The result of the election was Harold McDaniels, president, Frank Deger, vice president, Charlotte Graham, secretary. The first dance was held in May in the study hall of the high school. Don Campbe11's orchestra provided the entertainment. Class rings were selected later in the year. The following were on the ring committee: Harold McDaniel, Frank Deger, Leona Campbell, Joseph Montich, Doris Wadsworth and Charlotte Graham. This event ended the year as sophomores.
