CLASS HISTORY Today we are freshmen! Miss Petersen was our class advisor and to start things off, we chose as officers Albert Demkovich, president; Harry Blastic, vice president; Paul Demkovich, treasurer, and Rose Adzia, secretary. During that first year in high school, we attempted an achievement that is only possible for upper classmen, scholastic ability, social grace, and that wide awake look that distinguishes the wise student. We put on a play called Why the Chimes Rang . It was the thing with angels and everything. We had a private party and then we had our Freshman Ball. Vaca- tion was drawing near and to celebrate the great event of becoming Sophomores, we had Freshman Class Day. History, will, prophecy, wisecracks, and tears ended our freshman year. Sunburns all gone but the school ' s still there. Same president again this year, with Joe Troksa as vice-president; Paul J. Demkovich, treasurer; and Rose Adzia, sec- retary. Social functions included a private party in the girls ' gym, and a formal Sopho- more Dance. A one-act matinee, Jealousy Plays a Part , was our class play. Miss Canine was chosen as our class advisor. When class elections come along, it ' s always taken for granted that the president will be a boy. Not this election though! Mary Hruskocy, president; Paul Seman, vice president; Jask Patterson, treasurer; Mary Gurchik, secretary. This was the year when we woke one day and found a raging blizzard outside, and this was the year when we didn ' t go to school that day. Great big he-men such as John Palikan, Peter Javorcic, and Gerald Kalmas made their debut in the class play, Seven Sisters. A Hungarian comedy that was well worth the time and effort to see. Junior-Senior classes held a joint picnic. Athletic contests, games, and refresh- ments, wind, sand, and more wind made it an event to be remembered. Prom theme was Maytime . Senior year, last year, and probably the best and busiest year. Individual class plays were abolished, and replaced by two all-school productions. T. B. tests were given to all seniors. New eligibility regulations were set up for athletics, class and club officials, editors of school publications, etc. No snow for Christmas but we had a white Easter. What a Life first all school production, brought people in flocks to our school. The world premier of Moonstone held two nights — April 25-26. Class night committees were announced by Joe Troksa, president. Other officers were Paul Seman, vice president; Mary Hruskocy, secretary; Nellie Clark, treasurer. Miss Canine, our advisor, has the appreciation of the students she has guided through their high school years. Page thirty
