SOON TO BE SUNG This year we entered school with perhaps a little sad spot in our hearts because our high school days were half over. The elections proved that Raymond DeGroote was president againg Flora Shoji, vice presiclentg Mildred Pedersen, secretaryg and john Beck. treasurer. We presented a successful play, Miss Informationf' which was a mixture of comedy .ind mystery. Then our thoughts turned to the planning of the junior-senior banquet at which we entertained the seniors in May. It was an enjoyable party. Both boys and girls have been doing well in sports, and our class has been well repre- sented in operettas, the Bandjoree, and the Extravaganza. We are proud of the class of '42 and all of its accomplishments. We expect to accomplish as much or even more in our senior year. lufr lo right: I, Helm, rally coiuminve: S.

NEW SONG IS 'Twas a warm sunny day in September of the year, 1938, that sixty-three high hatted freshmen entered the Caruthers Union High School, but, alas, we soon found ourselves extremely stupid. The sophomores used the brightest red to shame us as they painted us from head to foot. They, however, entertained us on the following Wednes- dayg and, much to our delight, we won the tug-0,-war. All was well again. We organized by electing the following class officers: john Beck, president, Flora Shoji, vice president, Mildred Pedersen, secretary, and Henry Mayeda, treasurer. The next September we claimed to be in a slightly higher position for we were sophomores and not scrubs. We, of course, during the first week, gave the freshmen a party at which we were embarrassed for they gave us a ducking in the tug-o'-war. We again elected class officers making Raymond DeGroote president, john Beck vice president, Emma Jean Brown secretary, and Mildred Pedersen treasurer. Left to right: M. Pedersen, secretary: R.

We, seventy-five confused freshmen, entered the Caruthers Union Opera House for the first time on September 18, 1939. At once, the sophomores did the usual thing with lipstick, and the grand mass of color surely struck a discordant note. To our delight and glory, we were the victors in the annual tug-0'-war with the sophomores. With the help of Mrs. Osterhoudt and Mr. Butzbach, our advisers, we elected the following officers: Guy Taylor, president, Whitney Gallaher, vice president, and later president when Guy Taylor had to move to another school district, Viola Gaines, secre- tary, and Clemmie Jean Walton, treasurer. As freshmen We put up a good fight in sports with Leland Gilstrap, Bob McTeer. Ralph Mower, Robert Brewer, and Homer Haggard playing on the championship C basketball team of 1940. THIS SONG IS JUST 18
