Some of the new freshmen seemed dazed, some seemed scared, some seemed happy, non-e of them knew what it was really all about. But it dldn't take them long to learn, no sir, not the members of this great class. The class soon held its election of oflicers with the results as follows: Howard Thiessen, president, Willard Knoespel, vice president, and Dorothy Kanter, secretanyf- treasurer, Initiation came and went with none of the class members showing any ill tftects from it. The regular affairs of the school year, such as Hallowe'en and the like, came and went as well, and, as expect-ed, the class came through with flying colors. 'Ihe next school year, 1935-36, came with its usual happiness and sadnessg mostly happiness on the parts of this year's sophomores. Class oflicers again were elected, this time Elroy Buboltz occupied the dignified position of president, Harold Nass, vice presidentg and Bernice Greve, secretary- treasurer. Th-e initiation was conducted in a highly organized manner. The class had a tins percentage of its number interested in extra-curricular activities, as it had the previous year. The class played its part as well in the events of the school year, although it probably could have fared better in the Halloween affair. Well, it seems the time just flew, and so this class again assembled in August, 1936, for the beginning of another school year, The class has its usual representation in forensics, basketball, and the like. Perhaps the most distinguished service that this class of '38 had thus far rendered the school and the community as well, has been in the form of a newspaper, The Brillionettef' published monthlly by the class. It is not the first attempt of a Class at publishing a. paper, but it is the first successful attempt. And so, as time passes on, the class hopes to continue its good work in behalf of the school, the community, and for the good of the class members, themselves, not only in school but in the world at large after the members of this class of '38 graduate.
