RETTA HOURS JAXIS HOPPEXRATH FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTS Four years in High School! When saying it. it doesn't sound like such a long time, but remembering hack over the years a lot has happened.—Xow. in our Senior year, we seem to be good friends, to have a mutual feeling which has been obtained by our contacts with ono another. It seems rather funny remembering Bud Moschell as the fat. awkward boy of our freshman year, compared with the good-looking, smooth boy of the senior year.—And who could ever forget the constant trouble which went on between the Jinx Sub-Deb Club and the U. F. H.. all wasted effort really, since now they're combined into the Q. B. Q.!—doesn't it seem like a miracle when you realize “Gabby” Wesseler has talked at the same speed for four years and still hasn’t run out! Our sophomore year was the first year our boys began to show what they had in the field of athletics; everyone was surprised and hopeful and the boys didn’t let them down! This year was also our first year to organize; Lyle Clapper was our president. Isn’t it amazing when you stop to think liow Delores Blankenship has kept her record for scholary achievements? Who could forget our junior year, when the “St. Joe students came in our midst, to add to our class in achievement and ability? That was the year Fettig and Justice began their long era of steady. Through these years the tide gradually changed from the female crave for older boys to the realization of what their class held for them along the line of men! The junior year brought another election, with Clapper still as president. Then came the big year, our senior year, with “John” Green leading in excitement for the new find.” After that had calmed down. Dick Bannon proved to be the next victim; we all saw Sonja Henie this year also; and were there any of us who didn’t feel important because we had inherited the middle section of the auditorium ? Incidentally, Clapper was also our Senior president! Most of us began to realize that we were almost through school and we started to make plans for our future. Speaking of the future, it should be a safe job for anyone who would like to make campaigning for Clapper for Mayor his vocation!

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS. Mike Justus, President; Mary Frances Robertson, Vice President; Basil Blackburn, Treasurer; Sarah Alice Dudley, Secretary. JUNIORS The juniors have passed their two years of being underclassmen. In fact they have nearly caught up with the seniors. When the seniors move out this spring the halls will be waiting for these juniors in their dirty red cords and shirts to take over. We are sure they will make good—so more power to them and the best of luck!
