SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Thirty eight little green cowboys started in 1936 on their big roundup to gather knowledge, and have all the strays marked and branded by the year of 1940 These thirty eight little green horns started following the trail of knowledge on a well trodden path leading up the hill to the campground of education. The officers elected for the annual roundup were: overseer, Mr. Charles Boyd; foreman, Howard Riplet; under foreman. Fern Holley and bookkeeper, Albert Stevenson. They traveled up the road of knowledge on foot for only one week when their superior sophomores made drug store cowboys out of them and gave them stick horses. Laws were passed against riding shod horses on the sidewalks. For punishment of their greenness, the cowgirls lost their ten-gallon hats, which were replaced by an upsweep hair do and a skull can, and the boys were taught to wear dresses and put their pants on backwards. Shirley Temple (Raymond Smith) and Baby Snooks (Albert Stevenson) won prizes at the rodeo. After nine months of humiliation, the herds were driven out to graze in green pastures for a three month vacation. In the fall the chuck wagon was pulled out and there was a great reunion; the cattlemen started riding the trail of learning again. Those who did not come back were: Ada Kimble, Ruth Backbone, Chester Overturf, Norton Barebelorw, Irene Carlo and Philip Wallace. Norma Brock came back for one-half of the year. The new ovej -seer was Mr. George Balough; foreman, Dorothy Knutson; under foreman, Albert Stevenson and bookkeeper, Raymond Smith. When the roundup was half over they moved into a new chuck wagon. Before turning out for the surmer all the hands held a reunion picnic. With days on the trail half over, the wranglers felt able to tackle much bigger and harder yearlings and problems in the present and future. They re-elected as overseer, Mr. Balough; foreman, Albert Stevenson; underforeman, Raymond Smith and bookkeeper, Josephine Westbrook. Those who went to other ranches were: Ethel Graham, Inez Hutchinson, Ruth Keller, Wilma Luokett, Junior Morgan, Howard Riplet and Georgia Micklovich. These were replaced by Harry Mefford, Orville Stovall, John Messer and Walter Pease. At the rodeo some showed their skill by acting in And Mary Did . On April 14, the cowboys and girls really put on the trinmings for their junior prom. Late in May, they mounted old faithful and galloped off to their own, little camps. In 1940, back they rode twenty eight strong cowhands, sixteen boys and twelve girls, but later Neva Brockway and Fat Pease dropped out. They were replaced by Robert Shipley at the half mark. Robert Wiley, who had been riding hard for two years caught up to graduate with the class of 1940. You Are Only Young Once , was the motto for the yearly rodeo. On the evening of May 19, each was given a piece of paper on which was carved his name and the bravery of his deeds. A few days later these full-fledged wranglers bade their buddies a sad good-bye with the hone that they meet again in the last great roundup. CLASS MOTTO It isn’t the gale, but the set of the sail, that determines the T ay we go. CLASS COLORS Blue and Silver CLASS FLOWER White Carnation 12
