University High School - Duckling Yearbook (Eugene, OR)

CLASS OF 1939 Measured not in size but in spirit has been the motto of the class of '39. Despite the distinction of being the smallest class in University High, the sophomores have not only invaded every field of endeavor in high school activities, but have made valuable contributions in the projection of the current year as a banner year. Under the leadership of Eddie Young, president, Ray Richardson, vice-president, Abbie Jane White, secretary-treasurer, and Ralph Heustis, class representative, the group engaged in numerous activities and projects associated with class organizations. The advisers were Mrs. Ross and Mr. Hendrickson. The belated but traditional Uget-together for sophomores only was held in Febru- ary. Dancing proved to be the chief attraction of the class party with games running a close second. Athletics, dramatics and forums have all had their devotees among the sophomores. The class's own dramatics organization, the Amateur Masquers, presented several plays in assemblies. At least five sophomores had the distinction of winning the coveted UU in the field of athletics. A sophomore picnic as a climax to a profitable year of scholarship and activities was held in May. The coming years hold much in store for the class of '39. After surviving the rigors of being lowly sophomores, the superior position of juniors is eagerly awaited as a chance for new and greater experiences. 'I937 THE DUCKLING J Q

Z CLASS or 1938 dvi The young ducklings to become the class of 1938 entered University High with confidence and ability. During the year they proved they could keep up with the upper class men. This was made possible by the able leadership of Dick Smith, president 5' Richard Barger, vice-presidentg Ted Harmon, secretary-treasurerg and Jean Graham, class representative. Bliss Frazier and Mr. Peterson, class advisers, approved projects carried on by the class. These projects included organization of the Amateur Masquers, the sophomore drama groupg the sophomore edition of the Uni-Hi Lightsg the Silly Symphony Sopho- more Shufrle, the annual dance held for the youngest ducks only, and the May picnic which climaxed the year. As jubilant juniors, the ducks returned to school in the fall determined to do bigger and better things, starting by being the largest of the three classes. As leaders the middle classmen selected Jean Graham, presidentg Dale Baker, vice-president, Bob Deverell, secretary-treasurerg and Dick Smith, class representative. Mrs. May and Mr. Wil- liamson were advisers to the class. To show their ability, the junior class took over the responsibility of publishing one issue of the Hi-Lights, under the editorship of Ted Harmon. In March a sport dance was sponsored to raise necessary money for the Junior- Senior Prom given in April in honor of the graduating class. The class of 1938, having benefited by and enjoyed two successful years at Uni- versity High, eagerly awaits the time when it will reach the supreme rank of seniors. Q THE DUCKLING I9
