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
