The junior class of 1938-1939 began a busy year with an enrollment of about 250 students guided by their advisors: Mr. Walter Engebretson, Mr. William Rosel, Miss Ann Laipple, and Miss Evelyn Olson. The following officers were elected after several re-votes and immediately took up the work of their various offices: Richard Halvorson, president, Doreen Mageli, secretary; Arlene Pearson, vice president, Edith Carlson, treasurer. As a means of raising money the juniors took charge of the candy selling at the basketball games. Pictured above is a group of the girls who proved them- selves to be very expert saleswomen. As another source of income, the class took it upon themselves to sell maga- zines. Later in the year a ‘‘Vodvil’’ was presented, in which many talented jun- iors participated. All this helped to swell the treasury of the class. On April 29, the juniors entertained the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Promenade. The motif was Spanish and was carried out in this theme. At the beginning of the evening, a lunch was served, after which the couples danced until midnight. The last social event of the year was the annual junior class picnic. With a class of merrymakers such as the juniors are no one was able to say that he did not fully enjoy himself. “ Not too many words can be S id about this junior class which next year will:be the seniors of the school. It was not only, outstanding because of the achievements as a class, but further glorified by the achievements of the members in outside activities. A few of the outstanding members are mentioned below. The juniors were most outstanding in athletics. Several of them placed on the A squads in both football and basketbail. Byron Veillette, Carl Englert, and Gus Novotney were three boys on the first string football squad. On the A team in basketball were Carl Englert and Gus Novotney. Carl was chosen as a guard on the all-Tourney Squad. In the operetta, ‘‘The Mikado,’’ which was presented this spring by the choir, the junior class was represented by Gerry Erickson and Clark Crust, who had the leads. Besides these two, there were many juniors in the chorus. The juniors practically made up the dramatic division of Brainerd. At the speech festival held at St. Cloud, Leno Friday and Vivian Aggen took part. Making the trip to the Staples speech festival were Edith Carlson, Mable Pi- card, Cornelia Nelson, Leno Friday, Charlotte Spencer, and Mary Hennessey. This same group were representatives of Brainerd in the speech contest held at West High in Minneapolis. The One-Act Play presented by Brainerd included two juniors. They were Edith Carlson and Donna Denis. Scholastic achievements of the year go to Yvonne Ranstedt. She has consist- ently had the highest average in the class. This class may well be proud of the record they have achieved in their sec- ond year of senior high school. If they continue to do as well as they have in the past two years they will be the outstanding graduating class of the Washington High School. 23
