CLASS HISTORY ALONG with the depression, two hundred thirty-eight little, green hopefuls hit Klamath Union High School, utterly devoid of manners and intelligence. The class elected Jack Buchanan, president; Bill Ferrell, vice-president; and Frank Drew, secretary-treasurer. After white-washing the K , under the supervision of the sophomores, they returned to the high school and proceeded to paint the general premises red while they wore green at the Frosh reception, October 30. After being duly subdued they began their career by showing the upper classmen that they knew a thing or three about the depression. The girls won the interclass volleyball championship and placed second in the basketball tournament. Gerene Tipton and Perry Hawkins talked the Freshmen into second place in interclass debate. In spite of their many activities the class managed to win, several times King Solomon, a cup given to the class having the largest percentage of increase in scholarship. Before long they acquired that sophisticated look which is common to sophomores. Satisfied with Jack Buchanan's efficient leadership, he was again elected class president with Frank Drew, vice-president, and Marie Sewell, secretary-treasurer, as his assistants. As sophomores, the class was represented in every activity that would allow their entrance. Many members of the various athletic teams came from the class. In their Junior year the class became determined to lick the depression with Chester Jones as president; Eric Hexburg, vice-president; and Verna Ireton, secretary-treasurer. — 9 3 4 — ■ — Jack Buchanan Eugene Barrows - Harry Jones Winona Dodson Arthur Brooks

 ■ — THE EL RODEO ■ - ===== The class was represented in the traffic squad, interscholastic debate, student body play, El Rodeo and Krater Staffs, as well as the various clubs. Many junior boys wore the pelican numerals in football, basketball, and track. The depression hung on and school was forced to close May 12, (not that the students cared.) Next fall the members of the class of '34 arrived at that unbelievable state of mind, high and mighty seniors. Jack Buchanan, who had previously been defeated for the position of student body president by Frank Drew, was demanded again for the class presidency. Again the class members took prominent positions in everyone of the school activities. The varsity football eleven, basketball quintet, and the track team, were comprised largely of senior boys. The seniors, with their old do or die spirit, won the annual El Rodeo drive. Deciding that two can starve as cheaply as one, Orrel Rosecrans, Chester Jones, Imogene Jones, Goldie McCullough, Erma Purdy, Grace Bafford, and May Reed took the marriage vows. It was all too soon that they graduated to the tune of NRA, PWA, CWA, RFC, HOLC, TVA, and AAA. 19 3 4 Turin
