 REV LEA TOR d SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of the year 1929, there were sixty-four green freshmen who entered P. C. H. S'. After initiation class officers were elected. They were Kenneth Paulson, president; Virgil Evans, vice-president; Cleo Ramshaw, secretary; and Carl Anderson, treasurer. Our faculty advisers were Mrs. Richmond and Mr. Scott. As the days sped by, our knowledge increased and we became accustomed to the routine of high school. About the first of April we surprised the upper classmen by winning the Stunt Show prize with “Dancing Dominoes.” During the year several picnics were enjoyed. During the second year, the class lost some of their bashfulness and adopted the bold, bad ways of the upper classmen. The president this year was Lloyd Stubbins; vice-president, Jack Hutchison; secretary, Harriet Hill; and treasurer, Frances Swenson. Mr. Scott and Miss McCoy were our advisers. As sophomores we entered into many activities of the school. We took part in the Stunt Show, enjoyed several picnics, and tied the juniors for first place in girls’ basketball. We had three representatives on both the debate team and paper staff, as well as two lettermen in athletics. For the junior year Carl Anderson was elected to head the class. Louise Weidner was chosen as vice-president; Hilda Peterson, secretary; and Jack Hutchison, treasurer. During this year we led a busy life. In the fall the class put on the play, “The Worm,” which proved to be a great success. As juniors we were the proud winners of the Student Council contest which was instituted to further scholarship and school spirit. The boys were awarded first place in boys’ basketball, and the girls tied for first with the sophomores. The class was again well represented in debate, paper staff, football, basketball, track, and honor roll. “Noah’s Ark,” in which we, as animals, let out some of our surplus energy, carried off first prize in the Stunt Show. The main event of the year was the junior-senior banquet and dance which was held at the Middlecoff Hotel and Legion Hut. Through all the activities of the year we were advised by Miss Bear and Miss Babcock. In our senior year we took a new lease on life because of the knowledge we had so painfully acquired in the years preceding. By now our number had dwindled to fifty-two dignified seniors. Lloyd Stubbins was chosen as president of the class, John O’Hare as vice-president, Marguerite Martin as secretary, and Evelyn Bloomquist as treasurer. During the year we reorganized the Student Council into a permanent organization and published the Reflector. Many members of the class participated in football, basketball, track, and various music contests. Events of importance at the close of the second semester were the junior-senior party, May 13; Class Day, May 17; the senior play, “Tons of Money,” May 23; Baccalaureate, May 21; and Commencement, May 26. The Class of 1933 takes sad leave of P. C. H. S. feeling that they have gained much while there and hoping they have done their share in bettering the school.
