mm2eazw To begin a most successful year, the junior Class of 1945 and 1946, after considering carefully, chose the class officers for the year. The offices were capably filled by john Geffe, president, Lyle Noble, vice-president, Ray Cummings, secretary, Fred Miller, treasurer, and Paul Schilperoort, social chairman. Paul was an inspiration to the rest of the class. In his position he had charge of the assembly of March 15 and the Prom of May 3. The guidance committee, composed of Beverly Baker, Rilla Quantrille, Valeta Geffe, Bob Brown and Gordon Stover, planned the meetings of the class. Beverly Baker, chairman of the committee, ar- ranged the plans of the new Hello Day which was sponsored by the Junior Class. During Hello Day everyone wore a tag bearing his name. Veleta Geffe, along with her guidance work, planned the monthly programs of the Girls' Club. Rilla Quantrille did double duty, too. She held the position of the advertising manager of the A. S. B. ' Rae Dean Graham, another enthusiastic member of the class was the vice president of G. A. C. She helped to make the G. A. C. playday a success. The All-Hi play, What a Life, included two people from the junior Class. They were: Darlene Trudeau, as the secretary, and Tim Thompson as Henry Aldrich. Darlene also budgets the books as treasurer of the A. S. B. She spends a great deal of her time on this job and is very capably attending to it. Among the outstanding athletes of the year were john Geffe, football and basketball, and Lyle Noble in football. Acting as basketball manager was our own Colin Fitzsimonds. Promoting pep and cheering the teams were our two keen yell leaders, Tim Thompson, Yell King, and Patty Yearout. The outstanding event of the year was the Prom in the junior high gymnasium. Veleta Geffe was crowned queen at intermission by john Geffe. The princess Darlene Trudeau, Marie Martin, Mable Smithwick, and Delores Haussler presided at the gala event. A very enjoyable evening was spent in Hawaii dancing to the music of the Williams band. Mrs. Wise was our capable adviser and counsellor. It is the sincere wish of this writer and the departing senior class of 1946 that you will enjoy your last year as much as we did.

, 004026 jumping out of the green horn classification, the potential class of '48 turned out with much activity all through the year: With a year of learning the ropes behind them, the sophomores have begun to assume an active part in school affairs. Most of them have managed to acquire the extra height that distinguishes them from their persecuted companions, the freshmen. In all contests held between classes the sophomores were right in there pitching. In the March of Dimes contest we collected more than all the other classes combined. In the sale of tickets for the school play the sophomores won again. This was because of the salesmanship of Lois Day who sold more tickets than anyone else. In the safety contest Ruth Shockley, jackie King, and Phyllis Snow won more honors for the class. Ruth Shockley also turned in many new yells and songs for the yell contest, which were used. ' In all sports the sophomores made themselves noticeable. In football Esau Moss and joe Hecker were exceptionally good players and both won letters. Another sophomore that brought us honor by earning a letter in football was Norman Aller. In basketball Bill Green was chosen to play on the squad. He worked himself up to the first five and at the end of the season was named on the All-Northern team. The basketball B squad was composed entirely of sophomores. Baseball, track and tennis saw many sophomore students among their players. The feminine part of the class took their share of sports in G. A. C. A large percentage of the Girls' Athletic Club was comprised of sophomores. Half of the G. A. C. officers were sophomore girls, which goes to show that the class was well represented. The debate team was composed mostly of members of this class. Three sophomores journeyed to Tacoma for debates and won several honors. The debate teams also held debates with several neighbor- ing towns. The sophomore debates were Gene Lloyd, Don O'Kelley, Donna Riddle, and Opal Whitaker. The guidance committee supplied the class with interesting guidance meetings. Talks on different vocations were given and a skit was given on the right and wrong way to apply for a job. A round table discussion on attitudes of the high school students was also given. The two most important activities of the class for the year were the sophomore assembly and party. The assembly was given in February. It was based on excerpts of different radio programs. The party was held in April and was a great success. There was dancing in one half of the gym and games in the other half. Miss Fuchs and Miss Hill have advised us through an interesting and enjoyable year. The entire sophomore class is looking forward to next year and is eager to partake in all the next year's activities. There isn't a crystal ball handy, but, nevertheless, it seems safe to predict that this group, rarin' to go as it is, will certainly be heard of a great deal in the future. - SOPHOMORE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Front row: Miss Betty Fuchs, adviserg Betty Lou Kure, Norma Schmidt, Donna Mae Graham, Lennie Doak.
