However, no one was permanently injured and later we enjoyed several freshmen- sophomore parties. Athletics at McClure had been declining for some time. and this year it reached its lowest ebb. Although our class members participated in some sports. they could hardly have been re- ferred to as making the team for such an organization hardly existed. B The spring and summer of 1934 proved the undoing of fifty percent of our members, as we only had ten enrolled when school began in the fall. Cnce again Irene Johnson was el- ected president of the class. Junior Connolly was elected vice president. and John Chamberlin elected secretary-treasurer. John was also elected treasurer of the newrly organized Student Body. This year marked another milestone. as we revived the practice of producing a Junior Class Play in order to raise money to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet. This play was called the Spanish Onion . The banquet was held at the Memorial Building and it proved to be quit: an elaborate affair. During this year athletics staged a come-back and our members were active in baseball and basketball. playing a full season for the first time in three years. The new impetus given music instruction during this year struck a responsive chord in the class so that practically all mem- bers were in at least one of the musical organizations. ln between the Junior and Senior years we lost three more members--all fzirls-Jean Fiser. Bonita Brown and Anna Sells. They were married during the summer. This left a bare seven

ARTHUR SMITH Ml'lZt Class islorq On September 5, 1932 we entered the halls of McClure high school in quest of further education. We were nineteen in number. and were as green as any freshman class. At least. that is what the sophomores told us. However. we realized the value' of leadership and organ- ized our class with the following ofhcers: President, Karl Kurz: vice president, Raymond Staub: secretary-treasurer, Junior Connolly. Raymond and Junior have remained with the class. but Karl moved to another school. During our freshman year we were represented in athletics and music. Enid Hagedorn and Junior Connolly entered the orchestra. Junior played the cornet while Enid felt more at home while performing on the saxophone. Robert Clark and Vllaldo Bennett made the baseball team. Waldo also played basketball along with John Chamberlin and Herman Ballmer. Bonita Brown and Irene Johnson played on the girls' basketball team. In the fall of 1933 we assembled again, only to discover that we had lost some members and gained others. This time we were twenty in number. This year our president was Irene Johnson: our vice president, Enid I-lagedorn: and our secretary-treasurer, Junior Connolly. As was the custom. we gave the freshmen a royal initiation. much to our enjoyment and their dis- Annual Staff: 'The Spanish Onion 3: Pageant 4: The Wild Oats Boy 4. AAL
