'With a membership of seventy-seven students enrolled in the class it is the largest Senior class ever to enter in Post High School.

Hence our motto: 'The Biggest and the Bestf' The Seniors selected as the class uniforms blue shirts for the boys and blue dresses for the girls. On the backs of the uniforms Seniors '39 was written. The class ring was a red diamond cut ruby set in a natural gold mounting. On one side Courage, Knowledge, and Service were engraved, on the other, Truth, Honor, and Loyalty. To raise funds for the treasury, the Seniors have sponsored several events. In the early fall, rummage sales were held in town on Saturdays. On November 28, a dance to which everyone was invited to attend was held in the American Legion Hall.
