Sophomore Class “Yes, Sylvia, the class of ’37 was I a great class ’ ‘‘What are some of the things which made your class a success. Mother? We want to have an up and coming class, too.” “For one thing, we started out well in our freshman year. Wc elected Georgia Carroll, president; Eugene Cook, vice-president; Hom¬ er Randolph, secretary; Phyllis Burroughs, treasurer; and Dick Calvin, Student Council representa¬ tive. We had very efficient officers in our sophomore year, also, George Vinnedge, president; Elizabeth Ret tig, vice-president; Jack Turner, secretary; Dick Calvin, treasurer; and Mary Harper, Student Council representative.” “We chose our officers last week. We don’t know whether to have blue and gold or green and gold for our class colors. A committee is selecting the motto.” “Blue and silver were our colois and our motto was “Not to the top, but still climbing!” Tnat is on thing that kept us on the go, living up to our motto.” “How did you make money. Some of us want to sponsor a show, oth¬ ers a dance. Which do you think i best, Mother?” “That depends on how much you work. Our freshman year we spoil sored a dance after the Knox game on the high school gym. Our second year we gave a George Washington dance after the Lowell game at the Community Building. They were successes both times, not only socially but financially.” “Mr. Dobson said we were going to have a Hallowe’en Carnival this year. He said they used to have them every year.” “We always had a king and queer, to reign over the carnival. The first our candidates were Mary Har¬ per and Milton Carlson. Our sopho¬ more year we chose Georgia Carroll, who lost by a small margin, and Floyd Seramur. Everything such ! as prizes and food was donated to the carnival. It was always a big affair.” j “Did they give sweaters and let- jters as rewards for good athletes (Continued on Page Twenty)

Jack Heide, Lawrence Toomey, Charles Hudson In the fall of 1932 about eighty freshmen began high school shyl. but ambitiously. At their first class meeting Lorraine Margison was elected president; Thelma Pettit vice-president; Bernard Wallace, treasurer; and Viola Heick, secre¬ tary. At the following meeting t’ v class colors, purple and white, and the class motto, “To the stars through difficulties,” were chosen. After the Hobart basketball game on February 10, they held their first dance which was considered a suc- f ss. The Club room of the Legion Hall was decorated in purple and white. On returning in the fall of 193° os sophomores, they were ambition - hut not in the right ways? They chose for president, Wilford Brown; Junior Notes vice-president, Marian Anderson; secretary, Jim Louis; and treasurer, John Borchert. On December 8, another dance was held. This was not as much ol a success as the first dance. But, nevertheless, the class struggled on with the hope that something b would happen when the time came. At the Hallowe’en Carnival, Aud- ! rey Smith and Fred Krull were the sophomore candidates for King and Queen. Several of the class took part in the operetta, ‘‘The Sunbonnet Girl Fred Krull was one of the leadin ' characters. They were “partially grown up.’ jwhen in the fall of 1934 they re- ! turned as juniors. They were pos¬ sessed with the idea that they would have to work in order to give a banquet and a prom for the sen¬ iors; so they chose the person that they thought best suited for the position of leading the class, Ray Bjorklund was elected president; Audrey Smith was chosen vice-pres¬ ident; Fred Krull, secretary-treas- urer. There were no activities the first semester, but the second semester the class sponsored on February 23 and 21, the picture, “Caravan”. This was a huge success. Around the first of May they expect to sponsor, “The Night Was Young”. Although this is not estimated to succeed like the first, the class hopes to make jsome money. They sincerely appre¬ ciate Mr. Johnson’s generosity in letting them sponsor two pictures. The junior nominees for King and Queen this year were Lorraine Mar- (Continued on Page Twenty)

Miss Foster and Mrs. Seamonson were chosen as advisors for the girls, and Mr. Kirk¬ patrick and Mr. Jones for the boys. Their first “big” duty was to elect officers and choose a class flower and colors. After a much de¬ bated election, this was accomplish¬ ed. Betty Griesel was elected president; Bob Welsh, vice-presi¬ dent; Bob Sykora, secretary, and Vella Lee Page, treasurer. June Thompson was chosen for the Student Council. Black and gold were selected as our colors, and the yellow rose for the class flower. The senior girls “threw” a “big sister” party for the freshmen girls at the fair grounds in the fall. Jimmy Wagner and Fern Purdy were chosen as the freshmen repre ¬ sentatives for king and queen of the Hallowe’en carnival at the close of the contest, Fern was chosen to reign as Queen of the carnival. June Thompson and Gladys Lif¬ fick showed unusually good talent in the leading parts of the annual high school operetta: “The Singer of Naples,” which was given Decem¬ ber sixteenth. A large group of freshmen girls and boys played minor parts. This year fifteen freshmen boys went out for football and proved to be most faithful in their practice. Bob Ellis, Mickey McKnight, Jim Wagner, Chuck Nassau, John Young, George Brooks, Bob Welsh, and Bob Sykora made up the fresh¬ men basket ball team. They were (Continued on Page Twenty Onei
