The week's fun was climaxed by a picnic at the South Reservoir with the freshmen as the guests of the seniors. The scholarship record of the class was above reproach. Six members were on the first semester honor roll: Alice Brewer, Richard Heffern, Tom Smith, Lavonne Theobald, Vera Lee Turner, and Lou Etta Underwood. On May 2 four from their ranks, Ross McGinnis, Bernice Scheibmeir, Lucille Crumrine, and Lavonne Theobald, took part in the State Scholarship Tests. Ably directed by their president, Lavonne Theobald, the Freshman class made rapid progress in using Parliamentary procedure with ease and precision in all their class meetings. Unusually interesting programs were presented with an outstanding one on Sportsmanship Entering a saxophone solo in the Tri Valley Music Festival, Jimmie Lee Bennett was outstanding among the twenty-three talented freshmen enrolled in instrument- al and vocal music. The class also claims one of the majorettes, Pauline Awalt. Theda Brown and Boyd Wix were the King and Queen candidates. Eight boys were on the football squad and five on the basketball B-squad.
