WILDCAT JUNIOR BRGADCAST Class Flower, American Rose Class Colors, Red and Silver Motto, Building for Character not for Fame Station J. R. C. broadcasting on a frequency of 1940 kilocycles, presents for your entertainment a series of News Chats, originating in the studios. of Union High School. Announcing this program for our genial sponsor Mr. Fasig, is none other than President Dale McOmber, assisted by Vice President Mildred Thompson, Secretary Eleanor Dumar, and Treasurer Gerald Reid. Miss Thompson now takes you behind the scenes in Junior life, Miss Thompson! Greetings, Annual listeners! Since my last chat with you our number has decreased from seventeen to sixteen. Early in the fall We opened our social season with a party, later a Christmas party, and then in March the graceful girls with the gallant lads in the class for partners took to the floor of the Y. W. C. A., on skates. What parties do to finances is a long story. To help finance the Junior- Senior banquet honoring the no-ble Seniors, we sold pop-corn at the basket- ball games. We wish to thank our patrons. Late in January we searched for a memento which might, in years to come remind us of our successful broadcast. At last a gracefully designed ring, bearing the station of our broadcast, U. H. S., was selected and purch- ased by every member. Our greatest thrill was the presentation of This Night Beware, includ- ing a cast of 12 characters. In addition we all participated in various activi- ties, sports, fellowship, music, and faced them bravely. Next year listen in again-same time, same station-for the latest bulletin of Junior life. Mildred Thompson

WILDCAT SOPHCMORE FLIGHT On Monday September 13, 1939, a group of sixteen carefree Sophomores piled out of orange buses flooking strangely like schoolbusesl, into a waiting green and silver tri-motor passenger plane which glistened in the brilliant sunlight like a huge bird. Joyously we boarded the huge monster. Miss Sheley, our sponsor, saw to it that our motors were soon humming and we started off in grand manner, with our president Anna Kathryn Baer as pilot, Vice-President Robert McCoy at the controls and Secretary-Treasurer Beryl Grubaugh as radio operator. Toward the last of Sep-tember we swooped down from the heavens with a perfect landing and picked up a new pas- senger, Margaret Oberster. Our plane was refueled, our motors looked over and again we went zooming into the distance in the same grand style as the first. At dawn, October 16, an eventful day was born. We landed in our radio operator's pasture and gave the Freshman a jolly initiation into the high school. The next day we resumed our flight. On December 19, we landed for an evening of polishing the floor of a skating rink. fthis is called skating for somej. Then we resumed our so far perfect flight. But into each life a little rain must fall, and towards the last of December a huge black cloud loomed oin the horizon. Bravely our ship met the storm isemester exams to youj, and we came out victorious. Our pilot decided that, although our ship had braved the storm wonderfully, a bit of repair really wouldn't hurt it. So in January we landed again. This time when we took off, a new passenger, Phyllis Shaifner, went along. We glided along through January and February. The rest of the year passed along with nothing much happening except for a few more minor storms. Our flight ended in May and was indeed a real success. A passenger, Lois Ruth Borden
