Juniors The juniors, traditionally supposed to be the peppiest class in school, started school in the fall of ’34 without so much of that same pep. They were then bashful little freshmen. Under the direction of Miss Gracen, their adviser, they began to gain confidence in themselves, and held the usual freshman picnic. They were well on their way to attaining this pep as sophomores. As juniors they gave vent to their enthusiasm in several ways. They proved that they had it by presenting the play Skidding, which was a great success. They also produced some leaders in the regular school work and in extracurricular activities. Their officers for the junior year were James Dunnan, president; Arlene Swanson, vice-president; Lucille Ryberg, secretary; Robert Kirsche, treasurer. Their delegates to the student council were Pearl Sullivan and Arthur Patton. Miss Swinford and Miss McKnight were their class advisers. To close the year, the juniors sponsored the junior-senior banquet.

Sophomores The sophomores are usually conspicuous by being so inconspicuous. The sophomores got their start in the fall of 1935 with the traditional ceremonies. They were like the usual freshman class, but with Miss Gracen’s help soon became accustomed to high school life. During their first year they held the annual freshman picnic. In this, their second year, under Miss Strong’s sponsorship they have given every indication of making the class of ’39 an outstanding group. In athletics, the extracurricular activities, and regular school work, they have produced some leaders. As a class they have showed outstanding school spirit and loyalty. The annual picnic was held at Foster’s. As officers they appointed the following: Max Sullivan, president; Raymond Burklund, vice-president; Dorothy Bankson, secretary; and Winifred Reep, treasurer. John Cornelison and Mary Anderson served as their student council representatives. 1
