SOPHOMORES This year the Sophomores chalked up a few notes for themselves on the High School music scale. Their president. Bill Simmons, who was a favorite of all, completed his term successfully. Norma Snook, the class secretary and treasurer, received much applause for her prompt and accurate reports. Ed Gazarian and Betty Grainger, the song and yell leaders, successfully upheld the spirit of the class. The Ex-Committee members were Norma Snook and Bill Simmons, who fulfilled their duties toward their classmates by keeping their privileges tuned up to the right key. The Sophomores also took part in football, basketball, baseball, and track and walked away with many of the honors in the inter-class games. Many of the boys willingly gave their assistance to the home team to help fight with rival schools. Besides their aid to the school, the class of ’39 kept themselves busy in keeping their bank account above par. They originated many new ideas such as popcorn ball sales at school and novelties at their dances. This class also had many hot dog sales and candy sales. Their greatest success of all was their Christmas Dance, which they gave on December eleventh. The hall was decorated with Christmas trees, holly, mistletoe, and other Christmas decorations. For a grand surprise, they arranged for “Old Santa” to arrive a little early so their guests could be well entertained by his jokes and jolly laughs. Now the Sophomores have done their share and have been given privilege of following the High School band as full fledged Juniors.
