SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ' FOUR YEARS ago when we entered as green weeds into the fertile fields of Juneau High School, we met with the disgust and air of superiority of upperclassmen. Our only distinguishing fact was that We were the largest number of seeds ever sown within the domains of Juneau High. Buddy Lindstrom was drafted as chief caretaker with LeRoy West as his worthy assistant. Carol Robertson received the secretary's chair while Anabel Simpson assumed the duties of seed collector. In the second season of our birth in Juneau High, We lost our hideous green color, blossoming out into more activities as Sophdaisies. LeRoy and Carol were once more selected as class officials. LeRoy West became our chief while Bill Winn became his assistant. Alice Menzies and Carol Robertson were nominated to aid LeRoy and Bill in their clerical duties. Bill, LeRoy, and Alice participated in the all-school play. Later we Sophs wrested the ticket-selling prize from the other competing classes. To lead us safely through our third season of glory We selected 'iDutch Behrends as our most capable leader. Bill Winn, Anabel Simpson, and Inga Lindstrom were elected to help Dutch in his presidential tasks. The garden of Juniorias flourished industriously to make the Alice-in-Wonderland Prom a huge success. During intermission an enormous floor show was staged-a dance by some Mad Hatters and a group of Alices. In our last and finest year of supremacy in Juneau High School we placed Spiro Paul, Bob Rowe, Gertrude Conklin, and John Ritter in the chairs of office. For our Senior Ball- The Senior Snow Ball-we transformed the gym into a winter wonderland through superb decorations. Multi-colored lights gleamed on the make-believe snow falling from the ceiling. This ball was a grand success-the highlight of the Christmas festive season. After many weeks of expectant waiting we escaped over the garden wall for our Senior Sneak. This day of freedom was appreciated by all participating Seniors as well as those we left behind. Late in May came the last grouping of the 'Class of 19353' Amid throngs of proud parents Seniors received their well-earned diplomas and so departed into the various paths of life.

The large garden of magnificent Juniorias has once more sprung from-its fertile soil-the Juneau Public Schools. This annual occurrence was seen on the morning of the fourth day of September. Gardner Gray reported expectations of a large crop for 1934-35. During September we put our petals together and unanimously elected Howard Jack- son as chief caretaker and Harry Sturrock as his able assistant. Birdie Jensen will store the accumulation of pollen. Gardener Gray proclaimed that the garden of 1935 was unusually deficient in pansies. However, as the majority of this year's basketball squad consisted of Juniorias, this lack proved to be a gain. Walter Scott, Thomas Hall, Harry Sturrock, Kenneth Webster, and Ralph Bardi distinguished themselves on the maple court under the able supervision of Coach Regele. Few girls were proficient in athletic sports. Those making teams were Sylvia Berg, cageball, basketball, and volleyball: Berna Converse, volleyball and basketball. Sylvia Berg was also general manager for girls' sports for the second semester. Juniorias participating in the successfu play, Dulcy,l' were Patricia Harland, Walter Scott, Edward Slagle, Birdie Jensen, Herbert McClean, and Lewis Beaudin. Tom Stewart, Howard Jackson, and Edward Bowden played the leading roles in Dickens' 'KA Christmas Carol. Juniorias who sprouted with highest scholastic honors were Walter Scott, Emma Ness, and LeRoy West. Many Juniorias enrolled for the declamation contest. Those who were in the prelimi- nary contests were as follows: Oratory-Tom Stewart ffirstb, Kathleen Carlson Csecondb 1 dramatic-Joe Sterling Cfirsti, Ada Giovanetti fthirdJ : humorous-Emily Dalton fsecondi. Joe Sterling placed first in the semi-finals and first in the finals which took place at Peters- burg. At the end of the basketball season the J uniorias held their annual HProm. This colorful festival was a huge success and was proclaimed by many as the social highlight of the year. John Keats once said: A thing of beauty is a joy forever. If this saying be true, then the Juniorias, or Class of 1936, shall enter into this world of depression and shall succeed, or if not, will attempt, to make this world of ours a more beautiful and joyous place in which to live.
