Completing a year of splendid activity, the officers of the Associated Stu- dent Body have very efficiently directed the varied and interesting activities of the school with profit and pleasure to the members of the body. ln all the different phases of managership, athletics, dramatics, public speaking, and journalistic activity, the group has been successful. This year, the A. S. B. financed football, basketball, track, an all-school play, golf, tennis, kittyball, glee club, orchestra, band, school operetta., girls' athletics, debate, declamation, and extemporaneous speaking. The students also assisted in the making of the playfield and purchased nets for the tennis courts. Representative students were chosen to attend the Student Leaders' Con- ference held in Yakima in December. This conference was sponsored by the Yakima Junior College for the purpose of discussing student activities and problems with students from other high schools of the Yakima Valley. Student and faculty delegates were present from schools between Easton and Pasco, representing every school activity, athletics, school annuals, newspapers, boys' and girls' clubs, yell leading, dramatics, and others. Discussions proved ben- eficial, both in solving old problems, and helping to get a start on new activi- ties. Inspirational talks by George B. Cole of the State College of Washing- ton, together with the recreation provided, completed the program for the day's conference, making it one long to be remembered by the delegates. Many interesting, entertaining, and helpful assembly programs have been presented, under the direction of Miss Ruth Argall, for both junior and sen- ior high school students. Among the outstanding programs were those plan- ned to commemorate special days throughout the year. This year, Kenneth Bowers was elected president, Dale Correa, vice presi- dent, Grace Russell, secretary: Kermit Charlton, treasurer: Pat Dorsey, junior representativeg and George Fitterer, sophomore representative. Carter Crimp, Dale Correa, Bob Dunnington, and Merritt Des Voigne served capably as managers for the various A. S. B. sports. Wynne Rogers is flag salute leader. 4

Wager was elected to the position left open by the resignation of Mr. Albert Crimp. The other members of the Board, Mr. john Faust and Mr. C. Sterling, have continued to serve on this organization, important to, but sel- dom seen by the pupils of the school. Another change, not in the personnel of the school, but one which will affect a greater number of students now and in the future, is the construc- tion of Morgan Field, the new playground, which represents the foresight, interest, and untiring efforts of Superintendent Putnam and the members of the Board of Directors, together with the splendid cooperation of townspeople, faculty, and county officials and the C. W. A., under the management of Mr. F. T. Evans. Two tennis courts have been built on the field, and allowances have been made for the construction of a gymnasium at some time. The name of John H. Morgan, friend and adviser to scores of students during his years of service as principal, will be perpetuated, since the playground has been dedicated to him. 3

I7n1r'1'r.w SENIUIQS The first activity of the year for the Class of '34 was the All-High Mixer, given to acquaint the incoming sophomores with the Senior High students. The different classes and alumni were tagged and many new and interesting features were carried out during the evening. The Senior Class annually sponsors the Christmas program and this year, instead of giving the pageant, The Nativity, as had been done for three years previously, a play, The Perfect Gift, was beautifully staged by the Drama Club, and was well received by the students. The Class of '34 won the interclass debate cup for the second time in its history, with Kenneth Bowers, Eloise Kay, lsephine Hodges, Don Snyder, and Lucille Tallman re- presenting the class. The Seniors and juniors sponsored a play, The Crystallized Romance, and hilarious take-offs on the faculty members as a matinee program late in May. The Senior Play, HTommy, with a cast of six players with roles of about equal importance, was a success both for the class and for Mr. Vivian, for whom this was the sixth Senior play in this school. Doctor B- Scott Bates delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduates, and Mr. Erio A. Johnston of Spokane was secured to give the commence- ment address. Student speakers at the commencement exercises, lsephine Hodges and Kenneth Bowers, were chosen because of the excellence of their scholastic records during their high school years. Other students in the class outstanding for their scholarship were Clifford Bramlett, Henry Bongiorni, Cecile Suydan, Esther Palmer, Josephine Lynn, and Richard Hubbell. lncluded also among the final activities of the class were the unique class day program and the Senior Ball. The Class of '34 this year chose Donald Snyder for presidentg Hallock Smith, vice president, Martha Snyder, secretaryg and Willis Strange, treasurer. lVliss Maloney was the adviser of the class during its last year. 5
