From the beginning of the second semester, we began making preparations for the Junior Prom. The theme for decoration was an enormous rainbow which was skilfully constructed over the sides and ceiling of the gym. The banquet, which was held at the Canoe Place Inn, was followed by dancing at the gym. Needless to say, the Prom was a huge success and enjoyed by Juniors and Seniors alike. The officers for our Junior year were Carlton Carlson and Joseph Tenter as President, Sherman Dickman and Richard Danielson as Vice President, Betty Walter and Louise Hills as Secretary and Joseph Teater and Norman Billingsley as Treasurer. At last we grew to be dignified and serious Seniors. After a few weeks of school, we found ourselves called upon to teach a large class of Sophs their respective place and duties in the high school. After the initiating was over, we felt most kindly toward the Sophomores and led them to the gym, where refreshments were served to them. They were allowed to dance until morning. During Christmas vacation we Seniors attended the annual Alumni Banquet, where we were royally treated to a banquet and dance at Canoe Place Inn. A trip to Washington was decided upon, and the cry, “On to Washington” was heard during the rest of the year. One of the outstanding ways of raising money for the trip was the annual Senior Bazaar. Out- efforts were crowned with success. This bazaar, which was held in the high school gym, was preceded by entertainments both nights, in the auditorium. As Seniors we extend our hearty appreciation to the Sophomore class for the benefit party they gave us, and we are loud in our praise of the Juniors for the magnificent Junior Prom which was held in our honor. Class Night, which will be held June 2, will end our social activities for the year. An eminent member of the faculty has said, “There have been some radically different things done in Port High, and the class of ’32 has done them.” And now, we will be graduated and we feel confident that each member of the class of ’32 will go out into the world and make a name for himself. So ends the history of the class of ’32, and though greater classes have been graduated before us and many will be graduated after us, w«, as the class of ’32 can truthfully say we have done our best. “With all your gettings therefore get, An education true. It will be A crown with Jewels set, A power to each of you. “And now as the swift descending sun Proclaims the time is here, Good-by each and everyone Farewell, my Classmates dear.”
