We had climbed many slopes, crossed many plains and now, in 1927, we were at the foot of an enormous mountain. Four more years and we would be at the top. We readily saw that a group of one hundred and fifty-four Freshmen needed organization. F'or a leader we chose Joseph Rose; assistant leader, William Helms; financier, Hollis Dole; recorder, Robert Thompson; representative to outside world, Eugene Lee. Mrs. W. J. Mishler was chosen adviser. To relieve the monotony of the journey, we gave the Sophomores a party. We took second on Stunt Night. We were well represented in all activities. By 1928 our journey was one-fourth over. The following were elected to lead the group to a higher plane: Florence Johnson, leader; Billy Helms, assistant; Velma Allen, recorder; Jack Bennett, financier; and Vera Gray, representative. Mrs. Mishler was again chosen adviser. This year we put on a pleasing program on Washington’s birthday. We entertained the Freshmen with a party. We won the pennant for rally night and for the Toka contest. We again took second place on Stunt Night. By 1929 we were a group much looked up to. Much was expected of us. We didn't fall short. Byron Harmon as leader. Jack Bennett, assistant; Nona Carper, recorder; Vera Gray, financier; Velma Allen, representative, and Miss Gorman, adviser, successfully kept our crew climbing. By this time we could see the top. One class had just reached it and disappeared to—we knew not where. We won the rally night pennant. The Washington’s birthday program was sponsored by the Juniors of ’31. On December 6, 1929, a very pleasing class play entitled “The Touchdown” was presented. Junior Flunk Day and the Junior-Senior barbecue were observed. As Seniors, we knew the journey was nearly over. We look back on our many trials and troubles, most of which have ended in victory for us. Some have been unable to make the grade—others have dropped out for various reasons. At the beginning of our last year as pioneers we elected Hollis Dole, leader, Arthur Simpson, assistant, Nona Carper, recorder; Warren Ausland, financier; Leslie Shaw, representative; Miss Walker and Miss Gorman, advisers. Velma Allen was elected assistant leader when Arthur Simpson moved away. We successfully put over the Senior Reception. An unusually interesting Christmas program was given. We won the 1 oka pennant and the Student Body dues contest. On April 13 and 16 the Senior class play, “Summer Is A-Comin’ In” was very successfully presented at the Rivoli theater. Dress-up Day followed. The last hike with all members present was the Senior 1 able Rock hike on May 15.
