A V, A . .i . -. Junior Class History K i September 5, 1941 was a great day for about 80 pupils. They were Freshmen! High and mighty in their own imaginations but merely dirt beneahi thexfeet of the upper classmen. ' One class started off under the leadership of Mr. Wallace as Sponsor and Gilbert Noriega, president. In another, Mr. Eichman was sponsor and Earl Pot- tinger carried on the official duties. In still a third, lally Smith as sponsor and Anita Ziegler, president. Gilbert Noriega and George King both earned their Track letters their first year out. This same year WAR was de- clared and many of the boys left to join the armed forces, Gilbert Soto being the first to enlist. Despite the war most of the pupils were able to drag themselves out of the mud and up to the higher ranks. In the Sophomore year, Aldo Nuti presided over the cunbined Mr. Smith's and Mr. Wallace's class with Mr. Wallace acting as sponsor. In the other class, Mr. Eichman had resigned and Mrs. Smith had taken over his duties with George King as president. Football letters were made by 'Buddy' Chatham, Gilbert Noriega, Earl Pottinger, and Ed Stoller. Basketball letters were earned by Al Cota, Bob Ramirez, Ed Stoller and Gilbert Noriega. During the year the Sopho- mores held two very successful dances which enabled them to hold several parties and to buy flowers for different occasions. lhe year was climaxed by the only track meet held. It was a Sophomore-Freshman track meet with the Sophomores scoring an overwhelming victory. Mr. Wallace resigned at the end of the year and Mr. Englemann took over. . The first thing the Juniors did this year was to elect two of the four stu- dent body officers from the Junior Class. Joe Tena was elected Secretary and Earl Pottinger was elected Treasurer. Ed Stoller was chosen to lead the new combined Junior class as President. The Junior girls have made a good name for themselves in holding up die G. A. A. and the Booster club. Maria Soto and E ma Valencia figure prom- inently in these organizations while Dora Soto shows up the whole school in her work with the Junior Red Cross. Jme Junior Promenade was held in the Montezuma Ballroom with Ernie Lewis' lhot orchestra giving out with the solid Jive. It was the most lavish Prom ever to be held by a Nogales High School class. At this Prom, Seniors King Rudy and Queen Phyllis were crowned. Princes Pottinger and Stoller from the Junior class were also crowned. In the basketball season we had Al Cota, Ramirez and Stoller sparking the team to many brilliant victories. f Gerald Underwood took the leading role in the play, 'Growing Pains. Six other Junior boys put on the one act play, 'Suhnerged.n Underwood also won the annual oritorical contest over stiff competition. He also shone brightly at the conference meet at Douglas. I e Juniors truimphed over a Senior team in a hotly contested basketball game. Junior officers of different clubs this year include Gerald Underwood, cc- editor of the Adcbeg George King, President of the 'N' Clubg Hector Puchi, President of the 'P and S Clubug Edward Marston, President of the Radio Clubg and Emma Valencia, President of the Boosters. Now that we have attained our rightful position under the sun we can look back at the green Freshmen and Sophomores and wonder if we were ever that dumb. 1 can--us-an FIN -23-
