As the class of 12 juite a vote was put up on who should he president, hut Corny Miller was finally chosen. Truman Stelloh was chosen as a sub (in case Corny couldn’t he there). Bob Larson did first-hand hand writing as their secretary. and Inez Lahus certainly could collect their money. They put on a mixer, only they called it a ’‘Hard Time Part) . In the spring they carried out the idea of the 8th grade da for the second time and made a success of it. The Junior Business Class was the first to inaugurate a banking club, so on Tuesdays they collect the savings from the whole school. The Ag. boys challenged the Junior Business hoys to a three-game tournament of basketball. After winning three games, the Ag. boys declared themselves champions. This year only thirty-three of those beautiful hoys and gals came hack. After a lot of “campaigning’ Wilfred Tauscher became president and Bud Miller is— what they call the vice president. Margaret Ann Miller keeps the records, and Marie Hemker makes them pay their taxes. The class is a prosperous class all the credit goes to their advisor. Miss Staky. Karl) in the year the) tortured the Freshmen at the initiation. In January, they gave ever) girl in school her chance by sponsoring a Leap Year party. They’re represented in ever) club or organization in the school —guess that's all for now. “Good luck. Sophomores.’’ Page Thirteen

JUNIORS Joyful Unpredictable Noisy Initiative Observing Raring to go Studious As Freshmen, we came into High School full of pep and ready to have a good time. We still have our pep although we have also settled down to studying. We think that so far in High School we have accomplished many things. When we were Freshmen we planned and gave the first ‘ eighth grade day”. Since then other freshmen classes have done the same thing in an attempt to make this program a school tradition. I his year our class was awarded five dollars for selling the most carnival tickets. I he class published cheer books which contained the songs and yells of our school. The purpose was not only to raise money for the class but also to increase the school spirit. Upon looking at the personnel of the band, the basketball team, and other school activities, the names of several Juniors can be found. Here’s to next years Seniors! President...... Vice President Secretary...... Treasurer...... .....Lestor Olson .......John Lamp .....Wyliss Vogel De Lures Paisley Pago Twelve

We had finished our eight years of elementary school and now that we were “ Fresh ies we felt quite important, although the upper classes perhaps did not think so. The first few days were not very encouraging because of our inexperience and bewilderment, hut we soon adapted ourselves to our new environment. One of our first duties was to elect our class officers. The following were elected: President. David Syvertson; Vice President. Harry Albers; Secre- tary. Evelyn Wege: and Treasurer. Mary Walters. Miss Alliman is (Hass Advisor. On September 29. 1939. we were initiated, the anticipation of which caused us all more worry than the initiation itself. On that day the girls wore curlers to which green ribbons were attached in iheir hair. The hoys wore their shirts backwards with a green ribbon in front. In the evening we were blindfolded and led into the various rooms where we were put through a service of initiation tricks. This was followed by games and dancing in the gym. Our course of study consists of English. Science, ('ivies. Home Economics for the girls and either Agriculture or Business Practice for the hoys. With the beginning of the second semester, two more pupils were added to our class. They were Bruce and Clarice Carlson who came from Ely, Minnesota. Although we are often reminded of our greeness by the upper classmen, we are looking forward to the time when we shall bring honor to Salem High! Pag Fourtoon
