President sae see John Harman Vice-President Josephine Sears Secretary- .-....- Imogene Keene Because they were much too busy learning about high school as freshmen, the members of the June Class of 39 met on October 5, 1937 to choose these sophomore leaders: John Harman, president; Gerald Rans, vice-president; Josephine Sears, secretary; Donald Langle, treasurer; and Rae Weaver, social chairman. Miss Winternitz was chosen as the class sponsor to guide the activities of the class until gradu- ation. The student officers remained in charge for the entire sophomore year. Our first class party was held in the cafeteria on November 17, 1937. On April 16, 1938, we invaded the Pennant office to put out our Sophomore edition. During the week of April 23, a candy sale in the halls added quite a bit to the class treasury. Class members stuffed hay- seeds in their ears and pulled on their high top boots ma the “Hill Billy” party which was held on May 7th. Back again, tanned and healthy from summer vaca- tion, we met in the fall of °38 to elect as class officers: John Harman, president; Josephine Sears, vice-presi- dent; Ann Finnell, secretary; Donald Langle, treas- urer; and Rae Weaver, social chairman. At this time John Harman, Jean MacDonald, Jim Simons, Ann Finnell, and Betty Custer were named for the Ring and Pin Committee. Not long after this we sold candy at the Elkhart-Riley football game, to earn money for the treasury. Treasurer=-—=—- --— Donald Langle (Center) Miss Louise Winternitz, sponsor of the June Class.

All the paupers in our class attended the “Paupers party in the cafeteria February 19, 1938. The Junior Day came on March 11th. On that day we published the Pennant and almost burnt the house down when we gave the play, New Fires. The much-looked-for- ward-to Junior-Senior Prom was held May 28, 1938, at the South Shore Inn, Lake Wawasee. A “Colon- ial” theme was carried out in the decorations, names of dances, and even in the menu. Karl Weick’s or- chestra furnished the music. John Harman was again elected president in the fall of “38. The other officers were: Josephine Sears, vice-president; Ray Winer, secretary; Donald Langle, treasurer; Rae Shake and Glenn Mast, social chairmen. The Annual staff was chosen early in Sep- tember.
