E erving as first semester officers for the 1938 Graduat- ing Class were Eckert Clopper, Martha Lee Turley,Ber- nice Elliott, Bill Crawford, and Gladys Kofahl, president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and social chairman. Plans for get-togethers, variety assemblies, and a more united class feeling were arranged. From this class of students, eight members were selected by the J. C. coun- cil to help revise the Junior College constitution, so that it would be more flexible and elastic for future use. In order to make a more friendly feeling among the stu- dents, a get-together was held at the beginning of the se- mester, and later a dance was put on. All plans could not be carried out but not because of unusued energy. E1 C K C L 0 P P E R Alpha Gamma Sigma 1, 2, Pres. 1, 23 Zeta Sig- ma Pi 2: Golf 1, 2: Hi- .

M. S. has since grown to be an integral part of the junior college and now plays an im- portant part in school functions and student government. In the first semester little was done in the way of active participation in campus life. Several meetings were held at which plans for a steak bake, an A. M. S. party, and other activities were discussedg however, interfering functions of other organizations made these impossible. Aid and support was given to a junior college party. Officers for the opening semester were Jerry Williams, president, Gould van Stone, vice-president, John Lavelle, secretary, Charles Simons, treasurer. SECOND SEMESTER PREXY GOULD VAN STONE and Secre- tary Johnny Lavele are chinning over the big prom which is to come off the last part of May. It looks as if they have finally reached a decision as to whether stags are to be admitted or not. Ontinuing their activities in the Note: they werent second semester, the A. M. S. spon- sored a dance held in the gymnasium. Sillfle Jerry Williams, former presi- dent, had been elected to serve as president for the Associated Student Body, Gould van Stone moved up to the vacated position.

YJ4,,.44ll tarting out with the idea of beginning a plan for a separate Junior College, the second semester officers, Paul Lynch, Mar- vel Hopkins, Martha Lee Turley, and Lem mie McClain, president, vice-president, sec retarv, and treasurer respectively, paved the way. They immediately started plan- ning on separate commencement exercises which will be held an evening after the high school services. The first class day ever held in Junior College was held and proved a great success. Extensive plans for a sophomore ditch day were arranged and carried out with a large number of students ill attendance. The 4'0ld Clothes day went over with a ubangw as usual, and many meetings were held to get student opinions on the class problems and plans. To finish up the year right, the graduates were excused from school a week early in order to celebrate their mental victories. s raduates E L E A N 0 R E N G Derrick Staff 1, 25 Alpha Gamma Sigma 1, JAMES N.
