Away back in January, 1937, when this class entered senior high school, they were surprised and a little disappointed to find that the class was the first class to be in Oceanside Junior High School for three years. Before, c1 asses had been two years in junior high and four years in senior high school. During their freshman year they became better acquainted at the Freshman party. In 1938 they became 'gay young sophomores.' Their first big affair during that year was the Sophomore party held in the new gymnasium. Records of the junior year show quite a bit of inactivity. We call it the proverbial calm before the storm for they really progressed at cyclone speed during their last year in high school. The first thing done as seniors wastoelect class officers for the year. Ira Greenwald filled competently the position of president with George Glier as vice-president. Jane Cleary spent her leisu e moments inwriting the minutes of the many class meetings, and Madeleine Park was usually heard asking the class if anyone intended to pay their dues. Besides sponsoring several teadances and selling magic slates they sold candy at many football games. The class had the privilege of sponsoring two important dances during the year; namely, the Coronation Dance and the Senior Bail. When they took over the teachers' positions on Senior Day a good timewas had by a 1 1 . The Kay Kyser program on class night will be a memorable occasion to every member of the class. The feminine hal f of the class ‘took over the General Organization dur. ing the last half year. Madeleine Park was vice-president, Marion Park, secretary, and Susan Bay1 is, treasurer. When averages had been computed Janice Blanclc and Pauline Hansalik were acknowledged as the brains of the class, respectively. JANICE BLANCK Jan is that dark, reserved girl whom you often saw around Ocean side's halls. Valedictorian of her class, she was a member of the National Honor Society, the Press Club and the Student Coun cil. Jan also participated in sports, being a member of the badminton, ping pong and tennis teams. PAULINE HANSALIK Besides being salutatorian of the class, Polly was quite active in extra curricular activities. She was a member of the German Club, the Forum Club,the Glee Club, and the Press Club.
