As we, the Junior Class of ' 39, review the past year, it seems incredible that such an eventful year could pass with such rapidity. It also seems in- credible that we, one hundred forty in all, shall soon be the great Senior Class of 1940. However, all incredulousness shall be dropped for the present so that we can relate the experiences and events of the past year. Of course, the election of class officers heads the list of our activity and social calendar. After a few short campaigns of various people in the latter part of September, 1938, the presidency went to Robert Rosso. Paul Clasper was elected vice-president; Kathryn Kenaga, secretary; and Keith Hunt, treasurer. Upon the election of the other officers, President Bob Rosso took the meeting over. He and his fellow officers then chose Naomi Parks, Barbara Bebout, Joe Lee, and Stuart Wattles to serve on the general committee for the year. A class sponsor was chosen next, and so — Shall we say? — A million thanks to Miss Helen Araynas for making the Junior Class of ' 39 a success! Next on our calendar, we see the All-Junior Party, an out-door party, held at Michigan State Park in October. It wasn ' t until the third of January that we gave an All-High Dance and much to our grief — Shall we confess it? — it was our one failure. However, we retaliated with a bridge benefit in March which was a great success. In the latter part of March, the Juniors had much ado about everything. Perhaps the proudest moment of the entire year was to receive our class rings. Then on the evening of April 14, 1939, we gave our last social event. The annual J-Hop, given in honor of the Seniors, was the greatest success of the year. Thus ends the log of the Junior Class of ' 39. However next fall we shall all meet again — But — as members of the Senior Class of ' 40! HAIL YE LOYAL SOPHOMORES Top Row (left to right)— J. Theriault. B. Henry, M. LeFave, A. Chatfield, G.

Without a doubt, dear old Rochester High School has made a good, beneficial investment in the larg- est class in school — The Sophomores. We ' re not only the largest class, but we ' re the most important to the school because we have been gathered from all the community schools, like a guiding hand, and assembled here together. Most of us came through Junior High School shouldering responsibilities, appreciating the finer education and, equally important, developing some of the finest personalities R. H. S. ever sheltered under her wing. Our popularity contest proves this. The Athletics has felt more push from the Sophomore class of 1938-39 than any other previous classes, and at last are starting to soar to a new high — Our capable coaches will verify this state- ment and are happy to receive so much new ma- terial. Our class hasn ' t had many parties and other social gatherings outside of school, but have won a blue ribbon inside the school. We had a hayride planned that would have been cance ' led by most Sophies, because of a rain storm, but it didn ' t stop our Sophomore class — We all went to it, contributed financially, and with spirits high sang in the rain. I know what most of you Falcon readers are th ' nking. You believe that all we ' re doing is Just slapping ourselves on the back and that we ' re a conceited group — but on the contrary, we ' re just happy to have given R. H. S. a good name and we have one united goal, To go on in a fellowship fash ' on and produce the best future classes and finest citizens. Class officers were as follows: President, Tom Myers; Vice-President, Bob Sut- ton; Secretary, Dorothy Burr; and Treasurer, Lucille Pirie. Mr. Tarrant was our class sponsor.

CLASS PROPHECY June 15, 1954 Dear Mr. Kelly: Congratulations! A mutual friend of ours tells me that you are the proud papa of your fifth son. I understand that instead of passing out cigars this time, you took up a collection. For shame, and you in the high position of County School Commissioner. I thought perhaps you ' d like to hear of an odd experience I had the other morning. On my way to the studio, to broadcast my daily getting-up exer- cises, I kept noticing the driver of the bus, which I took, because he looked so familiar. Imagine my delight in finding that it was one of my old class- mates, Richard Hunter. We started talking over old times and we soon had most of the graduating class of ' 39 located. Right here in New York, there is a fine represen- tation of Rochester. Ray Zellers followed up a lifelong ambition, and is now a dance director in a famous Broadway theater. His d ance routines are copied by all choruses. Robert Wuschack (pro- nounced Robear Wushae ) is making American women beautiful by placing a wave here, and a curl there. He is really very good at it. Jennie Merlo is a hostess in New York ' s swankiest nightclub, The Silver Slipper. In this same place, can you guess who the bouncer is? Bill Neumann! Greta Gowan is employed by the New York Star, writing Advice to the Lovelorn. Fred Houghten is a well-known District Attorney. In fact, he is the one who placed Fingers Grabbum behind the bars. Alis Howell is now tapping her way to fame on the legitimate stage. I hear she has a different stage- door Johnnie for every night. Ellen Jones is the better half of the famous dancing team, Voland and Volez. I hear that many folks wouldn ' t forsake Rochester. Among these is Berniece Harris who conducted her college education, and is now teaching biology at Rochester High School. Hazel Hummel is the local cooking demonstrator for the Edison Company. Kenny Hunt is the friend- ly clerk we meet behind the counter in the lingerie department at Shueller ' s. Bill Hubbard, I under- stand, is the bank president of the Rochester Nation- al Bank. Marijane Dear is the one demonstrating the rowing machine at Axford ' s Sport Shop. Betty Palmer is the owner of that pleasant voice that says, Number please each time you use the telephone. Catherine Paquette is the sob-sister reporter for the Clarion. Can ' t you guess what Tom Fraser did? He settled down and got married. Marian Allen fol- lowed an unusual line — that of deep-sea diving. She looks for lost treasures in sunken sh ' ps. Ardis Hunt took Frances Perkins ' place as Secretary of Labor. Ruth LeBlond is conducting a nature study class to make people more awa ' e of the beauties of nature. Carl Ogilvie is the capta ' n of the S. S. United States. June Ingraham is the mother of a world wide famous child prodigy, and has ' ong since divorced h ?r husband as an unnecessary liability. The class is also well represented in the field of radio and stage. Eileen Gray is the blues singer with Swingum Hutch ' s Band. Bill Barnes is Uncle Bill, who tells bedtime stories over WWJ. Maxine Carroll is a Metropolitan Op ra singe . Nancy Davis ' southern accent was so pronounced, that she is Scarlet O ' Hara in the long waited for, Gone With the Wind. Andrew Douglas and Uldene F slier are the Singing Sweethearts of the air. They are sponsored by the Goody-Goody Puff Flakes. Stanley McHaney is the crooner that makes you think ol golden rich butter melting on h t wheat cakes. Alice Nivison won a jitterbug contest a d is now taking life easy in Hollywood. Carol Noble became a well-known soprano, and started an amateur pro- gram based on her fame. Jervis Wattles is the dashing movie actor that makes feminine hea ' ts flutter. He got his experience in the Senior Play. George Wells is a second Charlie Chap ' in — big shoes, mustache, and all. Evelyn Woodie is com- monly known as Evelyn, and her Magic Violin, featured in Phil Spitalny ' s All Girl Orchestra. Bill Long has established himself as the champion corn husker of Kansas. Ula Winters has taken the public platform on Anti-Babytalk. Wilma Wales is married and happily living on a chicken farm raising a brood. Connie Tiedeman is the dashing little blond usherette in the Avon Theatre. (Shh! Don ' t tell anyone she used to be a brunette.) Margaret Southern is a pianist in Leopold Stokow- ski, Jr. ' s Philharmonic Orchestra. Bob Shueller is the well known basketball coach at Notre Dame, on which no designing female has been able to tag her card of ownership. John Gilmore has a unique business all his own. Each year he lends his rosy cheeks to Holland, Michigan, to lend atmosphere during the Tulip Festival. He gets $200 daily for just walking up and down the streets. Wayne Holman is the snobbish butler who buttles for Mortimer H. Snodgrass, the millionaire. Mr. Kelly, some of the class have changed so much you ' d never guess they were the same students who used to shudder at your outbursts. Such as: Florabelle Hodge who stuck up for the women ' s privilege and is now driving an ice-truck. Arlene Harris, after her fourth divorce, lost faith in the opposite sex, and is now raising rattlesnakes as a hobby. She says they are easier to take care of than a husband. Dan Guthrie is a train caller in Grand Central Station. John Angus is a sword swallower with Barnum and Bailey. He says you have to watch your step because it is a cutthroat business. Anna Brown is married and raising adorable little carbon copies of herself. Enid Darling had a wide range of selections for a pro- fession and she chose that of dentistry. She tells me that she can read a person ' s true character by their teeth. Wonder if she can tell whether they are going to pay their bill? Doris Elmendorf is a missionary to the deep dark Africa. Nancy Fetter- ly is an International blueberry pie-eating champion. Vivian Fater has gone native in Honolulu, and hangs leis around the necks of all the visitors. She has even gone native so far as to don grass skirts — my, my! Paul Giddings invented an automatic gum scraper for theater seats, and is living a life of luxury. Carole Goldsworthy is a retired nurse — one of those lucky ones who married a handsome young doctor. Fred Halbach is a professor at Marygrove Women ' s College. He is known to have a quieting effect on the girls. Bob Hibbert is a daredevil test pilot at Selfridge Field. Ruby Jacobs is a leading verterinary. She loved horses so much, and this was the only way she could stay around them. If you encounter Norene Gray sitting on a park bench, mumbling to herself, think no wrong of her, for she is a soul rending poet. Bob Johns is a teacher of elocution. He couldn ' t bear the murderous use of English which seemed to be coming into effect. Fred Riley ' s pictures for the Rochester High Fal- con won so much acclaim that he is now a leading photographer. No socialite would think of going any place else to have her picture taken. June Anderson is the matron of a cat and dog-hospital, run by her veterinarian husband. Eva Atkinson won the sweepstakes three years ago, and is building a stately mansion overlooking the beautiful Clinton River. Gerald Clark runs a dydee cleaning estab- lishment, and is patronized by all young matrons of Rochester. George Dunlop is a magician who has a police record because he made several people dis- appear and wasn ' t able to bring them back. Miriam Fitzthomas is now in the jungle looking for her long lost husband. Hazel Knickerbocker writes the pretty verses for all of your greeting cards. Jack
