These officers carried on the business of the class under the sponsorship 'cf Miss Adkins. Carol Jeanne Cole brought honor to the Freshman class by winning first in vocal sc-lo at the music contest. In 1937 this group again entered the school. They were no longer green freshmen but Sophcimores. They elected as their officers: La-wrence Minor, President, Bill Davis, Vice-president: Richard Stratemeier, 'Secretary-Treasurer. The outstanding event of th-at year was the class wiener roast at Swope Park which is well remembered by all. Mr. Merlin Warehime was the class sponsor.

'940 V Junmn cmss Hlsmnv The year 1939-1940 has been a memorable one in the history of Raytown High School. Striving its best to make it so and contributing no small part to the school's success, the Junifr class has been outstanding in all phases of school activity, both cur- ricular and extra-curricular. Perhaps this prominence has been due to the efficient handling of the Class of '4l by our capable officers-President Robert Stokes, Secre- tary Robert Kraas, Treasurer Mary Helen lSullivan, and Vice-president Roy Anderson. . V1 The Junior play, acclaimed a success by all critics, had a talented cast, which in- neth Farrand, Bob Kraas, John Cfcx, Maury Newton, John Pfeiffer, and Dorothy Rice. clued such names as Alfred Brandt, Lucille Bro-wn, Dorothy Bue, Mildred Clark, Ken- The field of sports found the ciass well represented. Anderson, Deho-ney, Pfeiffer, Cecil Shelton, Jack Shelton, Stillwell, Stokes, Stokley, and Winters were among the stal- warts on the football squad. Basketbal found Bosse, Crow, Farand, George, Kraas, Cecil Slhelton and Wittmeyer reporting. Many of these same boys later found a position on the track squad. Baseball ca-me in the spring and with baseball came a number of fel- lows desiring to play. Farrand, George, Hensley, Pfeiffer, Cecil Shelton, Stokley and Winters all found their places on the squad. Kraas and Cox were headliners on the ten- nis team. Not only were the boys well represented in sports, but also the igirls. Allen, Conway, Newton, Sullivan, M. Vance, and W. Vance were all members of our Little Six Conference basketball champions. r At this point, it might be well to add that John Pfeiffer, Alfred Brandt, Bonnie Wil- liams, Mary Newton, John Cox, Mae Elwyn Hall, Marion Conway, and Bob Kraas were on the Rayflector staff. The musifc department-band, orchestra, chorus, and glee club inclusive-included many Juniors too numerous to mention, however, they all did exceflent work and de- se1've much praise. Among the outstanding students in this field, Causby Cole attracts attention for his talented and diligent efforts. In conclusion, let us say that limited space prevented a mc-re conrpiete list. We wish, though, to commend the work done by Junior class members in the Girl Reserve, Pep Squad, Prom committee, Operetta, All-chool play, Deciamation, Debate team, Theta Kappa Theta, and various representatives at Warrensburg.

The high and mighty Seniors soon toik it upon themselves to teach the helpless Freshies a few essential of high school life. The .Seniors initiated the freshmen rather severely. Having been tamed to a certain extent, the following officers were elected, with Mrs. Fegert and Mr. Cooper as sponsors, president, Vincent Riegerg vice-president, Kenneth Halbert, secretary, Betty Lou Hicks, treasurer, Micky Banes. Since entering high school, the class has achieved prominence in several Ways. On April 23rd, our class presented the student body with a freshman assembly. In this as- sembly there were two skits, as well as band and solo events. There were seventeen freshmen girls in the Girls' Glee Club, and seven freshmen in the Boys' Glee Club. The freshmen members of the Pep Squad numbered three this year. In the high school orchestra there are four freshmen whife there are twelve fresh- men in the high school band. Errol Nine Huffman and Vincent Reiger are eligible for the Columbia state music contests. Rose Schwab, Doris Barton, and Catherine Kroencke mad-e the basketball squad.

Grim, Martha Nlyquist, Margaret Pence, Lenor Strup, Barbara Bouse, and B-etty Davidson. , We are la-lso glad to state that Barbara Glover received honorable mention in the National Essay Contest sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of the For- eign Wars. n Irr a beauty contest held to choose the Queen of the Ramizzou, Margaret Pence won third place. Among the Girl Reserve cabinet members for next year 'are found the names of Jewel D. Sides, Jean Cole, Rosalie Grim and Nancy Shelton.
