S. for this class. You ' ve guessed it; they were the Juniors of 1942. Much of their success can be attributed to the careful guidance of their sponsor, Miss Eloise Lewton. The class chose equally efficient officers to assist Miss Lewton in planning necessary and entertaining activities. Those who held the class offices were Max Shady, president; Murvel An- drews, vice president; Dale Von Gun te n, secre- tary; and Charles Arnold, treasurer. The class had a total membership of fifty-one. Yes, it was a rather small class, but this handicap was easily overcome. During the year six mem- bers led the remainder of the class in attaining the goal which was represented by their motto — We shall be what we make ourselves. Those appear- ing on the honor roll at least once during the year were Joan Cowens, Jack Graham, Lois Baughman, Richard Abbott, Gerald Kimble, and Berniece Barber. The class was proud of the fact that one of its members. Jack Graham, entered college dur- ing the summer because of an exceptionally high scholastic rating. Let us now take a look at the athletic achievements of the junior class. There were several junior football heroes who can say that they did their best and tried their hardest to play a fair and square game, whether they were victorious or not. Those who were on the line-up were Charles Arnold, guard; Merlin Feasel, tackle; Murvel Andrews, end; Raymond Johnson, backfield; Don Grote, backfield; Paul Rickord, guard; all as regulars; and reserves, Cal Peterson, guard; Max Leonardson, end; and Richard Abbott, backfield.
