Sixty students and their friends went to this party and a gala time was greatly enjoyed by all. Three days before Halloween we held a party at the home of Joanne Geer. At this party the girls taught thc boys to dance. As the evening drew to a close refreshments of cider and dough' nuts were served.

FIRST CLASS PASSENGERS In the year '38 a group of one time Eighth graders took up the important role of Freshmen. We had the largest class in the school, number' ing 77, at the beginning of the term, but our class dwindled to 38 by the m'ddle of '39, Perhaps the initiation had something to do with it. Of course we had to have a lot of parties and weiner roasts to make a good impression on our higher' ups. Mr. Tucker, our class advisor, helped us to become accustomed to being upper classmen. Naturally, we had to have more class officers that year than we had in the seventh and eighth grades. They were: Kate Morehouse, president, Margaret Watson, treasurer, Jacque McCalla, secretary. Then in '39 We were promoted to the Sopho' more class. By this time the Juniors and Seniors realized our importance and we began to feel more at home. Our class activities cons'sted mostly of parties and weiner roasts, but we had one- or two skating parties. Our very capable advisor was Mr. Blinn who helped us solve many difficult problems. Our class officers for that year were: Don Hubbell, president, Bernice Alla' mong, vice president, Neal Silliman, treasurer, Doyle Tucker, secretary. This year Q1940j our class finds it is faced with more responsib lities than in previous years. There is the JuniorfSenior Banquet, wh'ch has caused us a lot of worry, for we want to give the seniors a grand time and we are undecided what they would enjoy most. Then there was the junior Class play which caused a lot of work on the part of several of our junior classmen. Mr. Blinn, who directed our play, did his best to make it a b g success, and you can be sure it was. It seems we haven't very much time for parties and the like, but we must have a little diversion from our labor, and there's nothing like a class getftofgether for iust that. Then there was that allfimportant issue of deciding on our school rings. What anxiety we suffered those weeks we were wa'ting for them. Many times this year, we needed the advice of our ad' visor, Miss Hanson, to help us solve our prob' lems. Our class officers this year are: junor Reynolds, president, Nina Knight, vice presif dent, Kathryn Morehouse, secretary, and Doyle Tucker, treasurer. Page 11
