SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HEN the class of ’31 entered high school as freshmen we were a bit quaky. We had the idea that we could not come up to the standards set by the other classes. That was just a freshman’s inferiority complex. In about two weeks the freshmen began to show signs of having a bunch of students that was to be envied. In class “C” foothall the freshmen helped to make a successful team. The frosh on the team were: Bob Shank, David Prentis, Lawrence Kendrick, Herbert Smith, Kenneth Overholt, and George Fink. Monte Nutter and George Fink were prominent in basketball. Virginia Lloyd made the school hockey team. Vivian Peeler and Merle Fisk won their class numerals in their first year of debating. The track honors for interscholastic competition went to the freshmen girls. As sophomores we kept on making a place for ourselves and setting new standards for the sophomore classes that would follow in our steps. Foothall season found Wilson Briggs and Herbert Smith on the school heavy- weight team. Our boys constituted the major part of the Lightweight team. We, as sophomores, showed our originality in putting on our rally stunt. Orville Veach, Lawrence Kendrick and Herbert Smith made the school tennis team. We put on a play for Lemonville entitled, “A Case of Suspension.” Those taking parts were Jeannette Toolen, Betty Webster, Virginia Roberts, Mildred Brockman, Kenneth Overholt, Robert Shank, Monte Nutter, Allan Haines, Carol Cunningham and Dale McCue. Evalyn Roberds placed second in Forensic that year. Carol Cunningham and Wilson Briggs had minor leads in the operetta, “The Belle of Barcelona.” There were many sophomores in the chorus. During the third year at high school we tripled our activities and we had many members of our class participating in both scholastic and athletic work. The junior girls’ basketball team won the interclass championship and tied with the frosh for the champion team in hockey. Junior boys couldn t resist the football season. Wilson Briggs, Herbert Smith, Bob Simpson, Weldon McPherson and Wilford Guffey were among the Heavyweights who played. Monte Nutter and Bob Shank honored the junior class hy earning the privilege of participating in the Southern California track meet. Jeannette Toolen, Carol Cunningham and Wilson Briggs had leads in the operetta, “The Lady of the Terrace.” Seniors! at last! Three years of climbing and at the end we became a de- pendable group of seniors. We chose Los Angeles County Playgrounds as our destination on ditch day. The class play was “The Patsy,” with Harriette Hall taking the title role, supported by Jeannette, Carol, Albert, Helen, Allan Monte Earl and Louis. The girls won the interclass tennis championship. Our debate team came out with high honors in the interclass debates. The Co u n t and the Co-ed,” the operetta for 1931, had a majority of seniors taking major leads. They were Winifred Sutter, Patricia Creech, Evalyn Roberds Wilson Briggs, Mary Sullivant, Madeline Clark, Vivian Peeler, Irma Lytle and Eloise Gist as accompanist.
