JUNIOR CLASS I-IISTGRY It was on a bright September morning in 1932 that the members of the Class of '36 first entered the Princeton Township High School as students. These students not only proved to be- talented, but they also led the student body in scholastic ability. As soon as they had become acquainted with the habits of the school, they were called together by Mr. Shaffer, the principal, for their first class meeting. Under the guidance of Miss Finfgeld, Mr. Mortensen, and the just mentioned principal, they chose their class officers for their first year. These leaders were John Bouxsein, President, Roy, Campbell, Vice President, Charles Alpaugh, Secretary, Gemma Pieri, Treasurer. Soon after' the election, the officers of the Class of '36 met and planned a party which turned outito be a huge success, for at this party many new ac- quaintances were made. Then again as the last days of school were waning, a picnic was held at the Alexander Park. , The summer of '33 was a sorrowful one, for two beloved fellow students passed on into the other world. These students were very popular and their passing was mourned by many. One was Kimball Larson, a very talented boy, and the other was Gilbert Hassler who had a smile for everyone. The next year at P. H. S. found the Sophomores a more dignified and experienced group. They had weathered the first year and were ready to- start the second with the same enthusiasm which was characteristic of them. Their leaders were, Virgil Kasbeer, President, Roy Campbell, Vice President, Santry Fuller, Secretary, and Jane Nordholm, Treasurer. It was during this year that much of the hidden talent was exposed. Gene Aldrich earned a letter in track and a minor letter in football, while John Bouxsein participated in varsity basketball games. George McManis also distinguished himself in track. But the girls were not to be outdone, and a few ambitious ones displayed their dramatic ability in the One Act Plays. Betty Mortensen, Nelda Hoover, Jane Nordhiolm and Jane Coulter took part in this annual event. But the great event of the Sophomore year was also a greatbsuccess. The Sopho- more Banquet, where all Sophomores act like Seniors. VVhe,n theithird year rolled around, the Class of '36 found themselves Juniors. They were no, longer under-classmen. They were now dignified upper-classmen. The Class officers were, Santry Fuller, President, Roy Campbell, Vice President, Gemma Pieri, Secretary, James Cowley, Treasurer. This was a gay and busy year. At thc Junior-Senior reception, the Juniors dis- covered that they could be classed as equal to the Seniors, and many proved this in both athletics and dramatics. The football lettermen were Robert Harris, Roy Campbell, George Jennings, Max Morel, John Bouxsein, Jack Nickelson, and Captain- elect Gene Aldrich. While in basketball Gene Aldrich, John Bouxsein and Captain- elect Roy Campbell are the lettermen. The annual Junior play, The Love Expert , was also a big success. The cast was composed of Eugene Walters, George McManis, Jane Nordholm, Nelda Hoover, Merrill Jackson, George Steele, Gemma Pieri, Charles Schultz, Maxine Erickson, and Doris Crandell. Betty Mortensen, Marjorie Kopp and Alice Schwab represented the school in the Declamation Contests. The Junior Class is also represented on the News Staff. These future scribes are Paul Haberkorn, Roy Campbell, Walter Carlson, Betty Mortensen, and John Bouxsein. The Senior Class picked Robert Washburn and Roger Pierson as Junior business managers for the Tiger , Last year it was the banquet that gavei the Class of '36 a chance to act dignified. Now this year it was the Junior-Senior Prom. The Juniors worked diligently with the Seniors to help make the Prom the most glamorous event of the whole year. There was also a successful Junior-Senior Picnic held. As the last days of the school ap- proached, the Juniors began to realize that next year they would be Seniors. They had gone through three years of school successfully, and they were now prepared to put the finishing touches on their high school education.
