In fact, it just wouldn't be school without Iuniors. The Iunior Class, always peppy and ambitious, has been well represented in all school activities this year and has done its share in bringing more honors to Blair Higlfs ample store. When calls were made for volunteers in the different activities of school life, the Iunior Class responded eagerly and was able to boast of representatives in every one of the various activities. The Iunior boys proved mainstays in all forms of athletics. Woodrow Svengaard, Howard Erickson, VValtei' Golle- hon, Rolland Bucklin, Roy Christensen, Clarence Van de Venter, Fredrick Nemetz, and Alvin Brumbaugh lettered in football. In basketball, Walter Twenty-Four

Rudy Valee has been out of the picture since 1940, and his place is filled by a new vagabound lover, Clarence Sappenfield. Sappenfield now comes on board. Frances O'Hanlon is perhaps the most interesting character on board. Be- cause of her extensive reading, she has created an Inter-National Story Hour Association. She and her aides, Luella Simpson and Iris Rodel, travel from country to country drawing crowds of little children to hear their wonderful tales. Lucille Feer and Delores Derieg are well-known advancers of Mountain Education. They have taught in the Ozarks for twenty years. Stanley Iensen is the National Executive of Boys' Clubs in America. Be- fore acquiring this position, he played on Nebraska's football team making All-American. Myrle French plays the ,cello in the Roxy Symphony Orchestra and Helen Walrath plays 'fiddle' in the same group. Dottee Gylbertson is Zeigfield II's pride and joy. The follies are now not only presented in Broadway, but also in the Arctic Regions. Senator Frances Harrison has served in the Senate for a period of eighteen years and is on the Democratic ticket for Vice-President in the election of IQ56. Iean Stewart is her private secretary. Madam Dorothy Tyson is considered the greatest teacher of aesthetic dancing in the world. She has her school located in Nova Scotia. Lo and behold! who is it that has entered from the Bel Aire No. I? All of these famous personages are none other than those who made up the class who were graduated from Blair High in 1931. But who are these two elegant ladies who appear on the deck so aristocratically gowned? They are the hostesses on the O Fice and are recognized as Florence Dixon and Myrtle Gilbertson. Chef Willie Wilson now serves dinner to the class. Lieut. Flack is overjoyed at meeting all this class but he is quite concerned over the fact that the Bel Aire No. I has been gone so long. The reason is quite plain, says President Peterson, Capp fell in love with a beautiful young Eskimese maiden and we were obliged to await his pleasure to return.

Gollehon, Walden George and Rolland Bucklin lettered. Many members of the class took active parts in various musical organizations including band, orchestra, glee club, and the operetta in which several took leads. Irene De Vinney, Reed O'Hanlon and Roy Christensen showed real ability on the debate team. Several Iuniors were outstanding in declamatory Work. Margaret Maher and Gladys Hanson took honors in the Home Declamatory Contest by winning second and third places respectively. In a Home Commercial contest, Elizabeth Grimm, Helen McMillan and Miriam Iensen were chosen to participate in the District Commercial Contest. On Ianuary 29, the Iunior Class presented the class play Skidding', which proved a wonderful success and a high spot in the history of the class of 1932. It also provided food for the Seniors at a certain social function in the spring. The climax of a successful year was the Iunior-Senior banquet Which was held at the close of the school year. With this, our Iunior year closes. It has been a pleasant, busy one. We feel we have done our best, Working in co-operation with each other and, we hope, bringing honor to our school. As Iuniors we will say no more, but wait patiently until 1952 makes us 'gmighty Seniors. Twenty-Five
