JUNIOR CUSS HISTORY To many people, 1938 meant little but to sixty-seven students it meant entering V, H. S. as Rooks . After a gruelling initiation, they were recognized by upper-classmen as full-fledged freshmen. Throughout the year these enterprising freshmen led the school on the honor roll. Class officers were elected early in the year—Fred Thompson was the president and Miss Miller, class adviser. During the year, the class sponsored a Fun House as their carnival concession which proved to be most successful. A class party was also held in the spring and a picnic on the last day of school was given to welcome the incoming freshmen. The following year brought sixty-seven eager sophomores back to school, ready to begin their second important year in V. H. S. Midd Crawford was elected president and Mr. MacDonald, class adviser. Ry really getting into the swing of high school life and school spirit and keeping true to tradition, an effective initiation was given for the freshmen,impressing upon their minds that they were becoming members of V. H. S. After fulfilling their duty, these students resumed their places of activity, working hard to achieve the greater aims which lay before them. As in their freshman year, the sophomores again led the honor roll and tied for first place in the semester honor roll. The class was always well-represented in football, basketball, and track. They were also the winners of interclass baseball in the spring of 1940. The class picnic at Big Eddy brought the year to a close. Again returning to V. H. S. in the fall of 1940, sixty-two juniors showed increasing dignity, now being known as upper-classmen. As in the two previous years, they immediately began to demonstrate their outstanding abilities and superior intelligence. The members elected as class officers for this year were: president, Virgie Killian; vice-president, Robert Roeser; secretary, Kathleen Lolley; treasurer, Dorothy Millis; and as adviser for the second time, Mr. MacDonald. During this successful year, the juniors showed themselves to be invaluable in athletics to V. H. S. At the close of the football season, nine members received

letters for the efforts they had put forth towards making the team county champion. The junior class was privileged to have two of its members on the county all-star team. Likewise taking an active part in basketball and track, six boys in each were justly awarded letters. In addition, it might be mentioned that the student body yell leader was a member of the junior class. This class showed itself to be active in all other organizations, too, such as the Pep Club, The Timberline, and music. Having already proved their scholastic ability by leading all of the honor rolls in the two previous years, they continued during this third year by leading most of them. An important venture of the year was the presentation of Seven Sisters , the class play which was highly entertaining. This unusual play, a hilarious three-act Hungarian farce, was definitely successful financially, clearing over 066. Under the direction of Miss Wilkinson, the juniors showed their unusual dramatic ability. The last triumph of the year of 1940-41 was that big event which took place on the night of April 25—the annual Junior Prom. Always being original in ideas, a unique presentation was given in honor of the graduating seniors of '41. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated to represent a forest scene, skillfully carrying out the theme, The Wise Old Owl . Clever little owls appeared on the invitations. This class of 42 is looking forward to its last year in V. H. S., hoping that greater heights may be attained and that their efforts may not be in vain but that they may help to make Vernonia High School a better place.
