JUNIORS In the fall of 1932, fifty-eight frightened little Freshies registered at A. C. H. S. The officers elected to lead the Freshies on their path to success were: President, Arthur Pautsch; Vice President, Harold Hawkins; Secretary, Harriett Culver; Treasurer, Robert Council; Student Council Member, Betty Brittin; Reporter, Roy Landreth. At the beginning of the following year, the class, now labeled “Silly Sophs”, returned to A. C. H. S. to resume their studies. The officers elected were: President, George Richter; Vice President, Roy Landreth; Secretary, Helen Wilcoxon; Treasurer, Delbert Primm; Student Council Member, Waldo Joachim; Reporter, Leila May Johnson. In the past year the class has achieved further honors under the guidance of these officers: President, George Richter; Vice President, Harriett Culver; Secretary, Delbert Primm; Treasurer, J. Edwin Spragg; Student Council Member, Leila May Johnson; Reporters. Naomi Trainor and Audryn Cline. In all three years, members of the class have distinguished themselves in literary events, glee clubs, band and orchestra, and athletics. At the close of the Junior year, the class is still pushing forward with 35 members, but, in spite of the small number of crusaders, it is hoped that the fourth and last year of the class of 1936 will be a bigger and better year of achievement and success.
