lOR CLRSS Their greatest undertaking was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, held May twelfth, a semi-formal dance to which the entire school was invited. As is the custom, the evening was dedicated to the seniors by the class which will take its place in leadership. The affair was held in the large gymnasium, which had been especially decorated for the occasion. When the hour of departure arrived, many tired but delighted students declared the dance was a huge success. Many members of the Junior Class were outstanding in sports, especially football and basketball.

THE jun For three years a large group of students, who are now the Junior Class, have taken an active part in every school activity. The class has cooperated with the faculty, seniors, and lower classmen and shown its ability in every way possible. Class rings were the object of much discussion, and the juniors very proudly displayed them at the beginning of the year. Because the rings were ordered in the latter part of the sophomore year, they arrived early and caused much envy on the part of the lower classmen. The Scholastic ability of the juniors was exceptionally high, as fifteen members of this class were represented in the California Scholarship Federation. Not only were they members, but the juniors held many offices in the society. Including that of president. The class displayed its journalistic abilities through the medium of the ’’F atchet ' ' two members holding prominent offices, that of Associate Editor and Business Manager. The cast of the Student Body play, Three Days of Grade, contained many juniors. In the Vodvil and Christmas Pageant, members of the class took leading parts and, on the whole, showed much enthusiasm and talent. For their Assembly program, on February 2, the juniors chose a real melodramer ' and variety show, which met with much enthusiasm by the Student Body. 20

THe SOPHO With one year of experience behind them, the Sophomores showed great enthusiasm In returning to their work. They set out with a will to make the new term a success. Officers were elected, and a schedule for their coming activities was planned. The Starlight Frolic, given In the gym Friday evening, December 9, 1938, was the first big date on their calendar. The gym was decorated appropriately for the Christmas theme, with silver and blue as their basic colors. They used crystals and snow designs. The central motif was an elaborate chandelier hanging from the center of the celling with a brightly decorated Christmas tree beneath It. It proved to be an evening of great enjoyment to all who attended. Much of the school ' s great talent is possessed by the sophomore students as was shown by the unusually large number who participated in the Student Body Play, Christ¬ mas Pageant, and the Vodvil. There was also a good representation of sophomores In the chorus, orchestra, and band. As one of the duties of the Sophomore Class, they decorated the halls and the auditorium for Christmas. In the halls they used garlands of greens, interspersed with large wreaths which were decorated with colored lights and large red ribbon bows. In the auditorium they had a large Christmas tree decorated In the traditional way: and in the trophy case a nativity scene was set up. 22
