The Sophomore Class WO years ago when we entered High School we were a terrified bunch of little Freshmen. Although we were many and there is strength in numbers, we spent most of our time worrying about the dreaded initiation which was supposed to be given by our upper classmen. But as the days passed, however, we found that our fears were groundless as no initiation took place. In the natural course of events we Hnally outgrew the insignilicant title of Freshmen and inherited the momentous title of Sophomores. Soon after school began, we called a class meeting and elected the following officers: President --------- Kathleen Walter Vife President - - - - Ogden Huston Secretary and Treasurer ------ Lorraine Ahlstedt Delegates for Student Council - - Holly Fechner and Rex Funnell This year three new classmates have been added to our number: Robert Stauch, Marie Om- ness, and Virginia Swenson. Our class was well represented in both boys' and girls' athletics this year, having Raymond and Rex Funnell, Robert Stauch, Carl Cordell, Elliott Gibbs, Walter Houpt, Lawrence Pelon, Henry Loehr, Holly Fechner, Ruth Perkins, Arlyne Schneider, Jeanette Funnell, Virginia Swen- son, Marie Omness, Alice De XVitt, and Kathleen Walter on the different teams. Julia Austin was our representative on the debate squad. We feel that we have a right to be proud of all the members of our class who took part in these activities. Mr. Wolfe has been our class advisor and has helped us make our Sophomore year a suc- cessful one. We are now looking forward to entering Whitehall High School next year as juniors. . ,,,,,.,,,,.,.,,.........,,.,.,,,,.,,,..,,,,.,...,,.........,... Page Twenty-one

The Junior Class ITH a good intellectual, athletic, and social year just passed, the Class of 1932 has focused its attention on next fall when it will enroll for the last time in Whitehall High School. As prospective Seniors we are looking forward to the contributions we hope to make to school life as well as the attendant enjoyments and honors of a graduating class. We are happy that during the past year our class was ably represented in all extra-curricu- lar activities. Bertha King, Ann Brightwell, and Vera Havlik represented our class on school athletic teams in baseball, basketball, and track, Cornfield, Fechner, Funnell, Dahlstrom, W. Brightwell, and Mickelson were football regulars during the season last fall, and the same boys and Arthur Bloomquist were worthy members of the School and Reserve Basketball teams. ln forensics, Betty Blank, William Fechner ,and Richard Cogswell were letter winners. To the school band our contribution consisted of two saxophones, one sousaphone, two drums, three clarinets, two trombones, two mellophones, and two trumpets. Outstanding among the social events were the junior Card Party given on May 27 in the gymnasium and the junior-Senior Banquet at Murray's Inn on May 29. The former event at- tracted a large crowd of bridge, five hundred, and bunco players. The annual junior-Senior banquet was the crowning event of the year. Murray's Inn proved a splendid place for this event and a Muskegon orchestra enlivened the occasion. Following a long established precedent alumni and under classmen were invited to the dance following the dinner. Everyone declared the event a social event of pleasant memory. This year's class officers included: President ---- - Vera Havlik Vice President - Edward Dahlstrom Secretary ---- ---- B ertha King Treasurer ---- - - - Ann Brightwell Delegates lo Student Council Helen Langer and Robert Kassner Class Advisor - - - ---- Mrs. Dodge nnmn1yi1li111ll1H1wnw.nn...l,.l.n.

The Freshman Class UST as the year 1928 will go down in history as the year that Lindberg sent the message, We landed safely, the year 1930 will be a memorable one to the members of the Class of '34, because it marked the beginning of our flight toward higher education. We chose joyce Berglund as our leader this year, Paul Simonson for her assistant, Amy jean Holmblade to keep the records for this class, and Kenneth Connell as watch dog of the treasury. We also chose Martha Houpt and Charles Schecter to represent us in the Student Council. Under the leadership of these officers and with the aid of Mr. Folkert, our class advisor. we've tackled all our work with such zest that our superiors have expressed surprise. With just as much enthusiasm we have entered High School activities. Thirteen of our number have merrily made music in the Glee Clubs. In the bands our class is represented by four clarinets, three trumpets, a trombone, a saxophone. a sousaphone, and a flute. W'e had a half back and a sub on the football team, a guard, forward, and a sub on the second team in basketball, and two fielders on the baseball team. In girls' athletics we were represented by three members who were subs on the basketball team and two who were first team baseball members and received letters. We contributed two girls to the track team. We have given several programs before the High School assembly this year, and to enter- tain ourslves gave several parties. Altogether, this year has been a very pleasant one with a well balanced diet fwhich Mr. Friksen so painstakingly taught us was absolutely necessaryj of work and play. Page Twenly-two
