s JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1938 entered I ludson High School in the fall of 1934 with an enrollment of seventy-two. Roy Colver was our first president; Miss Hughes, our adviser. As freshmen we were not only represented in all activities, hut our “Hoboes” won first place in the 1934 Homecoming parade. As our first finan- cial endeavor we successfully operated a hot dog stand at the Homecoming Carnival. In 1935 we elected jack Leykom as president for our sophomore year. We again won honors due to the fact that we purchased the largest percentage of budget tickets, in addition to the largest number of True Rlues. As junior president we elected Raymond Engstrom. Under his lead- ership it was our privilege to sponsor the first class party. We held it on Fri- day, November the thirteenth, yet we beat the old superstition since the party was a huge success and the forerunner of similar parties. Black cats and ladders were appropriately chosen as decorations. The juniors started early to plan for their prom. An old-fashioned garden with morning glories, hollyhocks, rose trellises, and a picket gate were decided upon as the decorative theme, so the background would be in keeping with the girls’ lovely dresses. As this goes to press it is also possible that the orchestra will be seated in a grape arbor, although it is not definite. The general committee for decorations consisted of Margaret Clair, chairman, David Lyksett, Edith Ahlgren, Marjorie Suennen, and Robert An- derson. The finance committee was composed of Helen Engebretson, chairman. Chester Quale, Lorene Wilcox, and Warren Bush. Raymond Livermore, Paul Jones, and Dolores Anderson composed the orchestra committe. Up until this year we have had the largest class in school, but due to the fact that several students have moved away or dropped out of school our enrollment has dwindled to sixty-four. We have always been well represented in various activities. This year thirtv eight per cent of our class was represented in musical activities, while sixty-four per cent of the boys were in athletics. Alton “Steve” Steven- son was elected captain of next year’s basketball team. Art Riedel played an outstanding game of basketball at center. We also were well represented in forensics. Both Edith Ahlgren and Helen Engebretson represented us at the state debate tournament. Much credit must he given Miss Hughes, who has been our adviser ever since we came into high school. 22

Lucille Beers Act III—The Baxter Home Act IV Scene 1—The Parcher Garden Scene 2—The Parcher Garden Time: The Present Silly Bill fell in love with Lolo, the Baby-Talk Lady, a vapid if amiable little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and incidentally of her) he stole his father’s evening clothes. When his wooings became a nuisance to the neigh- borhood, his mother stole the clothes back, and had them altered to fit the middle- aged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. But when it came to the Baby-Talk Lady’s good-bye dance, not to be present was unen- durable. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how as he was wear- ing it at the party the Negro servant, Genesis, disclosed the fact that the proud garment was in reality his father’s are some of the elements in this charming comedy of youth. Director: Mr. Harold Weatherhead 21
