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

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)

Junior High Notes In the fall of 1934 there were ninety-six Junior High School pupils enrolled, forty-four being seventh grade pupils which came to this building for the first time. Some of the seventh graders are so small we thought they might have come from the fourth or fifth grade. The Professor: “Your son has a great thirst for knowledge. Where does he get it?” Mother: “He gets the knowledge from me and the thirst from his father.” advisors are Miss Dutton and Miss Smith. The eighth grade class has gone in for athletics in a big way this year, the boys coming through by winning the class basketball tourn¬ ament and also winning all outside games except one. In celebration of the winning of the class tourna- Mrs. Seamonson: “Who was King of France during the Revolution?” Heide: “Louis the Thirteenth—no, the Fifteeneth—no, the Fourteenth —no, the—well, anyhow he was in his teens.” ment the boys entertained some ol the girls. The eighth grade girls have done quite well, winning three games oui of five. Soon our eighth grade year will be over and we will begin four years of hard grinding. Mr. Atkins: “Before I was married I said I would be the boss or know the reason why.” Mr. Jones: “And now?” Mr. Atkins: “I know the reason why.”
