7 A uae-Nwr JUNIOR CLASS le, the was to learn inspiring at old timers. class of '37, started off with a flourish. Our first big task how to be high school students.It was terribly strange and awe first but we soon were more or less successfully acting like Class officers were then elected, Kenneth Brown, as president' Bertha Peterson, Vice-president, Clara Sherwood secretary'and Valiere will ton, treasurer. ' ' Initiation Day was just one long jitter for us as the Juniors tried hard to impress us with their comparative worth, All of us were required to wear green that day and to do the Juniors' bidding. Some of the whims we had to obey were surprising. An innovation introduced while we were Freshmen was a banquet given at the high school for our parents and teachers. A program of talks and songs by members of the class was olimaxed by a basketball game between two teams chosen from among the boys of the class. This was the first time during the year that we had a chance to learn what happens when one eats more than e- nough,but the second opportunity came when we hadapdcnic at Minto's woods. There the loads of sandwiches furnished by the girls and the dozens of hot dogs, buns, and marshmallows brought by the boys filled even the most ambi- tious eaters. During our first year our ways of making money were not only moderate- ly successful but extremely varied as well, ranging from the usual sale of candy to ice cream, flower bulbs, and buttermilk. The next year, 1934-'35, Roger Thill served as presidentg Valiere lil- ton, was Vice-presidentg Jayne Allner, secretary, and Donald Mlnto, treas- urer. The year also brought us three changes in advisers, lr. Cox being re- placed by Hr. Suter, the first semester, and by Mr. Spacie the second. Our major activity during the year was managing the cafeteria during the Antioch Country Fair. It was a great deal of work, as those who did the kitchen police duty will long remember, but it was well worth the ef- fort and the entire class cooperated to make the venture a success. Twelve boys and girls of the class, gay in Japanese robes and flowers, served at the Junior Prom, and did much to give the affair a captivating o- riental atmosphere. The last event of the year was another gastronomic, success, a picnic held at Paddook's Lake, Wisconsin, where everyone gorged themselves on hot dogs and sandwiches, and drank amazing quantities of pop. Bob Madsen and Otto Hanke fell in the lake and then managed to oapsize the boatload of boys that came to their rescue. Nc one seemed able to prove that the boat- load had been dunked purposely, and by the time that was argued out their pants were dry so it didn't matter anyway, Our Junior play was 'Reach for the Koon,' a comedy in a western dude ranch setting, so close to the mountains that you could walk to them be- fore breakfast 'and get back in time for oawfee and waaflss' as Pete Zeien so frequently and drawlingly announced. The play was hard work and seemed to have all the bad luck in the world during rehearsals but it played very smoothly to full houses both nights so everybody finished happy. The income from the play, augmented by the profit from candy sales throughout the year was used to change the auditorium into a Spanish patio with iron-railed balconies, roses a-blooming all round, and a softly col- ored fountain singing to itself in the moonlight. Potluck suppers and three hour work sessions after school made the roses bloom and steady work by the boys made the twisted iron railings, the whispering fountain, and the softly lighted nooks amongst the roses. 18 Na
