Juniors JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The time had come for all good classmates to come to the aid of their country; so, on September 7, 1937, we, last year's solemn-visaged Sophomores, rested our weary bones once more upon those hard board seats and turned our somewhat rusty brains to readin', writin', and 'rithmetic. On the first semester with Frances Champagne as president, Burton Stover as vice president, La Verne Tobias as secretary, Clifford Machacek as treasurer, and Mrs. Bender as adviser, everything was smooth sailin' on the Good Ship '39.'' We felt like full-fledged and very successful upperclassmen at last, when our play caTed New Fires, met with such high approval. Our prom, given in honor of the Seniors, was given in a very different and enjoyable way. This was a very successful undertaking. —Colleen Ratliff President..............Norma Fabian Vice President.................Burton Stover Secretary.............Charles Mierau Treasurer.....................Colleen Ratliff

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Launching themselves cautiously, in the ship Wise Fool, the Sophomores set out in September on the sea of school life. With Mrs. Crittenden acting as their able admiral and Nathan Patland as their captain, they found both fair weather and smooth sailing to be theirs. On November 17, 1938, a dinner party was held, the success of which was even greater than they had anticipated. To add distinction to their craft, class pins were purchased; they are the pride and glory of every Sophomore. On the second leg of the journey, Captain Richard Pennell took the helm. Under him plans are being made for the ordering of class rings, an event customarily belonging to the Junior year. On the list of events to occur before summer vacation summons them to lay at anchor a while, are a skating party and a class picnic. With these pleasant harbors in view, the Sophomores sail smoothly on. —Margaret Krug President...... Vice President. Secretary...... Treasurer...... Reporter.......
