen, but these all-powerful beings Soon ceased to be especially interested in this new speciman that had just emerged from eighth grade, and since then we have been fairly happy in our new surroundings. All too soon we found ourselves taking mid year exams. One very cold night in the winter, part of 1he group went for a sleigh ride. During the first two or three games of basket ball, the Freshmen sold candy. The fourth and fifth six weeks terms came and went as the others. making some of us wish that we had studied more. Two members of our group decided to leave our confines and so have departed hence ne- ver to return as members of the class of '41. We are sure they are missing much and sin- cerely hope to keep the other individuals of our class until that great day of graduation. -- Officers - President Lynn Martin Vice Pres.
