28 THE EMPORIA - Te-Echo 1935 - HIGH SCHOOL This year, as is true of many other years has been a suc- cess for the Juniors. They have represented the class very efficiently in all of the school activities. Many of the names on the Honor Roll were taken up by a large portion of the Junior Class. The winning of the football conference was partially due to the unparalleled determination of some of the Junior boys on the team. Both the basketball court and the track field were swelled with boys of the Junior Class and many of them aided in capturing the basketball victories. They also dis- tinguishcd themselves on the track field. Some of the members of the class participated in the music contests and received high honors. The various clubs of the school such as, dramatics. Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Up and Atom, and G. A. A., can well boast of their large Junior membership. The yearly election for class officers was held at the beginning of the school year. Charles Sheridan, president, has shown himself to be very capable of holding that office. Merton Wisler was a very able vice-president, while Price Lewis, treasurer, and Lillian Rock, official scribbler, have filled the duties of their offices in a very commendable fashion. The sponsors of the Junior Class: Miss Douglass, Miss Miller, Miss Sirpless, Miss Rice, Mr. Stout, and Mr. Parker have shown a great amount of interest in the activities of the class for which the Juniors are very grateful. Next year the Juniors of '35 will be the Seniors of '36. Our places will be filled by our ,brother Sophomores and it is hoped that we have inspired them to go forward into their new positions as we have been encouraged by the out- going class of Seniors to whom we bid a lingering farewell. The unior Class .L,' CHARLES SHERIDAN .. President Charles has proved himself a worthy president during the year, being always ready when- ever called upon.

She has recorded the class ac- tivities most successfully. PRICE LEWIS .............. Trfusurrr Owing perhaps to the well- known depression, the funds for the Junior Class have been rather low, but whatever the sum we have gladly trusted it to GUI' tfustwofthy treasurer, Price Lewis.
