Schuh, Remark, Clark, Larimore. Upon entering high school, not being familiar with high school routine, we were vigorously “ha-ha’d” for several weeks until we became accustomed to the procedure. We elected Herb Schuh, president; Bill Hendrix, vice-president; Barbara Camp, secretary, and Bob Scott, member of athletic board of control. In ’38, we entered our Sophomore year with much more confidence. The officers elected were: Earl Poundstone, president; Fred Evans, vice-president; Paul Morgan, secretary, and Wilmer Foran, athletic board of control member. Resolving to accomplish something better, we entered school as .juniors in ’39. As officers, the class elected Mildred Marker, president; Earl Poundstone, vice-president; Evelyn Lamkin, secretary, and Bob Scott, athletic board of control member. The Junior Class was proud to have many participants in football, basketball, and band. Our class presented the Junior Class play, “Sunbonnet Jane of Sycamore Lane,” on November 14. We worked very hard preparing it and were awarded for our efforts by having a record crowd. The juniors, at the request of the seniors, attended the ghost-haunted cornfield arranged in the gym on Halloween. Later in the year, the juniors were hosts and hostesses at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The scheme displayed the romanticism of the regular Hawaiian beach. Page Twelve
