cJunior Glass GHtistoru • The class of '39 has been outstanding throughout its high school years, with Rolph Fuhrman as its very popular president for the entire time. The juniors have been very fortunate in having Mrs. Beyers as their adviser. Their social life began with a very interesting and enjoyable initiation into the mysteries of freshman life at a party given by the sophomores, and ended with the Junior-Senior Banquet on May thirteenth of this year. The juniors have enjoyed taking an active part in the social life of the school. During their freshman year, their class party was the outstanding social event. The thrill of that year was the winning of second prize for school floats in the annual Corn Show parade. The sophomore year found the class party again the social high light, while in the line of service, the class provided the decorations for the baccalaureate address. The junior year just past has proved to be an exceptionally busy one. Three juniors, Videlle Kelley, Jack Martin, and Leonard Farr, were on the debate squad which again won the Coos County championship for 1938. Geraldine Holcomb and Phillip Stem had the leading roles in the junior play, It Happened in Hollywood, which was staged in the Community Building, November 19, 1937. The entire cast gave a very creditable performance, and several members showed considerable talent. ficers was shown in all the work necessary to produce Snow White, the seven dwarfs, and the dozens of small animals used in the decorations arid in making all the other preparations attendant upon such a social event. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held ROLPH FUHRMAN, President on Friday, May 13, a very unlucky calendar date but a lucky date for juniors and seniors. At this banquet the senior class president, Orville Clinton, presented the myrtlewood cane to the junior president, Rolph Fuhrman. This myrtlewood cane presenta- tion is by now a tradition since it was first presented by the graduating class of 1914, tied with their class colors of blue and gold. It is now decorated with the colors of many senior classes of earlier years. This ends the junior activities. May their year of '39 be as full and successful and continue to add to the glory of the class and the school. 1 i i In the high school band there are six juniors: Videlle Kelley, saxophone; Peggy Wernich and Kennett Lawrence, clarinets; Leonard Farr, trumpet; Donna Dean Bosserman and Jane Kramer, drums. Yvonne Kern has served as understudy for the bass drum. The glee club work was well supported by this class. Ann Hawkins served as president, and Yvonne Kern as librarian for the girls' glee club, and twelve junior girls held membership in that organization. Four junior boys held membership in the boys' glee for the entire year. The Junior Prom was held April 22 in the high school auditorium. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs formed a very attractive theme for this important formal dance. The unusual degree to which the members of this class have always cooperated with their of- An electrician returned home from work one night to find his small son waiting for him with his right hand swathed in bandage.
