THF JUNIOR CLASS ff ir S ROM ph jiiber eighth to June tenth, we Juniors have had the only hII kO junior year, and therefore the best one, we ll ever have. Our fun began IQf BUM with the beginning of school when we welcomed Margot Martin and IB Sfe gR Caroline Henton from Spokane, Barbara Hart. Honey Holland, and Maryann Dykman from Portland, Betty Ribelin from Chehalis, Eleanor Pitchford from Aberdeen. Dorothy Purcell from Oakland. California, and Suzanne Miley from Everett. On Hallowe ' en our skit. The Ballad of Mary Jane, with Bunny and Gussie as our stars and the entire class as the supporting cast, won the cup for the best performance of the evening. The audience, exhausted by the senior skit, rallied sufficiently to become re-exhausted by the laughter which Mary Jane. Inc. pro- voked. Our Food Booth at the Christmas Carnival was tops, and if pressed, we might admit that the Junior Christmas Dance was the best dance we ' ve ever gone to. One afternoon in the middle of January, the Class of 1943 burst upon a startled Study Hall like a premature Spring, and every Thursday since then no one could possibly miss us in our bright kelly green sweaters with the white emblems. Our favorite saying each week has been. Don ' t forget the Junior Sale on Friday afternoons: ice cream and glazed doughnuts! Not a girl forgot unless she was at the diet table -and even then It is always an honor for a Junior to be appointed Crucifer and Flag Bearer at mid-years. Honey Holland became Crucifer with Honey Johnson as her alter nate. and Bunny Lenham was appointed Flag Bearer. The evening crucifers were Betty Ribelin and Ann Sprowl. Fun, food, and the floor— the floor, food, and fun! Just three little words arc all that are necessary to tell you what you need to know about the Junior House- party at the Metzger ' s in April. Our hostesses were Catherine. Honey Johnson, and Avonne. The highlight of our year was the Junior Prom which was held in the Great Hall on April the twenty-fifth with every girl looking her best and with her favorite beau. Nothing is more beautiful or more thrilling than our dance to the Seniors and. incidentally, for ourselves. This year s Prom closed a year full of fun, friend- ship, and happiness for us all. Our best wishes go with the class of 1942 in whose footsteps our own will fall so very soon. Elka Robbins and Ann Sprowl. Class XL [251

THE STUDENT COUNCIL S| 1hORE this year than ever before is understood ihe importance of co- Hifl N tfG operation and absolute obedience in ordinary times as well as in times rl I W li stress. With war to the west of them and war to the east of them. Illl Sw ill y® ' ? Americans should realize the responsibilities and duties which they must assume in order that the freedoms of Democracy may triumph, ultimately, over the slavery of Dictatorship. A well-organized school realizes this fact and Ix ' gins to train its students to govern themselves, not only to achieve group af tion but also to gain In tl)at greatest of all government — per sonal self-control. For the past several years the Seminar) lia had such a form of governnitnt. A Student Council composed of representatives freely elected, annually, by the student body and fatuity has worked in close cooperation with Miss Fitch and Mrs. f owell. Through meetings held each month the Council is able to express the constructive suggestions of the student body in order that the students as well as the faculty may strive to interpret its ideals to those who come here to live and learn. This form of government provides for an efficient honor system in which each girl is responsible for her own actions which, in turn, should be for the best interests of her companions and her school. Only in extreme cases do the junior and senior members of the Student Council act as a court, the Honor Board. In this year of nineteen hundred and forty-two. all school and college students should be especially thankful for the opportunities and privileges which the free- dom-loving American way of life offers to each of them. Thus, we dedicate our- sel ves to the perpetuation of those things which we hold to be sacred, dear, and worth preserving and for which we will give our lives, if necessary, in order that our children may live freely and without fear.
