JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY—Continued The summer, as usual, flitted by in no time, and the class assembled as the fifth grade. Miss Atherly took them over at first, and later gave Mrs. Wilson the task of teaching them. The newcomer this year was Marie Johnson. In the sixth grade. Miss Overall and Miss Hampton welcomed Mildred Lun-deen. Gerald Myers, and Orvil Wilson. John Strickland went away to see if other schools were better than this one. The high school building, which the class had admired from afar, now belonged partly to it. This year also marked the entrance of Wesley Dickinson, Frances Longan, Harry Maloney, and Leota Westphal. John Strickland decided that Arvada was best after all. and came back here to complete his education. Miss Phares and Mrs. Guard were the sponsors. The last year of junior high arrived, bringing with it Raymond Wilson. Frances Copeland, who had begun with the class of '21-’22, now leaped over the seventh grade and landed in the eighth with the rest. Miss Layer and Miss Townley made life pleasant. At the beginning of the ninth grade, great numbers migrated to our school, these being named Caroline Calkins. Harold Craft, John Dunn. Leonard Feland. Dorothy Johnson, Frank Jump. Thelma Miner. Annie Retallack. Jane Rossman. Louis Smith, Florence Thode, Robert Wenger. Elizabeth West, James Wilson. Lynn Wilson, and Henry Otsuki. The large class was split into three sections, Miss Townley, Miss Hambly. and Mr. McComb each taking a part. Latin. Spanish, and geometry worried the sophomores considerably, but they clambered over these obstacles at last. Thorald August, Joe Burn. Elmer Goode, Ralph Johnson. Mae Norbcrg. Charles Norberg. Lillian Phillips, and Alice Marie Slattery were made to feel at home by three sponsors. Miss Reed. Miss Hambly. and Mrs. Haughey. The junior year is now here: the last to join the class are Lee Gregory. Ethel Nosier, Robert Pugh. Edith Vetting. Babetta Wuetig. and Robert Ruff. The junior play was a great success. Our ship and sailors added to the harvest festival parade. We are looking forward to our junior prom. We are particularly proud of winning the inter-class track meet, rolling up the score on the seniors. Thorald and Orvil particularly helped us do this. We are now looking forward to our senior year with all its joys and responsibilities. and feel sure that we will carry on as successfully as in the past. Here s to the class of '31, and may it ever live up to the traditions of dear old A. H. S. 1 25 |

OFFICERS Tiiorald August John Strickland Annie Retallack Marik Johnson Presidrn t Vice-President Secretary Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Long, long ago, a child with rather fanciful ideas suggested that all the children of the neighborhood go to school to see what it was like. So accordingly, all celebrated by washing their faces, and thus began their school life. Mildred Widergren smiled shyly at all. Minnie Morletty. more bold, winked at the boy seated across from her. Miss Lawrence rapped for attention. Aliene Hutchinson and Emma West simply stared, wide-eyed, at new objects. The second year found the beginners no longer children, but growing quite worldly wise. Mrs. Chinn taught them their two-times-two. which made them feel superior to the first-graders, who could only say “A B C.” Billy Shackley and William Covi had walked in to keep them company. In the third grade, those already present were joined by a group of the class of ’20-’21 who had the luck to jump over the second grade. These were Helen Frear, Gertrude Goodlett, Ann Hennessy, Melvin Stephens, John Strickland. Marvin Widergren, Glen Graves, and Helen Cole. Again the children gathered at the school house, and this year were allowed to climb the flight of stairs to attend classes. Miss Brown and Miss Trezise led the children through long division, and enjoyed the company of two new boys, Edward McCune and Orville Weaver. 1 24 |
