- ixty-eight capable, but modest, freshmen entered the portals of Vernonia High School in the fall of 1935. They courageously bore the many insults heaped upon them by the over-generous sophomores during initiation and made a good showing during the year. The following year the same group returned, beginning activities as sophomores with a very effective initiation of the incoming rooks. As the year progressed, the class became prominent in school life. It sponsored several candy sales and a class party was given at the gym in the spring. Fifty juniors returned in 1937. Under the able leadership of Elvere Thompson as president, the class enjoyed a successful and profitable year. The first function of the season was a candy sale given in October. Following this, the class held a party in the gymnasium. The class proved their abilities when, on February 4, they presented their class play, Polishing Papa . This rollicking comedy, directed by Miss Wilkinson, the class adviser, met with singular success and added $76.81 to the class treasury. Junior Prom, on the night of April 29, was the high light of the year's social program. The gymnasium was artistically decorated to give the atmosphere of Hawaii. Beautiful decorations and soft lights created a lovely scene that will long be remembered.
