Class Lore Late in the spring of 1940, the january 1941 graduating class was organized. After carefully considering all the candidates for the different offices, Leslie Randall was elected president, Alan Barrett, vice-president, Ma1'tha Goff, secretary, and Audrey Palm, treasurer. The seniors were indeed satisfied with their selections, and they had just cause to be for the president, Leslie Randall, and his officers proved to be efficient in every way. The first problem to confront the class was that of class pins. Karl Klein was selected to do this work and the class chose not only a different pin than usual but also an altogether different guard. Bob Taylor was the head of the Pin Committee and did a very efficient job. VVith the entrance of fall, there came many graduation problems. To begin with, a class photographer had to be chosen. Finally, Fink studio was chosen and every- one was, well satisfied with their work. Every senior is anxious to have an Almanac in which are kept pictures of their class mates and activities. It is what you might call a diary of their senior year. Ruth Cameron was selected to edit this book, Irene Gayler was chosen her associate, and Louise Cutler, business manager. Hicks-Chatten Engraving Company did the engraving and Durham, Ryan and Downey did the printing. Holding to the Franklin tradition the Seniors entertained the Freshies at their Freshie Frolic in October. Barbara Ross, comely Freshman, won the coveted position as Freshie Queen. After a program in the auditorium, refreshments were served in the cafeteria and dancing followed in the gym. The greatest problem was that of deciding whether to have caps and gowns or formals and suits. Caps and gowns were selected. Dr. O. R. Chambers, Professor of Psychology at Oregon State, will deliver the commencement address. Graduation time grew nearer and the class then decided to have its baccalaureate services at the llflount Tabor Presbyterian Church. Nlany more problems confronted this group and each in turn was solved. By popular vote, at one of the class' last meetings, Irene Gayler was elected Valedic- toriang Ruth Cameron, Almanac editor, and Dorothy Playford, our girl Thursday, tied for the honored position of Girl Nlost Likely to Succeed . Eob Taylor won the title as the Boy hlost Likely to Succeed . Hilda Gearhart, class play lead, was chosen 'fthe most popular girl in the January 1941 Class . .Al Barrett, our football captain, was picked as the most popular boy in the January 1941 Class . By strange coincidence, the two girls voted most likely to succeed, the most popular girl, and the valedictorian are all graduates of Arleta grade school. And now Franklinls January 1941 class joins the other classes that once roamed Franklinls halls, but no matter where the individuals go or what they become they will always consider themselves a part of Franklin High School and will at all times feel its influence in everything they do. Their only hope is that they may prove themselves worthy of being the Alumni of Franklin High. 20
