V4M: THE IONIAN 1932 Junior Class History The present Junior Class, the graduating class of ’33, three years ago enrolled as Freshmen in the Junior High School. Here they found so much with which to occupy themselves that they had no time for class organization and election of officers. The one class event of the year was the Freshman Picnic, which was held at Woodard Lake in June. In September, 1930, as Sophomores, we entered the Senior High School. This year also found us too busy for election of officers. In 1931 we became Juniors. After returning to our studies in September we elected the following officers: Gordon Benedict, President; Wayne Corey, Vice-President; Calla Cobb, Secretary; Alexander Sibley, Treasurer. Our class advisors are Miss Walldorf and Mr. Siders. As Juniors we have sponsored many “All School” parties, which included all the grades of the Junior and Senior High School, a new experiment in parties, as they had formerly included only the four upper grades. These parties have been more successful financially than those put on by other Junior classes. We also sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom, the main event of the Junior year. Most of the members of our class are eagerly looking forward to next year when they will assume the dignified role of Seniors. [12] Calla Cobb

1932 THE IONIAN Sophomore Class History In the fall of 1930, a large class of Freshmen enrolled in the Ionia Junior High School, conscious of the fact that they were the superiors in that building. Full of school spirit, we regularly attended the football, basket ball, and baseball games of the season, cheering loudly for the players. Because Woodard Lake was considered unfit for swimming, the close of the school year found us having our class picnic at Crystal Lake, and I am sure that none of us will forget the glorious time we had that day. Sophomores now at the Senior High. The first days of September, 1931, were full of humiliating experiences, for we were continually getting confused about the stairways and the “one-way traffic” in the halls. In a surprisingly short time, however, we grew accustomed to the building and began our year’s work in earnest. At a meeting held in October, the following class officers were elected: Kathryn McLean, President; Lucile Dunn. Vice-President; Howard Lawrence, Secretary; Pauline Edlin, Treasurer. The only social event of the year was a party given exclusively for Sophomores. We are very grateful to our sponsors, Miss Shoen and Mr. Janssen, to the committees who worked so diligently, and to the other members of the class who helped to make it a huge success. We are now one hundred sixty strong; we hope to continue so through our Junior and up to and including our Senior Year. [13] Kathryn McLean
