Bromley Meeker Turner Havard Jackson Adviser: Frank Beer Junior Class History The green freshmen of the fall of 1932 became the school's dignified juniors with the opening of school this year. The first official business resulted in the election of Billy Bromley, president; Bob Jackson, vice-president; Jeannette Turner, secretary; Clarence Havard, treasurer; and Earl Meeker, Student Body representative. Frank Beer was again chosen class adviser. The initiation of the freshmen was the first project carried out. As a result of the junior “make-up artists” many queer species were seen in the halls. The class play, “Easy Money,” was next; then a Washington day play was presented before the student body. The name of it was “A Stitch in Time.” It told how a small girl sent an im- portant war message by sewing it on the back of a sampler. The sampler was then taken to officers by unsuspecting British officials. Those taking part were Marjorie Flint, Willeta Sweeten, Dclma Jean Jones, Bob Jackson, Frank Pearson, and Edwin Gibson. Mr. Beer directed the play. The Junior-Senior barbecue was given on April 20 at Jackson Hot Springs. The juniors were active in student body affairs. In the Toka-Scroll drive they were a close second to the seniors. Attractive rings and pins of modern design were bought by many class members for a class emblem. By-stander: “So the collision damaged your car?” Jimmie Rowe: “Did it! Say, it flattened out two of the best dents I had! Margaret: It is just midnight; the moment miracles happen. Don: “I think— Margaret: “There! Didn’t I tell you?” Mrs. L.: “What typing system do you use?” Billy L.: (Pounding away furiously) “The Columbus method.” Mrs. L.: “Columbus method?” Billy L.: “Yes, I discover a key and then land »» on it. Chemistry teacher: “What can you tell me about nitrates? Student: Well-er-they are a lot cheaper than day rates. Lawyer: Did you ever meet a fellow down there with one leg named Sanders?” Witness: What was the name of the other leg? Caller: “I’ll call again tomorrow, and hope you’ll have some money to pay this bill.” Customer: Please do. It’s a real pleasure to meet an optimist like you.” First actor: “ I he last time I played in this part, the people could be heard applauding 10 blocks away.” Second actor: Is that so? What was going on there?” PAGE 18

Sophomore Class History The entrance of I 32 students into the G.P.H.S. on September 10. 1933, marked the beginning of the class of “37.” After being duly initiated, they settled down to the serious business of making a name for themselves. At their first class meeting Buster Carter was chosen president; Larry Adams, vice-president; Virginia King, secretary; Waldo Gray, treasurer; and Glenn Mitchell. Student Council representative. Agatha Harding and T. H. Coke were chosen as advisers. Later Miss Harding resigned because of Toka work and Sarah Parr was elected to fill her place. The boys did their traditional duty of building the bonfire for Rally Night. At mid-term their number was increased by the entrance of the sub-frosh from junior high. Later on they entertained the sophomores at the annual Frosh-Soph party. By the end of the school year the freshmen were well on the road to success. When school opened last fall, about 140 students were back to carry on the name of the class of “37.” They were lordly sophomores now, and my, how green the freshies were.” This year Melvin King was elected president; Waldo Gray, vice-president: Norma Johnston, secretary; Don Dillingham, treasurer; and Arthur Winelrout, Student Council representative. Mr. Coke was again chosen adviser. They gave the usual Sophomore-Freshman party and presented the Thanksgiving play. It was entitled “Mistletoe Berries.” The cast included: Zoe Carpenter, Donna Dahl, Gayle Denison, Kathryn Anderson. Edward Cotter, Herbert Flower, Don Dillingham, and Raymond Sophy. This year as last the sophomores have taken an active part in all activities and sports and are making history for themselves. Bob Helms: “Say, conductor, can’t you run any faster than this?” Conductor: “Yes, I can, but I have to stay in the car.” Mr. Coke: “Why does Missouri stand at the head of mule-raising in the United States?” Don Peterson: “Because the other end is dangerous.” Modern girl’s philosophy: Nobody loves a flat man. Mrs. Marcy: “Correct this sentence: Before any damage could be done the fire was put out by the volunteer fire brigade.” Norman F.: “The fire was put out before any damage could be done by the volunteer fire brigade.” She: (at the Hi-G dance) You started on the wrong foot that time.” Leo Weber: “Which should I start on, your right or your left?”
