On September 2, 70 juniors returned to school once more to resume their education. The following officers were elected: president, Ben Johnson; vice-president, William Burklund; secretary, Lillian Tappan; treasurer, Jack Ireland. Our Student Council representatives were Lois Hall and Robert Watts. Jack Ireland was vice-president of the Student Council. The football lettermen of the junior class were Robert Gustafson, William Scott, Ronald Sivill, and Robert McCabe. Jack Ireland was the football manager. Our class advisers were Miss Cocking and Mrs. McCarty. November 17 was a red letter day for the junior class for that was the day the play, “Sixteen in August,” was presented in the high school auditorium. Miss Cocking directed the play, and she was assisted by Mrs. McCarty. It was a great success. The climax of the school year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 15.

 This is the second time in the history of P. C. H. S. that a newspaper has been published entirely by the school. In 1930-1933, a school paper, known as The P. C. H. S. Record, was printed by Stevens Printing Company. Everything involved in producing the new paper is done in the school—that is, the articles are written by the staff, the stencils are cut, and the mimeographing is done in the school building. The cover of the paper is prepared by Wildon Metz. In choosing a name for this school paper, the students were given an opportunity to submit names. The one chosen was suggested by Stanley Peterson. Subscription fees cover the cost of publication for the most part; however, the school helped in the initial expenses. The subscription cost is twenty cents per semester or thirty-five cents a year. The newspaper work offers many opportunities for those who are interested in running a mimeograph, cutting stencils, and general newspaper work. Anyone qualified may be on the staff. Those entitled to literary letters because of the position they fill capably are: editor, assistant editor, typists, mimeograph operators, circulation manager, and art editor. Any other member of the staff or any student writing fifteen articles that are published in the school paper may also receive a letter. Some of the favorite columns this year were “What’s Doing,” the traditional “Meet Your Seniors,” “Tid-Bits (mostly here and not all there),” and “Can You Imagine?” We have reproduced some of these columns on the following page. The members of the first BLUE AND GOLD staff were: editor, Dorothy Anderson; assistant editor, Evelyn Weidner; circulation manager, Mary Elizabeth Eagan; sports, Bob Lateer; art and F. F. A., Wildon Metz; feature writers, Peggy Carl-sten, Joan Archer, and Lorraine Holverson; typists, Doris Swanfelt, Frances Salvage, Patricia Fuller, and Maxine Kirsche; mimeograph operators, Barbara Thilmony and Ella Mae Stanford. Congratulations to the BLUE AND GOLD staff!!!!
