Fifty-four of us enrolled as freshmen in the fall of 1933, which meant that some thirty boys, against their will, re- ceived a very thorough and undignified hair cut. The other classes gave us a freshman reception in the middle of September. At the end of September after we were all well acquainted, elections were held under the management of Miss Fleming, our superintendent. Billy Eshelman was chosen president, Max Hickman, vice president, Peggy Martin, secretary, and Linden Combes, treasurer. Miss Ethel Seybold was our class adviser. In the month of September, 1934, forty-seven of us returned as full fledged Sophmores. We helped the Juniors and Seniors give the Freshmen reception. Mr. Peterson, now superintendent, directed elections in latter September. The officers were Dean Izatt, presidentg Phyllis Bear, vice president: Peggy Martin, secretaryg and Lyle Harris, treasurer. Class advisers were Miss Ethel Seybold and Mr. Robert Smith. Our letter winners were Verne Sumner and Linden Combes. The autumn of 1935 rolled around with forty-six of us re- turning as Juniors. With the help of Mr. Peterson, elections were held in perfect form. The voting was done in booths 28
