S. determined to live up to their chosen motto, “Labor Conquers All Things . Their officers, Richard Kenyon, Billy Mason, and Eleanor Stone displayed capable leadership in many respects and the record of the class showed success in several fields. During their Sophomore year the class achieved still greater honors under the guidance of their new officers Marjorie Van Wormer, Josephine Barnes, Billy Mason and Richard Kenyon. At the beginning of their third year the class elected the following officers: President. Morris Hall; Vice-President, Hazel Cantrall; Secretary, Marion McKean; Treasurer, Eugenia Baugher. Although only three years of their stay at A. C. H. S. have been completed the group on the whole has held a very prominent position in both scholastic and extra-curricular activities. To the Junior class goes the credit of having been responsible for one of the biggest successes of the year “The Red-Headed Stepchild”. But the Juniors are bound for still better times. The best and last year is yet ahead. Who knows what may result?
