During this successful year, the sophomores held a class party in October, and proved their loyalty to the student body by selling and buying the most athletic tickets of any class that year. Then as juniors, the class became really prominent. The class officers were: president, Andy Killian; vice- president, Frances Childs (later president); secretary, H eidi Reich; treasurer, Joanne Nichols. At the carnival held in the fall, the juniors won the prize for having the most popular concession, and later were second in the Memolog sales contest. On December 9, 1938, the class successfully presented their junior play, Everybody s CrazyJJ a three-act comedy, directed by Miss Cook, class adviser. Their greatest achievement of that year, the prom, was given April 28 in honor of the senior class. The attractive decorations represented a grape arbor, and the appropriate theme song was Deep Purple. The last day of school that year was joyfully celebrated with a picnic at which good food, and especially ice cream, was plentiful.
