Officers who were elected in October to serve for the rest of the year were George Lowry, President; Lois Hedley, Vice-President; and Frances Poulson. Secretary-Treasurer. During the spring, the class held a pot-luck supper, during which a formal meeting was held to decide matters of interest to seniors, and to decide on a way to raise money for the senior gift and other class expenses. Throughout the second semester, meetings were held at noon every Wednesday in the Commons. On April 16, the senior class, together with the Areata Firemen, gave a very successful dance at the Firemen's Hall in Areata. The proceeds were used to buy the senior gift, which was a new enlarger for the school darkroom. Graduation exercises were held in the college gymnasium on June 10, with Dr. Paul F. Cadman, economics teacher of the University of California, as speaker.

Granted, the arrival of Charlie Erh and a whole contingent of football players at the time of their entrance was a factor in the Humboldt renaissance. The class of '39 bears the distinction of being the first class ever enrolled at Humboldt to win the Frosh-Soph Brawl for the two successive years in which they participated. As Sophomores they inaugurated the initiation of Frosh women by compelling them to wear yellow or green yarn beards for a period of two weeks. They also controlled the destinies of the Men's Association. the Lumberjack, the Rally Committee, the Student Body Dance Committee, the football and basketball teams, and were well represented in all other college organizations. In September, on viewing their dwindled ranks. Humboldt's wonder class decided that since their Bob Madsen was directing student affairs, they could rest on their laurels, and promptly proceeded to disintegrate. It required three bulletin board notices to round up the strays in order to elect officers. Fred Jack on Sec.-T roasuror
