N the morning of September 6, 1937, students from Curtisville, Hobbs, Leisure, New Lancaster, Point Isabelle, and Windfall arrived at the Windfall school building to begin their studious and social lives in Windfall High School. To start the social year, we elected class officers who are as fol- lows: president, Merl Huttog vice-president, Ray Frazeeg secretary- treasurer, Betty Jackg and the class sponsor, Miss Mitchell. Our first social event was the freshman initiation on September 16, where the seniors took pride in officiating and the juniors served re- freshments. We freshman hope that they enjoyed it very much. The high school Hallowe'en Carnival took place October 27 in the school gymnasium where the freshman contributed A Trip Around the World. We, who are now looked upon as the Green Freshmen , will show our upperclassmen that we are able to do the things that are, and will be, expected of us. Although we are now called the Green Freshmen , we strive to make Windfall High School proud of the class of 4l . Naomi Meyncke Roberta Van' Horn FRESHM CLASS HI ToRY DAYBREAK In my tent I lie a-sleeping, Unconscious in my slumber deep, The sun from over the horizon peeping Arouses me from profound sleep. The mist is rising from the top Of the water, deep and cool, The fish in their early feeding stop, In the mosses, school by school. The mist is wafted around my tent In whirling eddies curled, The morning breeze has kissed the cheek Of fiowers half unfurled, The early morning Robin's call, Bids me hasten to the stream And I stumble out and view it all' - It seems like a beautiful dream.

N our Freshman year, 1936-1937, our class otlicers were as follows sponsor, Mr. Eastman: president, Harold Coffin: vice president Carmen Reid: and secretary-treasurer, Juanita Engleman. The senior class of 1937 sponsored our freshman initiation, and refreshments were served by the juniors. The refreshments consisted of Cocoa-Cola and candy bars. While we were Freshmen, we had a theater party at the Ritz Theater in Tipton the first semester. We saw Swing Time star- ring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The second semester we had a Wiener roast at the Tipton Park. In October of 1936, our class participated in the Hallowffen Festi- val Sponsored bb' the seniors. Our side show was called Doomed to Die. In our Sophomore year, our class officers were as follows: sponsor, Mr. Scott: president, Iva Stevenson: vice-president, Carmen Reid: secretary-treasurer, Juanita Engelman. This year, our class appointed a new committee called the Wel- SOPI-IO ORE C ASS I-ll TORY fare committee . This committee consists of four class members who are: Mary Leachman, Harold Coffin, Norma Doggett, and Gladys Clem. Their duty is to send tokens of rememberance to sick .or de- ceased members of our class or their immediate family, or any other welfare work we see fit to do. Maxine Whitehead was a member of this committee until her withdrawal from school: we appointed Norma Doggett to fill the vacancy. Our school organized a Student Council this year, consisting of two faculty members, and a member from each class. We appointed Iva Steveson to represent our class. We participated in the Hallowe'en Festival given in October, 1937, in the Windfall High School. Our performance was a Wild West Show. In this we had a campfire scene, western songs sung with the accompaniment of Don Smith and his guitar, a solo whistled by Carmen Reid, and a bucking bronco scene with Myron Henderson acting as the bronco. We ran a very close race with the juniors for first prize, but, at the final count, we took second prize. Each high school class is allowed one party a semester. For our first semester party, we had a skating party at the Tipton skating rink. An enjoyable evening was spent by all attending. Since school started this year, two new students have enrolled in the class. They are Don McPherson, from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and Murray Smith, from Detroit, Michigan. Frank Miller, who was formerly a member of our class, moved to Michigantown. As t'Frankie was a friend of everyone, we miss him very much. We now have forty- one students in our class. As the year ended, we all came to the conclusion that it had been a most successful and happy one. Gladys Clem Iva Steveson - Myron Henderson Page Nineteen

I am the youngest institution in the school and I am the oldest. The school is my heritage when I come into it, and when I go, I leave it to the next generation of Freshies. My mission is to leave the school a better place than I found it. With my many small classmates, I can do this if the upper classmen do not impose too many handicaps upon me. I want to be respected by the upper classmen. I want to have a voice in school affairs. I want my ability and intelligence to be recognized. If the upper classmen will make my path easy now, I will help other Freshies when I grow up. I am the object of all jokes and wisecracks. I am in everyhody's way and jam the halls I am known to be terrorized by the Notice . I want to make the honor roll. I always obey the teachers. When I am a Senior I will act my age. I shall carve my name on every desk. I am the hope of the school. I am the Freshie. to capacity. Page Twenfy-one
