LEW WALLACE ■IIUI SCHOOL LEW WALLACE IIIOII THE j U N I OR CLASS £ £ IzZ The class of 1939 entered high school with high anticipations for the ensuing four years. The faculty sponsors, who were to lend their guiding hands, were Mr McBride, Mr. Coons, Miss Helmerick, Mr. Tor- mohlen, Miss Lemon, Mr. Adams, Mrs. Elkinton, Miss Street, and Miss Shelley. Organization was soon effected under the leadership of Dan Jenkins, president; Shirley Reichardt, vice-president; and Vera McHenry, secretary-treasurer. After several meetings the class sponsored their Fresh¬ man Frolic which was held in the new cafeteria. The “frosh” voted their own party a success. As sophomores, the class of 1939 lost Mr. Coons as one of its spon¬ sors. Soon after Ellen Zeigler was elected tesident ; Cyriel Scherrens, vice- president; and Charles Popovich, sgcc taiy neasurer, the class became en¬ grossed in preparations for the Sopkb tf J w hich was held in December. The grand march, led by Ellen ZeW pM Janrns Briggs, opened an evening of dancing. The last Sophomore acfiyiK... he r e sale, was held in April of 1937. The goal set, the sale of three huSMo dozens, was exceeded by an additional one hundred and seventy-two opzfeihs. Marjorie Akers’ dramatic ability wdn ner an important role in the sophomore play, “The Poor Little Fych jirV Wright Beasey’s fine tenor voice easily rated the lead in the ay(n uk open The Bohemian Girl” The Better Citizenship Organizatior efe£$ed one oVjpb class, Norma Sisler, as clerk for that group and the yea fosed with tne first annual Student Gov¬ ernment Conference, held in our school. When we returned in the Fall, Martha Doherty was elected president ; Dan McKinley, vice-president; and Alice Novotny, secretary-treasurer. Im¬ mediately after selecting our class rings, we held our orange sale. It was an all-time record breaker, with Margaret Boyd selling the greatest number of dozens. Robert Mock, as Earnest in the Junior play, “The Importance of Being Earnest’ , developed unsuspected histrionic ability and made a decided hit Arthur Carroll rose to stardom in basketball this year. The Better Citizen¬ ship Organization elected James Briggs president and Robert Black judge. Cyriel Scherrens succeeded Bob as judge when the latter was incapacitated through an accident. In the spring all thoughts turned to the Junior-Senior Prom and the committees worked tirelessly to make this culminating event a success. And so the year ended for the Juniors, who will return in the fall for their final year of work, study, and play. —Ellen Zeigler Page thirty
