JUNIOR CLASS NOTES At the beginning of the school year, there were twelve pupils enrolled as Juniors. They were Lindon Brown, Clara Cromwell, Ida Fox, Jennie Fowlie, Ruth Herrick, Anson Snowden, Edward Spaulding, Muriel Stev- ens, Myron Reed, Marguerite Price, Minnie West, and Phyllis Bailey. We are sorry to say that Jennie Fowlie left at the first of the year. A few days after schoo-l began, we held a class meeting and elected the following oflicers: President Edward Spaulding Vice President Myron Reed Treasurer Lindon Brown Secretary Marguerite Price Class Editor Phyllis Bailey Soon after this, plans were made to hold a Hallowe'en Ball at Harmony Grange Hall, on October 29. A class meeting was called and the following committees were chosen: Program: Ruth Herrick, Minnie West, and Phyllis Bailey. Decoration: Lindon Brown, Anson Snowden. Refr-eshments: Marguerite Price, Muriel Stevens, Ida Fox, Clara Cromwell. About the middle of November, we began to talk about class rings. We could not decide on any ring at that time but we hope to have them before the year is over. Several members of this class hav-e taken part in basketball. They are Muriel Stev- lens, Phyllis Bailey, Lindon Brown, Anson Snowden, and Myron Reed. Also, one mem- ber of our class, Myron Reed, was on the debating team. Several people have suggested that we have a Junior Prom, but, as yet, no plans have been made. -Phyllis Bailey, Class Editor. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The Sophomore class gave the customary Freshman initiation during the last part of September. The Freshmen were made to do other things, which pleas-ed the audience. There was a social and dance afterward. The following class oflicers were elected for the year: Carolyn Deering President Erland Cobb Vice President Hattie Ricker Secretary and Treasurer The Sophomores were not very successful in the- annual peanut hunt, but then-even some of the Freshies didn't know about it. Our class is represented on the basketball team by Carolyn Deering as right forward, and Vida Fowlie as substitute. Four parts in the Student Council Play, The Red-Headed Stepchild , were played by Sophomores. The four are Vida Fowlie, Vaughn Giggey, Erland Cobb and Arlene Reed. -A. Reed, '37. FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES At the beginning of the year there were twenty students enrolled as Freshmen but the class has now been reduced to eleven. A class meeting was soon called and the following officers were chosen: President Merle Sinclair Vice President Gussie Jenkins Secretary Myrtie Foss Treasurer Walter West When the ten commandments came out we found out that we girls were obliged to wear black aprons, mismated hose, and green neck- tiesg the boys had to wear stoppers as beads, green hair ribbons, and both boys and girls had to drag their books to school in a pastfeboard box. The following Friday evening a large crowd attended the Freshman Reception. After the peanut hunt we presented the Sophomores with a bag of peanut shells. Ronald Reed, John McCarthy, Freida Fow- lie and Eleanor Lombard took part in bas- ketball this year. Three Freshmen have taken a part in the Student Council Play-Freida Fowlie, Elea- nor Lombard and Ronald Reed. -F. Fowlie, Class Editor. l
