The SPECTATOR JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1931, as a group of approximately two hundred forty-five, we came up to the High School building. We were the last class to enter this building as seventh-graders. We enjoyed the “thrill” and newness of “gym” and swimming. As Eighth-Graders” the following year, we elected home-room officers, and had a graduation of our own in June. Four hundred and twenty-three Freshmen were enrolled in September, 1933, and we made new friends among the newcomers to our class from other schools. We explored the mysteries of Latin and Algebra, known only to the high school student. As Sophomores, we began to join various clubs. The Philaletic Club was organized for the stamp collectors of the school. The year ended with a successful Freshman-Sophomore Prom. We are now upperclassmen, and for the first time we have organized and elected officers. Wilbur Taylor ........................................ President Jack Kennedy .................................... Vice-President Pauline McCutcheon ................................... Secretary Harrietts Jane Myers ................................. Treasurer Jean Steele .......................................... Historian Brown and gold have been chosen as our colors, and we are proud to wear our emblems of them. Many members of our class have taken part in the reorganization of Student Council, and in the presentation of the operetta, “Tulip Time.” Seven Juniors received football letters. We enjoyed many school dances throughout the school year, as well as other activities. We are now ready to take our place as Seniors—th goal toward which we have been working eagerly. 30 Jean Steele, Historian ’37.
