Seib. The class officers elected for the year of ' 39 were Lawrence Dahl and Gladys Makovsky as president and secretary-treasurer respectively. Also, in this election, they chose Dorothy Ragsdale as editor- in-chief ,and Robert Sievers as business manager of the J ' alcuiaii of 1940. With a membership of 130, the students have proved competent to carry on for the outgoing seniors. Many have been outstanding in extra-curricular and curricular activities as well. A few may be mentioned as to prominence. Gerald- ine Bryant held those honor points at fifteen while Beatrice Mann was also high scoring in the scholastic field; in music Robert Gratton and Gladys Makosvky were noteworthy; ath- letics offered Harvey Varner, Charles Clifford, and Lawrence Dahl; and James Smith was active in the Hi-Y. 27
