Senior History EPTEMBER 8, l93l :-History repeats itself as another class of sophomores climb, for the first time, the front steps of Auburn High School. Typical of the preceeding classes, these yearlings spent the first week wandering the halls, and, to make it brief, finding them- selves. Upperclassmen, especially seniors, regarded these sophs curiously. Perhaps they saw potential athletes in the persons of Paul Knowles, Robert johnson, Emerald DeSpain and others. Fulfilling expectations, the sophomore class was well represented in all sports. At the class meeting on September 16, the class officers were elected. Rachel Highes was elected president, Paul Knowles, vice president, Sadie Sutherland, treasurer and Helen Besancon, secretary. Mr. Knudson was chosen faculty adviser. The Sophomore Assembly happened on March 9 and favorably withstood the censorship of the upperclassmen. lt has been said the juniors do not count, for they can neither be ridiculed as sophomores nor respected as seniors. Nevertheless, the junior year proved very important to the Class of '34, for it was during this year that ability broke the bonds of timidity and came to the front. Leadership, always of major importance, was first to be decided. jim Eagon was elected president, Emerald DeSpain vice president, Roy Calkins treasurer and Doris Ellingsworth, secre- tary. Miss Buhl was chosen class adviser. The first class presentation was the The Arrival of Kitty, a three-act play starring Eunice Beierlein, Helen Swearengin and Stanley Brown. In all respects the play was a success. lt was directed by Miss Signe johnson. Transforming the gym into a beautiful japanese garden, the class sponsored the junior Prom, featuring good music, a good crowd and a good time. Once again the final exams trailed on the heels of Spring fever and another year ended. A mixture of experience, ambition and ability usually yields success. Determined to prove this statement, the class, now composed of full-fledged seniors, started its last lap. jim Eagon was elected studentbody president, Eugene Okins vice president and Doris Goodson secretary. Helen Besancon, being a senior, automatically became studentbody as well as senior class, yell leader. Emeral DeSpain moved up to fill the office of class president, ably assisted by vice president Sadie Sutherland and secretary-treasurer Betty Campbell. Miss Rude was the faculty adviser. Lewis Armstrong was master of ceremonies at the Senior Assembly of December 20. Presenting the idea of an evening in Hollywood, each one taking part represented some screen star. On February 8 the class presented a light comedy entitled Adam and Eva. Major roles were held by Helen Swearengin, Lewis Armstrong, and Frances Felkel, Donald McCath, Charles jones, Calvin Estrem, Evelyn Erickson, Arnold Colby and jayne Miller. Miss Schuhard directed. Being scheduled for May 4, the Senior Ball was carried out in the idea of Spring, the atmosphere being created by a Maypole and many beautiful flowers. Rachel Hughes was chosen by the class to be the May queen. twenty-tix
