The freshmen class is the largest for many years. There were sixty-six enrolled in Sep- temberg but one member, Jane Plocher, dropped out during the year. The class chose Fred Siegrist for president, Betty Rohner for vice- president, and Blanche Tschannen for secre- tary-treasurer. The spirit of the class is ex- The class of '40 started out bravely with fifty-nine members but lost six during their first year. Betty Rohner, Dewey Zeller, James Gruenenfelder, and Marie Giger acted as their officers, and Miss Suess, Miss Wildi, and Mr. Homann tMr. Simerl the first semesterl were their sponsors. They chose for their motto No Ideals and You're Lost g their class colors, blue and white, and their flower, the blue iris. They soon overcame their bashfulness, and in February entertained the school with a Valentine Party which was most successful. In Who would recognize the thirty-seven jun- iors of today as partof that group of iifty- four freshies in '35? They are getting more dignified every day, and will soon be ready to step into the shoes of the departing seniors. As freshmen they chose the following of- ficers: Gene Schott, presidentg Gerald Suppi- ger, vice-presidentg Orba Trolliet, secretaryg and John Ammann, treasurer. Their sponsor was Mr. Simerl. During the year, the only social function that was given by the class was a wiener roast. As sophomores, the class numbered only forty-two. They chose Richard Siegrist, presi- dent: Marjorie Moser, vice-president: Lillian Michael, secretary: and Gene Schott, treasurer. Miss Suess and Mr. Rohner acted as their sponsors. Feeling a little better acquainted than they did the previous year, they gave an assembly program in addition to another 215' FRESH emplified by their motto, Graduate or Bust , and their class iiower, the cactus. Their colors are green and white. The class has not given any parties this year, but it has been well represented in sports, the band, glee clubs, and other activities. ' SOPHO ORES May they had a class hike. This year James Gruenenfelder has been their president, John Giger their vice-president, Earl Wehrle their secretary, and Ruth Casper their treasurer. All their plans for social activities have failed this year, but they are an industrious group and many of their members. appear on the honor roll. The G. A. A. boasts of many sophomore members, and they have contributed much to the support of other organizations. We expect big things of them next year. UNIGRS Wiener roast. Wiener roasts seem to be one of their weaknesses. When they met as juniors, they found that a few more had dropped from the ranks, since they now numbered only thirty-seven. Gene Schott served as their president this year, Mar- jorie Moser as vice-president, Orba Trolliet as secretary, and Marvin Lory as treasurer. Their class colors are silver and black, their class flower is the red tulip, and their class motto is Fight for the Right. Their class sponsors this year are Miss Drew and Mr. Rohner. They started the social functions of the year with a box social, which was given in October. It was quite a success in every way. In the early spring they presented their class play, Murder in Rehearsal. Even the seniors have to admit that it was a most excellent production. The biggest event of the year for the juniors is the junior-senior banquet, which will be held May 14. Judging by the diligent way in which the juniors are working on it, we are certain the seniors will be most pleased.
