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

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The high school career of the Class of ’39 began in September, 1935, with an enrollment of seventy. We chose Paul Thompson as our first class president. In September the seniors entertained us at the Freshmen-Senior Party, and we were formally initiated by the usual custom of the Senior Class. During our Freshman year we concentrated mainly on studying and in adapting ourselves to our new surroundings. However, Joseph Young and John 1 farlander each earned a regular’s berth on the “B” basketball squad. When selections for the district debate team were made the Freshmen offer- ed the services of Merle Michaelson which were readily accepted. Esther Sol- lieim received first place in the local humorous declamatory contest and also performed creditably in the district contest. In our Sophomore year our number was reduced to fifty-seven. We chose Merle Michaelson as our president. On the football team we were rep- resented bv George Spencer, John l larlander, and Sam Richie. George Spencer was the only one of this group to he rewarded with a letter. When the basket- ball season arrived the Sophomores again offered some excellent material in the form of “Bo” Young and John llarlander, both advancing from the “B” team. The Sophomores placed two of their representatives, Bob Forsythe and Holly Merrell, on the district deflate team. We held more positions on the debate team than any other class except the seniors. We have several representatives in both band and orchestra. Paul Thompson has established his reputation as a musician, winning third place with his cornet solo at the River Falls Music Contest last year. This year he has been made a member of the school’s brass trio and has gained membership in the Ili-Y quartet. Mary Jane Peterson has developed into a fine soprano and was awarded the scholarship offered by Mr. Price. This year the Sophomores were allowed to sponsor their own class party. It was held on February thirteenth in the form of a Valentine’s Day i ’artv. By this time the result of the Sophomore’s concentrated study has come to light. For the first semester of the Sophomore year, over forty per cent of the ‘X” honor roll was composed of Sophomores and approximately forty per cent of the Sophomore class was included on either the “G” or the “X” hon- or roll. Holly Merrell and Lyle Baer have gained recognition for maintaining a straight “X” average for a semester. Much of the credit for our progress must be given to Miss Selle, our class adviser. Her advice and leadership have solved many problems for us. 24
