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
