We now had sufficient requirements necessary to complete our freshman year and were ready to begin as so-called silly Sophomores. We started our Sophomore year by holding a class meeting and elect- ing Robert Matthews, Oran Kinney, and Ruth Royer as our officers. By this time we felt quite at home with the upper classmen and very important among our fellow-students. With the help of Mrs. Waymire and Mr. Ed- wards we held a more successful party on Hallowe'en, and a picnic later in the year at Owen Park. We chose Dorothy Starnes and Phyllis Finecy as May Queen attendants from our class. We were now ready to begin as jolly Juniors. In our Junior year we got our first experience in the field of financial problems. This time we chose Gene Ramsey, Earl Ashley, Maxine Hart- man, and Ruth Elaine Rodenbeck for our leaders. By selling Xmas wreaths, giving a Junior play, collecting class dues, etc., we held the customary ban- quet in honor of the Seniors. We were aided by Miss Galimore, Mr. Corbin, and Mr. Edwards. At the end of the year we chose Betty Vickrey and Max- ine Hartman as May Queen attendants. Feeling very important, we move forward, looking with great anticipa- tion toward being dignified Seniors. Ruth Elaine Rodenbeck SOPHOMORE A very important looking group of eighty-nine youngsters entered the high school floor of S. H. S. on September 12, 1938. However, under that veneer of arrogance lay an inferior feeling. After a few weeks of becoming acquainted, the Freshies elected Don Bock for president of the class, Merle Richardson vice-president, and Mary Franklin as secretary-treasurer. The meetings were conducted successfully with the aid of Mr. Hubbard and Mrs. Marshall, our class sponsors. During the course of the year we had a Hallowe'en party and a picnic at McCormick's Creek State Park. In the spring we elected Jane Hickam and Charlotte Franklin for May Queen At- tendants. Although we regretfully bade farewell to dear old Spencer High on May 17, 1939, it was with as many tears that we re-entered on September 11, 1939, as Sophomores. Still, there was a cheerful outlook in that we had several new teachers to become accustomed to. This year Owen Franklin was elected president, William Gibson, vice-president, and Juanita Fish, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Hubbard were again our sponsors. We had a Hal1owe'en party and, taking advantage of the year 1940, a Leap Year party. We elected Imogene Brown and Margie Kumpf for May Queen attendants. Looking forward to a year fand we hope no morel as jolly Juniors, we left our Alma Mater with undignified shouts of School's out! Juanita Fish FRESHMAN In the month of September, 1939, about eighty bright-eyed boys and girls wandered in these large halls. Yes, we were all being called Green Freshies. It wasn't long before we were settled and didn't seem to mind the word green any longer. At our first class meeting we elected Dick Lucas, president, John McKay, vice-president, and Jo Ann Pryor, secretary- treasurer. Then with the help of the sponsors, Miss VanHorn, Mr. Smartz, and Mr. Becker, we gave a very successful party. Jo Ann Pryor and Lenore Kinney were chosen for the May Queen Attendants. Except for a few who found some dullspots, we eagerly look forward to the coming year, and are willing to give our seats to another group of Freshies. Jo Ann Pryor
