Class History The year 1934 was quite eventful. John Dillinger, the famous outlaw was captured, Germany signed a non-aggression pact with Poland, the German people approved the consolidation of the offices of president and Chan- cellor in a single Leader-Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, and the class of '46 began school. Some of us began at the White School, Glenwood, Hartford and East Sunnyside, while a few of us started school in various places throughout the country. Our grade school years passed swiftly, then in 1942 we merged together into a large Freshman class, totaling forty-seven, with Miss French as our adviser. We were divided into three Home Rooms; Home Economics, General Science, and F.F.A. The girls elected as their officers first semester: President—Barbara Ness, Vice President—Norma Jean Crossland, Secre- tary—Pat Davidson, and Treasurer—Nancy Manning. Officers for the second semester were: President—Norma Jean Crossland, Vice President—Nancy Manning, Sec- retary—Barbara Ness, and Treasurer—Barbara Dana. The General Science Home Room elected: President—Don Hallanger, Vice President—John Cockburn, Secretary- Treasurer—Kenny Williams. The F.F.A. did not elect any officers as they decided their activities took too much of their time. We edited the Junior Beacon for the third year, with John Cockburn as editor; Barbara Ness, assistant editor,- and Pat Davidson, business manager. During our Freshman year, we gave one dance which we called The Freshman Ball. It was held in the gym after school. Thirty-seven students made up our sophomore class and we elected John Cockburn, President; Bill Hubbard, Vice President; Pat Davidson, Secretary; Barbara Ness, treasurer; and Jackie Bushong, council representative. We sponsored two dances that year and the Freshman-Sophomore party. Mr. Bancroft was our adviser. Ten members of our class were in Torch. Perhaps one of the best years of our lives was our Junior year. The boys swung the election for class officers. The officers were as follows: President—Victor Johnson, Vice President—Bill Hubbard, Secretary—Paul Parkins, Treasurer—Kenny Williams, and the Council Representative was Barbara Dana. Viola Dailey entered our class from Ballard High in Seattle and we lost Jim Jubb to the Navy.

■ . J The Junior Prom, of course, was the biggest event of the year. Our chair- men were: General Chairmen—Barbara Dana and Kenny Williams, Decorations— Jackie Bushcng, Refreshments—Jean Taro, Music-Dorothy Domholt and John Cockburn, Intermission—Nancy Manning, and Advertising—Barbcra Ness. Our theme was an old South scene with flowers, a southern mansion, darkies picking cotton, a moonlight scene with a romantic boy and girl in the center and a huge magnolia tree in the background. Wally Erfert's Orchestra furnished the music for our dancing from 8:00 to 11:45 p.m. We sponsored quite a few successful dances in our Junior year. Maybe one to be remembered almost as long as the Prom is the Barn Dance, at which the Roaring Four made their debut. As Seniors, we elected Bill Hubbard, President; Evelyn Reddeman, Vice President; Maryanne Blem, Secretary; Mabel Gustafson, Treasurer,- Paul Par- kins, Council Representative; and Henry Neys, Sergeant-at-arms. Four new students entered our class: Ruth Wood from Darrington, Henry Neys from Alberta, Canada, Irene Sullivan from Morton, and Alvin Thomp- son from Burlington. Jack and Jim Sahlbom entered our class after serving in the Marine Corps, but graduated early. 3 3
