The pioneer holds an honorable place in American tradition. The class of 39, being in truth a pioneer, holds an honorable position in the tradi- tion of the school. Two years ago it entered upon its collegiate life. Al- most one hundred strong, it came'-and now, reduced to a fourth of that number, it leaves. Let's look back- The class of '39 began its career in the high school building in Septem- ber, 1937. It pursued its studies, its activities, and its parties in whatever space was allotted to it--and creditably, too--'Aamong other larger classes with whom it had no ties. This first class of Joplin Junior College organized a Student Senate, of which Kathleen Moyer was elected president. Enos Currey was the editor of the first annual which was a part of the high school yearbook. In sports the college was represented by football, basketball, and track teams. The first prom was held in the spring with Edith Lundien reigning as campus queen. In extra-curricular activities, the two societies, Alpha Kappa Mu and the Men's Club, paved the way for the campus social life. Last, but not least, the class play, The Patsy, ended the first successful year. In another year, this little class had its own building and a Freshman class to keep it company. With the best of surroundings and encourage- ment, it has come into its own. Leading the student body in government and all activities, the class has helped lay a firm foundation for a growing institution. The work of the class is done. Soon it will be graduated and make way for other classes to come. As the years pass by, the members of this class will be proud to look back and say, We were the pioneers.
