Senior Class History Gordon Franklin Harry Carpenter Bob Strang Bob Ake Phyllis Petty Anne Madsen Dick Fry Curtain going up. Curtain going up. The lights are dimmed and another four-act play entitled “High School Life” began. The first semester the students elected Ray Rigmaiden as president. The secretary was Heng Chan who thereby started the class annuals that lasted for four years. The second semester arrived with Gordon Franklin to take over the job of president, and his secretary and treasurer was named Doris Stanley. The curtain falls as these officers prepare to release their offices to their successors. The curtain soon raises again on a new and different scene-The Sophomore Year. Jack McKillop was elected president and his assistants were Mildred Hughey, acting as secretary and treasurer, and Dick Fry as the man behind the scenes in the role of vice-president. Gordon Franklin quietly carried on as executive committee member and did it so quietly that he remained on the job during the second semester. The second semester arrived shortly and the class responded by electing Bob Ake as president. Tine Van Duzer was vice-president and Vyola Ross cast a watchful eye over the books of the secretary and treasurer. So the curtain falls again. It raises soon again, however, on a very seasoned troup of players—The Upper Classmen. The junior class made history by electing the first girl president, Betty Jane Toland. Her co-workers were Johnny Aicega, vice-president. Alice Mae Beebe, secretary and treasurer, and Heng Chan, executive committee member. So th4 curtain drops again on a contented and happy class. The curtain rises again, but, alas, for the last time. Our bewildered freshman have reached the pinnacle. They are seniors. In the first semester the class was held together by the efforts of Gordon Franklin, as president, Phyllis Petty, secretary and treasurer, Harry Carpenter, vice-president, and Dick Fry, executive committee member. In the second semester, the work of the previous half was continued. Bob Strang was elected president: Anne Madsen was named secretary and treasurer, and Bob Ake and Dick Fry served as vice-president and executive committee member, respectively. The last memories to store away were the banquet and dance, and not to be forgotten were the graduation excercises and Baccalaureate service.
