Student Body Leaders Scholastically the two outstanding students of the Senior class were Pearl Mills, who ranked highest in her four year grade average, and Burton Main, who ranked second. Pearl automatically became Valedic- torian of the class. Burton, who became Salutatorian, also was president of Torch Honor Society during his Senior year. Music entrants in the spring 1942 contest at Tacoma were Geraldine Cjarin, violin, and Thelma Jellison, piano. Geraldine won an Excellent rating for her rendition of Meditation from Thais by Massenet. Thelma was also Captain of the Girls' Drill Team which performed in smart white uniforms between halves at basketball games. Probably best known and best liked of Monroe High students was Margaret Hirschy, president of the student body. Her activities were varied and numerous, but she always had time to do a favor and, what's more to the point, do it with a smile. Pat Heifort, Drum Majorette, did her twirling while marching at the head of the band. The activities of the Senior class of 1942 came to a successful close under the guidance of Art Watson, Mae Hibbard, Bob Hopkins, and Gordon Wood. A most eager and energetic Senior trio, the Cheer Leaders— Natalie McCarty, Don Mortensen, and Minerva Halverson—accounted for much of the success of our basketball season. It was their well planned and executed yell stunts that put such enthusiasm into the rooters that the team was inspired to its great effort.
