JOHN JACK DEAN JUNE PERKINS LeROY KOLIN HAROLD ELY For maintaining throughout their high school years the highest scholastic records. five seniors have merited a special honor. Warren St. John leads the class of '39, having earned the highest scholastic average for four years. Second is Jack Dean: third, June Perkinsg fourth, LeRoy Kolin: fifth, Harold Ely. All five of these students have served the school well through Safety Patrol, band, orchestra, class offices, and assistance to teachers. Warren and Jack have followed the academic curriculum, both 'being interested in science. Jack expects to become a research chemist: Warren would like to go to West Point. Photography is Warren's hobby: science, Jack's. Having taken a commercial course, June intends to be an expert stenographer. She thinks typing and shorthand are worthwhile subjects and has made actual use of them this semester by doing stenographic work in the County Page thirteen Welfare office. For LeRoy Latin has proved a most worthwhile sub- ject. Music, of course, is his hobby. When he enters the University of Michigan this September, he will follow an engineering course. Another chemistry enthusiast is Harold Ely, who selects chemistry as his most valuable high school subject and who intends to become a chemist after graduating from college. For numerous reasons the faculty voted this year to do away with naming a valedictorian and a salutatorian as such, the titles being derived from an old custom of having these two persons give addresses on the night of commencement. Since such a custom is no longer observed in 'Sault High, since the faculty believe the choice of the four or five highest is fairer and more elastic, since the number of seniors given scholastic honor can be extended when two persons are tied in percentages, this new system was adopted.

Grads' Master Mind Counsellors of '39 As members of the class of '39 look back over their years of high school. they can remember four years of efficient class management with each accomplishment skill- fully executed. For these they are indebted to Mr. Alfred Davis, class adviser since IQ36. Mr. Davis believed in beginning early on work to be done although he always gave students a free hand in the planning. giving words of advice only when they were necessary to make easier work. His efforts have continually been directed towards a more efficient class government by class members, not by senior home room teachers, and the times that these instructors have been called upon for help have been exceedingly few. Not only as senior adviser is Mr. Davis's influence felt, but as a mem- ber of numerous faculty committees-- guidance, honors, student elections, curriculum study, P.T.A. convention. Outside of the local system he is a member of the Depart- ment of Public Instruction Curriculum Consultant group and is a delegate from Chippewa County to the M.E.A. Mr. Alfred Davis 'l9's adviser holds a B.A. degree from Northern State Teachers' College and an M.A. degree from the University of Michigan. Reading, camping, hiking. golf, and tennis keep him busy outside of school. This summer he will spend in a trip through the Middle West and in vacationing at his cabin at the Hiawatha Club. EDWARD HONKANEN. adviser of room M. senior boys. has coached the class cagers through their second consecu- tive year as class basketball champions. He has just finished a most successful year as school safety director and has served as a member of the honors committee. Outside of school he hunts, fishes. works in his home shop, and referees basketball games. He hopes to study at the University of Michigan this summer. Mr. Honkanen is a graduate of Northern State Teachers' College and has continued study in the U. of M. extension courses. FERN SNYDER, adviser to room l girls, has been inter- ested chiefly in speech and assembly activities. ln her leisure time she studies music and sings in the Presbyterian choir. A member of the Sault Little Theater group, she is also interested in dramatics. Her outdoor activities include hik- ing and tennis. A graduate of Western State Teachers' College, Miss Snyder has also done work at the University of Chicago. She hopes to spend the summer in attending summer school or in travel. AGNES SOLVSBERG, as adviser to room lO girls, has played an important role in the activities of '39. For ex- cellent directing of class plays, for her part in the super- vision of speech work and the Speech Club, the seniors owe her a vote of thanks. Her room has led in all class affairs, in selling tickets and promoting class projects. As hobbies. Miss Solvsberg has a keen interest in the Little Theater, in reading, and in golf. Page fourteen
