November 3, 1936 To-day in the gymnasium the freshman civics classes held a mock election. The student body voted for President of the United States. Governor Landon won. We voted also on various problems of the- school. Should one period a Week of health education through intra-mural competition be required of all students? Should the number of extra-curricular activities be reduced? Should the Phoe- nician be published jointly by the junior and senior classes? and on alternate years? Should initiations be conducted entirely Within the group? The final results of the voting were never announced. November 20, 1936 Freshmen were excused a half day to visit the Lorain Steel Company. We walked through the foundry, the laboratory, the pattern and machine shops, and other exhibition buildings. It was a long Walk, and We became so hot and tired that we were glad to go home for a good cleaning November 30, 1936 Our November class meeting was held to-day. Mr. Shappell told us of some of his experiences as a private in the World War. April 16, 1937 The freshmen gave a circus. W'hat fun we had! There was a great variety of acts on the program-a Russian dance, a tap dance group, a parade of the Wooden soldiers, an interpretation of No, No, A Thousand Times No by the boys, and clown acts. May l, 1937 My school work is taking up so much of my time now that I shall not be able to tell you any more news. Next year, though. there will be many more activi- ties about which to write.

It was hard to vote because We were not yet acquainted with one another. James Walter was elect- ed president. I think he Will be a good one because he always has been a leader in our class. The remaining officers were elected as follows: vice- president, Clifford St. Clair, treasurer, William Anderson, secretary, Betty Georgeg student council representatives, Nancy Berkebile and Alton Berkey. October 18, 1936 The majority of the freshmeifwere present at our class party. The re- treshment and entertainment committees surely Worked hard and long to make the party the success it was. A portion of the entertainment was an amateur contest. Nancy Campbell and Mary Jeanne Olander kept the audience in an up- roar with their readings. Lois Ringler, accompanied by Mary Louise Hersh- berger, played a trumpet solo, On the Road to Mandalay. Leonard Puma and Paul Allen, who played a saxophone and clarinet duet, Won the contest. Games and refreshments furnished the fun for the rest of the evening. The cider was very popular, especially with the boys. October 26, 1936 Mr. Ott gave us an interesting talk on Parliamentary Law at the class meet- ing we held this morning. I wonder Whether I ever will learn to say the right thing at the right time in a business meeting. lu-Zfllqikfillflf-KCJX .1 as iinxv nsunurnin 1-1

It is something to be a real high school student and not 'ijust a 'fresihief' Those freshmen look like such youngsters. We surely were not that small last year, were we? September 21, 1936 Our class is getting into the swing of things now! To-day, at our class meeting we elected officers. John McCleary, a true leader, is our new president for the year, and t'Charlie Salem, vice-president. Bob Scharmann is secre- tary, and Ripper Collins holds the money bags. October 19, 1936 Mr. Shappell gave us a talk on football in class meeting this morning. For the remaining time, we had a class sing, an effective means of creating fel- lowship in a large group. - November 7, 1936 Our class party was well-planned with good entertainment. The movies in the auditorium made us laugh until our sides hurt. All thought the girls in the floor show looked very attractive in their evening gowns under our new spot- light. The refreshments consisted of punch, cake, cookies, candy, and ice-cream. Novembexg,123, 1936 In class meeting, everyone praised the committee and our advisers, Miss Witt and Mr. Raab, for helping us with the party. Our loyal treasurer voiced his: ap- peal for dues, funds, contributions, and other pecuniary reimbursements. Then, Miss Reiser's home-room staged an original one-act comedy for us. The actors, Lucy Frank, Jack Ogle, Wesley Rohrer, and 'tBob Scharmann, showed original- ity and talent.
