J UNIORS Presidrlzzf, Lloyd Fisher Vice President, Wayne Gibson Secretary, Geraldine Bohn Treanlrer, Olive Nau Our upper classmen tried to scare us off the high school grounds by their bluffing initiation, but we offered them a surprise by showing them they needn't attempt it-even though we did look rather green and frightened to them. As soon as we got started we elected Lucille Fisher, President, George Monday, Vice President, Lloyd Fisher, Secretary, Ray Bare flater replaced by Ruth Mergenthalerj, Treasurer, and Miss Roller, Sponsor. Just to prove we weren't frightened away most of us enrolled in 193 4. Our class officers were: Ruth Bowman, President, Wayne Gibson, Vice President, Roller Fox, Secretary, Laura Ebersole, Treasurer, and our old friend, Miss Roller, Sponser. We soon gave the newly arriving Freshmen a dose of what we received the year before and we also failed to bluff them out. Then we quite inexperienced, dramatically presented our play, Where's Grand- ma?,' November 23. 3 We took the opportunity of having the two parties allowed us. One was held at Lucille Fisher's, the other at Luella Evenbeck's. The greater part of our number reappeared in 1935 to receive permanent seats in the study hall. Miss Roller being gone, the empty- handed Mr. Wiseley became our sponsor. He directed our class play, He Was a Gay Senorita, which was presented December 18. Our class is well represented ini both boys' and girls' glee clubs and basketball as well as in football and in several clubs.

THE FORECLOSU RE SALE The under classmen of the Arcadia High School have fore-closed on the Senior Class and forced them to sell out. Here is an account of the sale. The Senior class, as a whole, sold its great responsibility and excellentl example for good behavior in the school and elsewhere to the Junior class, although the Sophomores wanted it very badly. The next articles to be sold were of a personal nature. First was Helen Moser's typing ability. There were several bidding on this but Olive Nau, Lowell Moore and Harold Greer were the chief bidders. Finally everyone dropped out, including Olive and Lowell, and Harold got the extra typing ability. Carl Conine's great athletic ability is next, called out the auctioneer. You may be sure that there were several bidding on this. Among them were Roller Fox, Clayton Conine and George LaFontaine. The bids kept going higher and higher until Roller and Clayton decided that George would have this asset at all costs. He should be sure to use his new ability for the next three years. Tom Stacy and Milo Guisinger were the main bidders for the next article for sale. It was Willard Graber's height. Milo finally bought it, but the doors may have to be made larger. Emerson Huntley sold his ability to look innocent when he is guilty. Nearly everyone was bidding on this but Bernard Riter won the race. He shouldn't try to perfect this because someone else will get blamed all the time and that isn't fair. Everyone was bidding on the next article for sale but as the price became higher and higher only three remained--Paul Groth, Doris Peters and Mack Parker. Mack Parker bought Fred Gassman's ability to bluff his way through classes although he had to pay a high price for it. He won't need his glasses to study so much now. Alice Wilcox sold her independent ways. Mary Jane McCracken was the highest bidder and therefore she received the asset. Dorothy Wedge sold her numerous boy friends to the highest bidder. Nina Binger was bidding against Opal Moore but since Nina has enough already, she let Opal have them. Now I really have a wonderful value, called out the auctioneer. What do I hear for these black, snappy eyes of Wilma Snyder? Luella Evenbeck and Mary Louise Thomas were the main bidders but Luella won and acquired this asset. Maryette Parker sold her noise. Camilla Reinhart and Geraldine Bohn were the leading bidders for Maryette's cheer-leading ability. Geraldine evidently decided that she didn't need the extra noise and quit bidding so Camilla got the wonderful bargain. Eleanor Schubert, after much persuasion, sold her giggle. After much yelling and bidding Margaret Fenstermaker bought this distinguishing trait. Even the teachers bought at the sale. Mr. Runyan and Mr. Wiseley were the lead- ing bidders for Ruth Saltzman's habit of chewing gum. Mr. Runyan was the one who bought it because he has more trouble with pupils chewing gum in his classes. Bernard Dwenger and John Newman were the last ones bidding for Donald Flemion's quiet ways. John Newman finally bought them and he should use them to the satisfaction of everyone. The next article for sale was Elizabeth Pessell's ability to use high-faluting and impressive words. Opal Moore, Harold Greer and Ralph Sherman were the leading bidders for this very fine value. Ralph Sherman was the lucky fellow who got this great bargain. It is an easy way to further your education, Ralph. Next to be auctioned off was the southern accent belonging to Lucille Rose. There were several bidding on it but Lillian Lewis got the famous southern drawl.,' fContinued on Page 411

SOPHOMO RES Prr'xide11f, Mack Parker Vice Presicfenf, Charles Graumlich Secrefary, Eugene Harmon Treaxrzrcr, Ethel Fisher Our freshman class government, like most newly organized govern- ment, went through a period of disorder and chaos. The first thing that was done to overcome this fault was an organization. A meeting was held and a democratic form of government set up. A constitution was framed and the new government was then ready to proceed. Officers for the year were as follows: President, Tom Stacy, Vice President, Charles Graumlich, Secretary, Paul Walters, Treasurer, Mary Bisel. With a trip to Washington as our goal we set out to supply the treasury with money. The means of securing this was by a box social. At the complete failure of this program we turned to Mr. Kieffer who proceeded to show us the way to successful government. We then chose our class emblems which are: flower, lily-of-the- valley, mascot, porcupine, colors, brown and silver, motto, The timber lies before us, let us build. After the student council was organized we were represented by President, Tom Stacy, Mary Louise Thomas, and Paul Walters. .-, Through the year we held several parties, one at Mary Bisel,s, an- other at Tom Stacy's, and still another at Edna Stacy's. This time, after taking a whole year to get on our feet we began with a good start. The social season opened a week after school started by the initia- tion of the freshmen and a party at Irene Thomas,s home. A meeting was then called at which we chose the following Student Council representatives: Alice Huffman, Charles Graumlich, and Mack Parker. During the year we held a bake sale at Findlay, and gave our play, The Girl in the Fur Coatf' After starting with little we have arrived in good standing as a class in Arcadia High and are looking forward with renewed hopes to our Junior year and the Washington trip as Seniors.
