Some of the juniors who had leads in the Piiates of Penzance,'' the operetta, were: Helen Stech, Kathryn Ochsner, Blanche Naus and Clayton Stimmel. The Juniors also contributed many stalwart basketball players. Among them are: Geno Maus, Bill Van Schoyck, Herb Howa d and Orval Liebrick. A number of the Junior class were chosen to take charge of the weekly organ of Blume High, the Lantern. They were Mildred Underwood, Editor, William Hines, Asst. Editor and the following reporters; Eleanor Bowsher, Beulah Howell, Mary Louise Cook, Tyson Elder, Frances Jacobs, Betty Johnson, Helen Kantner, Eugene Parlette, Faye Pfenning, Roberta Burden, Sandra Shaw, Clayton Stimmel, Nellie Jane Strobel and Mary Jane Taylor. They have done splendid work and deserve commendation. Bill Van Schoyck, Orval Lieberick, Geno Maus, Harold Kantner, Herb Howard, Virgil Mesarvey, William Hines and Leland Stroh, did splendid work on the new baseball team. Many other Juniors are worthy of mention for their efforts toward bettering different organizations. So, all things considered, we feel that they are quite worthy of taking their places as Seniors of Blume High School for 1938. JUNIORS

In September, 1934, a large group of Freshmen entered Blume High School. Although it is not recorded what their thoughts were, it's not hard to guess. Passing from the eighth grade into high school was a notable land mark in their educational journey. As eighth graders they had been the most important pupils in school but their pride suffered a severe shock when the upperclassmen designated them with the humiliating name of greenies . But still feeling wise as owls and as important as Congressmen, they tried to take things by storm. Soon they discovered that even four subjects were a trifle overwhelming and that, no matter how hard they tried, algebra was harder than it looked and that their General Science notebooks were usually not acceptable. By the next year those who remained in school found it best for their own good to settle down into a well-ordered Sophomore year. A large group then passed on to the Junior year. A great many of the class have made noteworthy achievements for Blume High and deserve recognition. Those who played on the football team this year were: Geno Maus, Bill Van Schoyck, Herb Howard, Roy Raines, Vernon Wildermuth, Herschel Kemper, Harold Kantner, Bill Smith, Roland Harshbarger and Orval Lieberick.
