FROM SERENE SOPHOMORES— In their freshman year this “lively bunch of girls and boys” was ably advised by Miss Maude Gracen. With her assistance they elected John Campbell, president; Robert Kirsche, vice-president; Arlene Swanson, secretary; and Betty Carlson, treasurer. On October 16, 1934, the class of 1938 enjoyed a picnic at Foster's timber and repeated the happy occasion in May, 1935. This year, the second milestone on their road to seniordom, found them under the guidance of Miss Helen Sanner and Miss Jeannette Kresler. As Student Council members, they elected Virginia Stremme and James Magnuson. Marvin Swanson, a sophomore, was secretary and treasurer of that organization.

A GIST OF THE JUNIOR CLASS— This dignified group of young men and ladies entered upon their high school careers as frivolous freshmen “way back in ’33“ and were advised by Miss Maude Gracen and led by Ralph Flora as president, Roy Larson as vice-president, Shirley Apland as secretary, and Virginia Froyd as treasurer. They enjoyed two class picnics, one at Foster’s timber and the other at Kemp’s. They also contributed a program to the Friday morning assembly. Their officers as sophomores were Clyde Van Antwerp, president; Cecil Reehl, vice-president; Elsie Brock, secretary; and Margaret Brunton, treasurer. Mrs. Lily McConnell and Miss Dorothy White were their advisers. In the year just passed, the juniors were advised by Miss Marjorie Strong, who directed their class play, Xew Fires, in the fall, and Miss Mary Holme, who was in charge of the dramatic clubs, debate, literary contestants, and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Martha Apland and Nobel Skonberg were representatives to the Student Council with Virginia Froyd serving as vice-president of that body. They brought their school year to a close by entertaining the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet on May 15.

TO FROTHY FRESHMEN— A potential senior class of ’39 endured the usual green-ribbon, kneeling, and verse-speaking-at-the-dcor ordeal for a matter of some three days and emerged full fledged members of P. C. H. S. in the fall of 1935. Miss Maude Gracen, assistant principal and adviser of this class, started the ball rolling by aiding the new recruits in the selection of class officers. The freshmen also participated in various extra-curricular activities, such as the Student Council to which, as class representatives, they sent Betty Ryan and Joe Ashley. FRESHMEN
