Cur Class History Mm If you can remember as far back as 1930 when we, seniors now, verdant frosh then, entered the big Institution of Ripon High School, with Miss Bengtson as our worthy commander, who so willingly helped us to begin our successful high school career, you will remember that then, as usual, all freshmen were green, but we were an exception to the rule because we were not as green as we looked. We, the high and mighty seniors of 1934, all agree that our freshman year contained the happiest days of our whole high school life.

OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR In the fall of 1931 we came back as Sophomores and certainly were proud of it. Nothing pleased us as much as a chance to initiate the Frosh. Our advisor, Miss Bengtson, left school, and so we drew the worthy Mr. Milam as our advisor. With his help we gave our class party, which was a great success. 1 First Semester Second Semester Genevieve Pratt. ........... ........ . President ..... ...........,...

OUR JUNIOR YEAR At last we became upper classmen and real leaders of the school. With Mr. Milam at the stern we overcame all difficulties. Our Junior-Senior Sport Dance, held at Hotel Wolfe in Stockton on May 5, was the talk of the school. Our Junior Play, Suicide Specialist, given in March, was a great success. We not only took honors in athletics, but in scholarship as well. VVe ended the Junior year with a picnic at Twain Harte. First Semester Second Semester Ched Kolak ........... ...., .

Although we weren't so many in number as when we entered as freshmen, we certainly let the other classes know we were there. Our senior play, Be An Optimist , was said to be one of the best plays ever presented. After much heated discussion our Senior Ditch Day was held in March at San Francisco. It turned out to be one of the best times we have ever had. The Juniors honored us with a sport dance on May 18. Baccalaureate services were held at the Swedish Mission Church, and then came Graduation on May 31. First Semester Second Semester Howard Stuart. ....... ......... P 1'CSiClC11f--.- .... .........
