CLASSES HIELDS Junior and Senior High School is organized on the Jy2-4 plan. Any student who has completed eight grades of school may enter senior high as a freshman. If he earns eight credits in the freshman year, he becomes a sophomore. To become a junior he must have earned a total of sixteen or more credits during the preceding two years, and to become a senior, he must have earned at least twenty-four credits in his first three years in high school. The 1939 Freshman Class was the largest in the history of the school. Two hundred and one students enrolled at the beginning of the first semester and one hundred and eighty-six completed the school year. The sophomore class numbered one hundred ninety-eight at the close of its freshman year, but had only one hundred and seventy-one at the close of this year. As freshmen, the present junior class was larger than any other freshman class in Shields’ history. It had an enrollment of one hun- dred and ninety-nine students. The class now numbers one hundred and forty-eight. During the four years in high school the Class of 1940 lost sixty- one of its members, thus having an enrollment of one hundred and seventeen completing the four year course. When students become juniors, they organize as a class to carry on various activities: choose class rings, present a class play, and sponsor the junior-senior reception. This year the class elected the following officers: president, Dan Guinnup; vice-president, Toms Graessle; secretary, Martha Eggers; treasurer, Ingleby Rapp. The seniors choose the following officers: president, Tom Tracy; vice-president, Robert Henderson; secretary, Leroy Hodapp; treasurer, Albert Steinwedcl.
