7?0w14 Senior Class History S we members of the class of i942 look back on the four years that we have iust completed, we are able to recognize many changes, both in ourselves as individuals and in our class as a whole. ln September of 1938 we more or less obsequiously entered the door and climbed up to our third-floor lockers counting every flight of steps so that we wouldn't find ourselves on the mythical roof garden. That first semester was spent learning as much about routine as about algebra, lit., and civics. We became familiar with assemblies, gym, study hall, blue slips, pink slips and green slips. We held only one election for class officers that year and chose Herb Robin- son, Phyllis Cochrane, Pat Ryan, Dot Wilson and Bertha Schreiber. One mixer was ours-it took place in the spring when we had become a little more sure of our standing. Confident of ourselves and our friends, we returned the next year and were surprised at the number of people to whom we said hello. We sponsored a show, Dawn Patrol, putting on intermission acts, with strictly sophomore talent. Our friends' names began to appear more often on the second and third pages of The Kuay. Sometimes they rated a whole paragraph instead of being confined to a mere sentence. ln the fall we made the following our officers: Herb Robinson, Dot Wilson, Betty Johnson, Jack O'Brien and Judy Smythe. For the second semester of our second year we chose Herb Robinson, Pete Apostolou, Judy Smythe, George Jeffs and Dot Gamble. NWhen, at last, we became upper-classmen, we began to show our versatility, we gave the seniors ahead of us competition in every extracurricular activity. A

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS BETTY JOHNSON JOHN SHAW JEAN BEEGLE TOM TUPPER We elected Johnny Siemens, Dorothy Wilson, Herb Robinson, Bette Jane Coch- ran and Norm Amundson as our fall officers. We planned a Halloween mixer, and our members began to get the leads in the productions. In the spring we chose Johnny Siemens, Judy Smythe, Norm Amundson, George Shanafelt and Bette Jane Cochran to represent us. Many of our friends were on the athletic teams. We sponsored a junior day with a lunch and an assembly. With the election of Johnny Siemens, Dot Wilson, Fred Hahn, Art Soderberg and Ed Klotz, our last year began. We went to every football game, we began to talk to our teachers after class now and then on other subiects than Why my grade is as low as it is, we chose a senior pin designed by Beulah Meacham. A very definite interruption came into our life when the war was entered in December. School faded, for a few weeks, into insignificance and the twenty-week tests we were studying for were neglected with iust cause. After a time, however, a more or less normal state of affairs was established, we could not cease becoming educated to act as bystanders. We gave a senior play that was different and were proud of the seniors who contributed to its success . . . a paper drive was held and for two days we carried and watched others carry papers to school . . . we welcomed, in our sedate way, the mid-year frosh, and watched some of our friends leave . . . we elected a ski queen . . .we noticed the approach of June and graduation. For the last semester of our last year we chose as officers Johnny Siemens, Art Soderberg, Dot Wilson, Norm Amundson and George Jasny. We chose as speakers at Commencement Betty Johnson and John Shaw. We applauded when the Soukup Award was given Betty Johnson and Norm Amundson. To Kenneth Campbell, Julius Hoverson and P. J. Eaton, our adviser and our counselors, we can only express our inadequate thanks for their patience and understanding. And now that day in June is imminent, the end of a very definite period in our lives is near. The final and most impressive of all our high school endeavors, Com- mencement, is at hand. - TOM TUPPER TEN HIGHEST SCHOLASTICALLY-Jean Beegle, Ruth Gordon, Bill Beery, George Jasny, George Jeffs, Frank Pennington, Tom Tupper, George Shanafelt, Betty Johnson.
