The Class of 1936


Class History
In September, 1932, our class entered a new world (high school), awkward, terrified and green. We always seemed to be in the way of the upper classmen and nothing we did was proper.
Our first horror, which appears annually to all Freshman Classes, was initiation. We were stage struck, at first, but we soon overcame this while accomplishing our miraculous feats. Numerous rules were published by the Seniors and we had to obey them or suffer the consequences.
Our first entertainment was a play, "Circus Solly", and we were assisted in this, our first dramatic attempt, by the Sophomore Class. In the Spring we held the Freshman dance. Everyone had an enjoyable time, proving it to be a social, if not a financial success. We sold Christmas cards which proved to be very profitable and made a great increase in our Washington fund. At the close of the year, we enjoyed a picnic at Healy's Park. Swimming, boating and dancing were enjoyed by all. Edward Lockrow, Lillian Eaton, Elwood Eaton and Dorothy Dorman were our leaders during the year.
We entered our Sophomore year with big ideas. We still thought that studying in high school was easy but we soon changed our minds when it came to Geometry and Caesar. Nevertheless, having departed from the ranks of green Freshman, and advanced to those of wise Sophomores, we tackled the hard tasks ahead of us.
Because of the absence of our advisor, we didn't sell any Christmas cards, but we did hold a card party in the Spring. Again, may I repeat, it was a social, if not a financial, success. During this year our Washington fund did not increase very rapidly. Benny Adamkoski, Elwood Eaton, Evelyn Baird, Lillian Eaton, Allen Stewart and Sally Young managed our affairs for the year. In June we all enjoyed a picnic at Lansings' where swimming, boating and miniature golf provided amusements. This was also a farewell party in honor of Miss Evelyn Fortmiller.
We really began to feel very grown up (this may not have been noticeable to the faculty), when we entered our Junior year. As the time was growing nearer for our Washington trip and Commencement, we decided we must increase our funds considerably at once. We worked strenuously this year.   We sold Christmas cards and a large amount was added to our funds. In the Spring, we decided to reveal our hidden dramatic talent and presented "Flo's Beau". It proved to be a great success and a sum of one hundred and fifty dollars was netted.
In May we held the first Junior Prom ever to be held in Broadalbin High School. It was a gay and colorful affair with a ten piece band furnishing the music. Evelyn Baird, Lewis Frank, Elwood Eaton, Helen Buell and Edward Lockrow were our leaders for the year. Our annual picnic was held at Lansings'.
What! Was this a dream or were we really Seniors. It didn't seem possible that our four years of work in high school were almost completed. The majority of our time had to be spent in earning money and studying. Although at times it proved very tiresome, we really enjoyed it. Our first duty and may I add, great pleasure, was to initiate the Freshmen. We forgot that three years ago we were in their same embarrassing positions and made them do hard and embarrassing feats.
The rest of the first semester was spent in performing certain Senior duties. The time came to choose rings and jackets. The selecting of rings proved to be no job at all but no one of the student body of Seniors seemed to want to agree when it came to the question of sweaters and jackets. Finally we decided on gray suede jackets with red letters. In October we presented "The Light Eternal". We had to work but it was a great success. We, ourselves, were astonished to find such dramatic talent among our classmates. Just imagine Divvy making an audience cry! At Christmas we held a Carnival Dance and also sold Christmas Cards to help swell our Washington fund (we had regular customers now.)
In the last semester, we continued with our work. In February, we held a pancake supper which proved a success. Ed made the coffee! During the year we sold candy and ice cream. At last it was time for our trip to Washington. Every one enjoyed the trip tremendously. We made many new acquaintances but were really glad to arrive home. Lillian Eaton, Lewis Frank, Elwood Eaton and Gene Haff managed our affairs for the year. Now a hard and tedious struggle lies ahead of us but we all feel that with a little ambition, and assistance of the faculty, we will graduate with honors. Success to all my classmates.
