 1 J until! 'Twas in the memorable year of 1938 that 67 gallant youths, with heads jauntily thrown back and knees not quite so jauntily shaking, entered V. H. S. to go down in its halls of fame as the most remarkable class in its history. Not realizing the historical possibilities of this newly arrived class, the sophomores dubbed them rooks , just as preceding freshmen for generations had been called. Not content with merely giving them this degrading title, the sophomores planned an initiation that would test their staying power. This trial passed and now full-fledged freshmen, they looked back on this initiation and decided that some other class would have to suffer as they had. With Fred Thompson as president and Miss Miller as adviser, the class proved its outstanding ability by leading the honor roll, winning the softball tournament, and having a very successful concession at the carnival. Sixty-seven eager sophomores returned the next fall to begin another successful year. Midd Crawford was elected president and Mr. MacDonald, class adviser. Because of their treatment the year before, these new sophomores felt it was their painful duty to impress upon the minds of the incoming rooks the hardships of becoming full-fledged freshmen. To the chagrin of all the other classes, the class of '42 again led the honor roll and won the soft-ball tournament. Football, basketball, and track also had many of this up-and-coming class as its members. Juniors—at last they had attained the rank of upperclassmen for Y hich they had worked so diligently for two long years. Under the leadership of Virgie Killian as president and Mr. MacDonald, again adviser, the class moved into another triumphant year. One successful venture followed another. As in the preceding years, the class of '42 was outstanding in athletics. For its fine work in helping win the county football championship, nine of its most cherished members were aYvarded let-ers. The annual class play, Seven Sisters , a hilarious three-act comedy with a Hungarian flavor, was a tremendous success. The junior prom followed. To portray the theme, The Wise Old Owl , accurately, the gym was converted into a virtual forest. Even the punch bowl was a hollow tree. The name of the orchestra was kept a secret until the night of the prom itself. It was then learned that it was Eddie Burke's orchestra. Out of the 67 struggling freshmen v ho entered Vernonia High School in 1938, but 42 noble youths returned to bring to a finish the dramatic chapter in the history of V.H.S. With an eye to the responsibilities of the coming year, the class elected Jack Olin as president.
