JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Dear Diary: It was way back in September 19148 that we, the class of '52, entered Vashon High as bewildered excited fresh. Under the direction of Mr. Barton and Mr. Ostrom, Norman Stanley was elected class president, Jim Power, vice-president, and Joan Butterworth was secretary-trrasurer. After three weeks of waiting, the long anticipated ini- tiation night arrived and we appeared before our superior sophomore friends in burlap sacks, in proper orden,to become students of Vashon High. At last, though, the day of reck- oning came when we were allowed to give a return party at which we played a game of truth or consequences, the sopho- mores being the victims. As another year rolled around we readied ourselves for the sophomore year by electing Bob Nordby as president, Wayne House, vice-president, Maxine Langland, secretaryg and Bob Brenno, treasurer. Our class was represented that year in the letter club by Wayne House, Bob Brenno and Alex Kusulosg and in debate by Billie Wilbur, Vanetta House, Carolann Raymond, and Bob Nordby, who received a letter. Nancy Blair, Clara Jo Williams, and Jim Power were cho- sen as cheer leaders and did such an excellent job that the ASB re-elected them in their Junior year. At last we were upper classmen, and we went right to work on the job of being a very busy Junior class. we began work on our Junior Prom under the direction of Mr. Henriot. Our theme was a WNight in Shanghai,H and the success of our dance was evident by the unusually large attendance. Then before we knew it, it was time for the Junior Play More work, and more fun. We put on the production UBarkley Square,U which is a drama. The setting was the last of the 17th century in England, so, of course, the costuming held as intense an interest for the large crowd who attended the performance, as did the plot itself. Everyone agreed that it was a wonderful play to work with, and under the direc- tion of Mr. Lake we all had a great time with it. Remembering the fun enjoyed by all in our Junior year, we anxiously await what is in store for us as sophisticated Seniors next year.
