AN EYE TO THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY g AS freshmen of 1930, we entered P. C. H. S. quite unfamiliar with the customs of the high school. After initiation, the sixty-five members of the class elected Peter Larson, president; Alva Burkard, vice-president; Jane Laurence, secretary; and Vernon Orr, treasurer. Our faculty advisers were Miss Shearer and Mr. McConnell. As time went on, we became acquainted with the rules of the school and shared in the activities of the year, such as the stunt show, athletics, glee clubs, band, and debate. During our sophomore year we forgot our timid ways and acquired more courage. Our officers were Arlene Coulter, president; Richard Nelson, vice-president; Wilbur Adkins, secretary; Robert Olson, treasurer. We were advised by Mr. McConnell and Miss Burns. We contributed two new school songs and received the championship in girls’ basketball. Our junior year brought many busy days. Election of officers was, of course, first. Those elected were Alva Burkard, president; Jane Laurence, vice-president; Mildred King, secretary; and Warren Stone, treasurer. The play, “Shirt Sleeves,” presented in November, proved a great success. The losers of the ticket selling contest gave the winners a party. The important event of the year was the buffet supper and dance at the Legion Hut for the seniors. We were advised by Miss Strong and Miss Burns during all of our activities. Our senior year found us sitting on top of the world. We elected Robert Olson, president; James Walker, vice-president ; Viola Carlson, secretary; and Robert Bankson, treasurer. Miss Shearer and Miss Washburn were our faculty advisers. Members of the class participated in football, basketball, track, baseball, and music contests. The Reflector was published. Three members of the class distinguished themselves by being on the honor roll for all four years. They were Jane Laurence, Arlene Coulter, and Wilma Thompson. Those who had athletic letters for three years were Peter Larson and Everett Stine. Activities at the end of the year piled up in a hurry. There was the buffet supper and dance, May 18; Class Day, May 23; the play, “Spooks,” May 25; Baccalaureate, May 27; and Commencement, May 29. And after that, time alone will tell.
