The honors for the year went to Bob Kerstetter, president, Beulah Packard, vice- president, Helen Tracy, secretaryg Josephine Charlet, treasurer, Zela Faye Gillespie, song queen, and Verne Neitert, yell king. These officers carried the class through a successful year in which an all-school assembly was presented. This assembly, consisting of two short plays and other skits, gave the Freshmen their initial perform- ance before the student body. The year was climaxed with a picnic at Borst Park. Much credit is due Miss Wing, adviser, for the successful year. As not-so-green Sophomores, the officers of the class consisted of Josephine Charlet, president, Dorothy Seymour, vice-president, Helen Tracy, secretary, Cleo Koontz, treasurer, Olive Staples, song queen, and Ernest Copley, yell king.

The Junior Prom, the first to be held in the high school, was one of the biggest social successes of the year. The decorating scheme used was a marine motif, depicting a ship. Two things which helped to carry out the scene were the gang plank placed at the entrance and the pro- grams which were printed as ship tickets. Much credit for the success of this affair is due Donna- Conrad, general chairman. The year ended with a picnic at Deep Lake. Page lfourtccn J 7-142 GIG
