Junior Class l-lisl:ory In 1933, the first year that the junior-senior high school program was used at the Lincoln School, a group of us, forty-five strong, entered the seventh grade. Miss Seglem was chosen adviser of our large class. In the eighth grade, five had dropped out, leaving a class roll of forty. This time Miss Lindquist kept watch over us. The class was divided into HA and B divisions for convenience in con- ducting classes. With anxiety, we looked forward to the next year, when we would be grown up ninth graders. In the fall of the year 1935, thirty-nine of us, as freshmen, en- tered our first year of high school. We knew each other well because of our previous associations in the seventh and eighth grades. This group was very ably and successfully started on its upward climb by Miss Kihlgren, class adviser. The main activity of the year was the oh-so-much-dreaded initiation. Election of class ofiicers brought about the following results: president, Charles Lehto: vice-president, Evelyn Koski: secretary, Fred Johnson: and treasurer, John Hill. En- couraged and in high spirits, we left school in the spring, hoping to return in the fall with more enthusiasm to be counted among the senior high students. Much to our sorrow, September of 1936 showed that our class roll had dropped to twenty-seven. The class adviser was Mr. Leslie Knuti. The oflicers were Evelyn Koski, president: Charles Lehto, vice-president: and Ralph Peterson, secretary-treasurer. Again initia- tion proved itself to be the main feature of the year, but this time we sophomores, feeling very much superior to the freshmen, gained revenge for our treatment of the year before. When we, enrolled last fall for our junior year, our class roll had dropped still lower-this time to twenty-two. Miss Harney and Mr. Stegemann have very ably served us as advisers. The class officers are Charles Lehto, president? Verna Maunu, vice-president: and Gordon Peterson, secretary-treasurer. The annual junior class play, the Chintz Cottage, under the direction of Miss Kommes and Miss Seglem, was a great success. As the annual goes to press, we are anticipating good times at the junior-senior banquet and other spring activities. In spite of the fact that our class has decreased in number, our class parties, high school mixers, and various other activities have been very successful. The students who have joined,our ranks during these years are Bertha Ropponen, Jean Endsley, James Riback, and Ralph Peterson. And thus, this class of 1939, is looking forward to next fall, when we shall come back as full-fledged, and so-called dignified seniors to complete our high school days, and next spring to be graduated and to carry away with us pleasant memories of good old Lincoln High.
