In September, 1938, our group of ninety-six Freshmen started what looked to be a very promising year of fellowship. In October, Miss Greene, the class advisor, called a meeting for the election of class officers. After a number of nominations for the various offices were made, the following were chosen: President, Harrison Gale; Vice-president, Alice Jean Simon; Treasurer, Gene Timmons; Secretary, Wanda Berger. During the year many successful dance practices were held with Miss Childs officiating as dance instructress. These meetings were planned by the class for the benefit cf those in the group interested in learning how to dance. On March 31, 1939, the Freshmen sponsored their annual spring party for the entire high school and faculty. An interesting time for everyone was planned and it was apparent that everyone present spent a pleasant evening. Wanda Berger, Secretary.

After the passing of a few weeks of school, the following officers were elected: Roy Vannette of New Era, president; Lois Veenstra of Fremont, Vice-president; Barbara Kludy of Hart, Secretary; Doris Seaver of Montague, treasurer. These officers filled their positions competently and directed the class with a great deal of ability. The various schools represented here are as follows: Shelby, four; Wal-kerville, two; Hart, nine; Hesperia, one; Montague, two; Pentwater, one; Fremont, one. Although the work was new we have enjoyed teaching very much. We have the first, fourth, and sixth grades to teach. Miss Landon, the critic teacher, gave us invaluable guidance in starting teaching for the first time and carrying on after the first start was made. We are also indebted to Miss Stout for the excellent art and music training she gave us. While our Normal teacher, Miss Becker, spent several weeks in Florida during the winter, her place was filled by Mrs. Snow. Even though she was here but a short time we learned to like her very much. During the time that she was with us, we had a pot luck party. The decorations for the party were in honor of St. Valentine. We are all looking forward to a splendid skip-day trip and to graduation on the twenty-fourth of May with the hope that we shall be teaching next year. pa ye t iccnty-eigh t
