Whitehall High School T H E C R Y S T A L Amctecn Tlurty wx: Class Motto---'gSuccess Awaits at Labor .s Gate Class Flower-Rose. Class Colors-Red and White. Class Poem We as Seniors, now graduate But keep our thoughts at Hlahor's gate There we know we'll find Success, And our share of happiness. Sometimes our path is hard and bare With many a pit-fall here and there. There is no place to rest our spine But at the top, the view is fine. On life's path so hard and steep We must climb and sometimes creep But if we make this our plan We shall find that we surely can! We may mix our work with play And still move onward every day. But traveling on the weary mile Cheer a brother with a smile! Be happy, let who will be sad So many things to make us glad, And sweeter still than all of these Are friendship and old memories.

Whitehall High School T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Thirty-six :::::::::::::::: A:::::::Q::::::.A::::: A A A A A A A A A A A A A I Class History We, the class of 1936, began our career in September, 1924, with Neva .lenks as teacher. We were then thirty-one in number, and of that number there are eight of the fifteen now graduating: Phyllis Funnell, Frances Benjamin, Winifred Rolph, Mary Nelson, Elizabeth Riesberg, Dorothy Pick, Margaret Pelon, and Ralph Olson. Upon entrance into the second grade wc gained Otis VanSlyke and Alfred Haupt. Mrs. Klett was our teacher. In September, 1926, we again gathered, this time with Miss Mary Cam- eron at the wheel. One of the outstanding memories of this grade for me was thc organization of the WRhythm Band , under the direction of Miss Wiltsie. We performed for the P. T. A. several times that year and believed that we were real folks. When roll was called in 1927 by Miss Beckman, fourth grade teacher, ten of the Class of 736 answered, uPresent,'. ln the year 1928 we were fifth graders with Miss MacDonald as captain of our destiny. At the end of that school year the same ten carried home promotion cards which said wc were entitled to enter the sixth grade, Miss Carleton prepared us to go upstairs, where at the beginning of the next, year, 1930, Mrs. Eva Norris carefully drilled us in all the things we should know, MAgain and againw. Here we acquired June Lamos, now making the eleventh of our present class. ln 1931 we girls curled our hair and the boys smoothed down their vests, we all drew a deep breath, and entered the High School Assembly as full fledged eighth graders. Our class bears the distinction of being Mr. Palmer's first victims. NVe managed to sur- vive the superiorities and contempt of the upperclassinen and in the fall of 1933 the eleven of us plus Charles Snyder registered as Freshmen. We looked such a formidable lot that the hearts of the afore mentioned upperclassmcn quaked and we escaped initiation. We now had a class sponsor, Mr. Cook, but for instructors we were at thc mercy of the entire High School Faculty, Mr. Eriksen, Mr. Folkert, Mrs. Dodge, Mr. Dalman, and Mr. Palmer. Our report cards entitled the same twelve with the addition of Henry Rosenquist to the title of Sop-homores. Our class advisor was Mrs. Dodge. This year the follow- ing changes were made in the faculty-Mr. Folkert replaced Mr. Eriksen as Superintendent and Mr. Dalman replaced Mr. Cook as Principal and Coach. When we returned to school as Juniors, we added Donna Geisinger and Wesley Houlding making our total fifteen. We were ,eligible to become mem- bers of the Dramatic Club. Most of us joined and took prominent parts in both plays during 1934-35. An outstanding event of this year was the Junior and Senior Banquet which was held at Rochdale Inn where we were hosts to the Seniors. Miss Esterdahl was added to the faculty at the beginning' of this year. September 1935! At last we headed the list-upperclassmcnffwith the back seats in the Assembly Room at our disposal. There was one change in the faculty-Mr. Brown replaced Mr. Dalman. We elected the following officers: President, Ralph Olson, Vice President, Phyllis Funnellg Secretary, Winifred Rolphg Treasurer, Dorothy Pick, and Athletic Association Representatives, Margaret Pelon and Henry Rosenquist. At one of our early class meetings, with the approval of Mr. Folkert, we decided to publish an annual, 'QTHE CRYSTAL , for 1936. Frances Benjamin was appointed Editor- in-Chief by our class sponsor, Mr. Folkert. We also decided to have class day. This class has always been well represented in forensics, band, orchestra, Dramatic club. glee clubs and Athletics. Our class colors are red and white, our class flower is the American Beauty rose and our class motto is 'LSuccess awaits at labors gate .
