President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Pat FLoyp Louis HILDEBRAND CLARENCE KITE Junior Class History —Time Staggers On The present Junior Class came into being in the fall of 1934. We were much the same group you will find at the beginning of each school year. As all freshmen are, we were very optimistic, cocky and inclined to believe we could lick the world. Yet there was a subtle air of fear—fear of the upper classmen. As are all first year classes, we were divided into two literary clubs. Edna Maxey was elected president of the combined group. During the year we enjoyed many interesting group competitions. The officers of the class were selected in the late winter, with Pat Floyd as president. In the spring, most of us were advanced to the rank of sophomores and were all looking forward to fall when we could reap vengeance on the incoming freshmen. In the fall we were much disappointed—the “hazing” system had been abolished. This was a hard blow, but we survived. This being our second year we were given the privilege of joining the many organizations sponsored by the school. Taking immediate advantage of the “break,” we increased the club enrollments by leaps and bounds. Right after mid-term, we sponsored Sophomore Day and a chapel program giving im- personations of famous radio characters. Officers were elected at this time and Rachel Young was selected to head the class. The Junior Class of ’37, organized earlier than the previous classes. Elections were held and Pat Floyd was given the highest office in the class. After our first meeting, we lay dormant until after mid-term, when we realized that we needed money. Plans were made and with the aid of the Dramatic Club we sponsored the play, “Drums in My Heart.” The Junior-Senior party was held in early April. Bt

President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer ANNA KNAPP VIRGINIA FERGUSON Jimmy Booker SOPHOMORE HISTORY And then we were Sophomores! Such supreme joy. For then we were freed from the yoke of “high class” tyranny. And we had made a name for our- selves. We are mighty—that claim lying in the fact that we make up about one- fourth of the entire school’s enrollment. Never let it be thought that we have over-exerted our deserved privileges to reign over those less fortunates, ah no! They have received only guidance from us. This year many of us have ventured out for the first time since our Freshmen days of preparation. In the sports line, the Sophomores are well represented. Many.of this year’s “crack” players have been gleaned from among us, football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, and all the rest. In the various public activities sponsored by the clubs, we have again been honored by the selection of Sophomores to fill roles in plays, notable, “An Arizona Cowboy.” The title roles were the Operetta “Pentinent Pirates” presented by the Choral Club were enacted by members of our class. It has been a satisfying year and we look to 1938 with eagerness, for we shall be “high classmen.”
