.[ V E R H I A N ].....- Junior Glass JJtstorp j g'T the opening of the school term 1923-24, nine students enrolled as Juniors. They were Lola Cline, Emerald John, Lillian Condit, Ruth Peterson, Edith Wilson, Ray Mills, Elbert Kelly, Henry Kauppi and Robert Hoffman. Only four of this group had started in as Freshmen together. About the middle of the first semester the students of the Junior class decided that they hadn’t done anything yet to make a name for themselves, so on a warm sunny day they, one hundred per cent in attendance, took “French leave” at noon and went on a hike. They each gave some money with which wieners, marshmallows, and matches were bought. They hiked about two miles, ate the wieners and marshmallows and returned to town. The next morning Mr. Nash awarded each member of the class with a doughnut, before the other members of the student body. After that the Junior class was known as the Doughnut Class. The second semester brought a new thrill. Three more students joined the so-called Doughnut class. They were Doris Akerstadt, Henry Leavitt, and Clarence Dunlap. The basketball season was on. Lillian, Lola, Edith, Doris, Ray, Elbert, and Henry Kauppi took active parts on the teams. Robert became noted as yell leader and the other members of the class took the duties of chief cooks and bottle washers for the refreshments served after the games. Debate season was also on. Ray and Robert made up half the team of Vernonia High School which was the first of the school to get to debate twice. The next great event was the Junior Prom. This was the first of its kind ever given and was a big success. The Junior-Senior banquet given in honor of the parting Seniors, at the close of the year was another success. Speeches were made by members of the Faculty and Senior class. When the term ended, the Juniors thought that this had been the most interesting of all their years in high school and were determined to make their Senior a better one in 1924-25.
