Juniors Until September ’41 To the class of '42 we apply one of Caesar’s most famous quotations. Indeed, the members of the class of '42 have come, have seen, and are hoping to conquer. Is it necessary for us to look back upon the first days when this group first made its appearance around ''good ole Blume High? I think not as it is vividly remembered by all. The freshman year was a year of testing for that ambitious class. They accomplished this testing by taking part immediately in all of the various activities offered to freshmen within the school, such as athletics, student council, and music groups. The next year, their sophomore year, was another one of success. The members of the sophomore class ventured forth into the waiting activities of Blume High. Brilliant athletics were discovered in Bill Leitz, Don Kohler, John Headapohl, and others. This year only homeroom presidents were elected, not a definite class president. Some of the outstanding members of this class served as officers of their re-pective rooms. This was the year during which they began really to see things and to begin to draw conclusions and evaluate the worth of the school to them in knowledge and personality. The junior year is the one freshest in your minds. Although they made their first attempts to conquer during the first year of their high school career, this is the year they are looking forward to conquering more, and more and more. This they will have accomplished at the end of their senior year. The conquering power was most noted during the days of this junior term. This third year of your struggle for supremacy, you probably remember best. It was filled with numerous jobs held by capable junior people. The Student Council members were Don Kohler, Bill Leitz, Georgene Shuster, and Ruth Cory. Your president and vice-president have been John Headapohl and Doris Shuler, respectively, with Doris Harvey serving as secretary. The obligation of the junior class, the Lantern, was efficiently piloted by its editors, John Headaphol and his assistant, Joyce Frische. The music department was not slighted in the least as many members participated First Row: C. Abe. J. Abbot. D. Anderson, J. Ankerman. G. Applefeller, L. Becker, A. Benny. J. Berg. Second Row: M.

The junior boys ventured into the realm of athletics to a much greater extent this year, having members on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Organizations, such as the Stamp Club, Hi-Y, and Girl-Reserves have been invaded by many junior boys and girls. Some day we will take over and run our own business, vocations, and civic duties with the same ability and enthusiasm that we have shown in taking the responsibility entrusted to us in handling the various offices of clubs and other organizations throughout the school. We juniors are proud of our energetic class, and are going to keep forging ahead so that next year, our senior and last year here at Blume High, we can truly say that we have Come, have Seen, and Have Conquered.
