President—Harold Lind Vice President—VIax Swaim Secretary—Wilma Shumaker Treasurer—Charles I.odwick At last! We are on the home stretch nearing our goal. But, as this, the first lap nears its finish—we realize that after a short breathing spell, the race will continue into our diverging destinies of the future. In school acti- vities our class has been well represented in every field. Some of our members have been outstanding in the vari- ous fields of endeavor. Our boys have had a share in bringing the state football championship to Ottumwa. Three of our members have won recognition in state-wide competition. Ludora Lindman won a superior rating in the contralto solo division at Iowa City last spring and qualifies for the national contest. Ruth Smith is the Iowa Women's Golf Champion. Jack Barber placed in the State Young Republican's Oratorical Contest. We would not forget that our attainments have been under the guid- ance of our adviser, Vliss Marie Schick. To her we can only say a heartfelt thank-you’ in appreciation of her fine work. 'Pep and loyalty we combine We're the class of'39.'' I Pack 23

{ZJfl£L Pojl utar 'i For the most {popular senior girl the student body elected Roberta Hilliard. Bobby as she is commonly known, came to our school from Fairfield, but she soon made her place here. She ac- quired the position of Humor Editor on the News, which she managed quite suc- cessfully. She became a member of Shark Club and took part in pageants sponsored by the Club. Bobby made friends easily. She well deserves the honor bestowed upon her. Norma Rhoads Eudora Lindman Marguerite Johnston Bette Ellen Jones ROBERTA HILLIARD A secret desire of every student is to be liked by his fellow students. With some this is a natural gift, but with others it is an achievement. By the time stu- dents are seniors, there are those in the class who because of their services and personalities have become popular with a large part of the student body. The selection of the two outstanding indivi- duals in the Senior Class is a matter of interest to every student, and recogniz- ing that fact, the Argus Annual sponsors each year the Senior Popularity Contest. Members of the Annual Staff super- vise the election in each advisory group, the entire student body serving as the electorate. The results of the contest are not revealed until the Argus is pre- sented—thus augmenting interest in both the Annual and in the contest. Page 2-1
