Pm a tranger Here, My elf N YOUR mark! Get set! Go! And-to further employ the vernacular of the Cinder artists, -the yearling cubs, offspring of O.H.S.'s black bear, Old Pepper, ffreshmen to the general publicj warmed up to the task of taking a lap around a school year crammed with activities and social affairs to the tunes of the latest hit-numbers at the soph-frosh mixer held in the gym in the early part of the year. At one of the first assemblies the youngsters literally jumped the gun and certainly shook a little school spirit into the students as a whole by a spontaneous session of yells directed and supervised by their spunky, diminutive yell leader, Dale Hume. They ran an outstanding race throughout the year. Some of their classmates won considerable attention because of their special musical talents, some even made themselves felt in the stiff competition of major sports, and some ex- celled scholastically, And to round the year out, they finished the first lap of their four-year journey with a surprising sprint that came in the form of a well-balanced, well- directed class assembly. Yes sir. The peppy, clear-eyed shelf dwellers sailed neat- ly over the hurdle of first year problems and terrors, cleared the Lack of Spirit puddle, refused to be cowed by the fact that freshmen are always the butt of the school's fun- niest jokes-and when the race was over they were right up with the leaders.

Top pictures were taken in the beautiful sunken gardens on the Capitol grounds. These organizations did much to help their school throughout the year. ln the Field ei Service INTO oblivion has gone a memorable and versatile girls auxiliary. Their Mothers tea was held in November, with a Thanksgiving motif. The romantic month, February, was taken care of by a Valentine party, the ninth grade girls of Washington Junior high school being invited to attend. The auxiliary had meet- ings on an average of once a month. Dorothy Ann Steen was president, Jean Malloy vice president, Bonita Owre secre- tary. Il: Pk S-' Busy as the proverbial bees, and with plenty to keep them humming, the girls club and officers had a busy 1938-39. The benevolent big sisters took their lesser colleagues in hand early in the year and gave them their first taste of high school life at a party in the gym. With the coming of Thanksgiving, the girls helped charity along by preparing baskets of food for needy families. They forfeited a gavel to the boys club when they were defeated in the contest to see who could get the rnost pennies in the yearly penny drive, the profits of which went to the Jingle club. The tolo was one of the top ranking dances of the year, Harold Teen and his friends being the invisible guests and providing a theme. The Mothers tea also was an event gallantly given. Queen bee and president was Katherine Brown: vice president, Dorothy Davisg secretary, .Teane Lindbergg treasurer, Hyla Yelle. Carrying on their business, making Dads night a success, representing Olympia at the Southwest Washington boys club conference, and absorbing all the work possible were but a few things that made the boys club board of control an above average group. s as sf April 4 marked the biggest event of the Hi-Y year when all loyal-members of the club were dancing or frequenting the punch bowl at the Hotel Olympian ballroom. There were swimming, contests and eats at the annual picnic, which took place at Bronson's resort on Offut lake. An exciting and joyous time was had by all the girls and their masculine escorts. A joint meeting with Hoquiam Hi-Y was also an out- standing event of the club's activities. Officers were Garrild Matters, president, Dick Dodge, vice presidentg Lawrence Turnbull, secretary, and Ray Dinsmore, treasurer. J. H. Bohle, school vice principal, was adviser of the organization. Pk Pk Sl: Being absorbed by the boys club as a branch organization, the Knights of the Oyster started the year with many pro- jects in mind, most of which were carried out. The K. O.'s did not believe in the slogan, All brain and no brawn g they combined the two. Ronald Paul, chairman of the group, led the Oysters to further heights by the inspiration he passed on to fellow members.
