ED HILBY VIVIAN STEPHENSON 23 • JOYCE WHITE SOPHOMORE CLASS • The first class to attend both years of its course in the new junior college building was the class of 1939. When they first occupied the ne w school, the lawn consisted of wild mustard, the track and back lawns were non-existent, and teams had to alternate their practice with the girls’ physical education classes. Now lawns extend from one end of the campus to the other, the track is completed, and the second gym will be fin¬ ished this summer. Many are the activities and achievement of the pioneer class. The Pajamarino and the annual Field Day were inaugurated and quickly became traditions, and sopho¬ mores had the greatest number of school offices. Dick MacFarlane was chairman of the Election Committee, Vivian Stephenson was head of the Social Activities Committee, and Ruth Connell was Student Body Secretary for the past year. Other well-known sopho¬ mores holding key positions were Dick Carlisle, president of Alpha Gamma Sigma; Joe Garcia, president of the Block S Society; Sid Carter and Hank Eaton, football and basketball captains, respectively. Luther Ogawa, dynamic president of the Men’s Club, was more than responsible for the huge success of the ’39 Field Day and Men’s Club Supper. Dick Hambey broke his own record of selling 150 tickets for “H. M. S. Pinafore” in his freshman year by selling 151 for ‘‘Seven Sisters” last April, starring in both while making the records. Officers for the sophomore class were Ed Hilby, president; Joyce White, secretary; Vivian Stephenson, vice-president, and Ray Kirby, treasurer.
