We began our career by electing Beulah McGrew, president, Clarence Inman, secretary- treasurerg Lee Hendricks, vice president, and Elaine Anderson and Jim Price, yell leaders. To further our already well known ambi- tion, Berget Carlson and Vivian Martin showed the class talent by representing our school in Declamation. Many Freshmen boys turned out for ath- letics. Ray Mantik proved our fame by mak- ing the first team in football. Bill Jolley, Stan- ley Huhndorf, john Carlson and George Para- dis were on the second team. Our baseball team included Kenneth Mur- ray, Bob Herness, Bob Wolfe, Carl Rice, and Stanley Huhndorf. We also had a winning baseball team. The boys were not the only ones to prove their athletic ability, for the girls did almost as well themselves. Those who claimed honors with the boys in basketball were Ida Broden, Erma Samuels, Elaine Anderson, Alice Kling- enberg and Beulah McGrew. Ida Broden and Buelah McGrew accomplished a major fete by making the honor team. Evelyn Backman made her debut by being elected treasurer of the Girls' League. We proceeded by electing George Paradis, president, Clarence Inman, secretaryg Elaine Anderson, vice president, and the freshman yell leaders resumed their former place. The Sophomores were proud to announce having about as many Torch Honor Society members as all the remaining members. The Sophmores are: Naomi Abrahamson, Elaine Anderson, Evelyn Backman, Berger Carlson, Elaine Gallear, Vivian Martin, Ida Broden, Fred Merz, Thelma Nietzel and Etta May Canaan. The Football members returned to continue their good work. Bill Jolley and George Para- dis were steady first team players, while Jim Price and Bob Wolfe were substitutes. In Basketball the first team players included Bob Herness and Dick Buchanan. The second team layers were Kenneth Murray, Stanley Huhnduorf, Bob Stephens and Bob Wolfe. Evelyn Backman is now holding the honor- able position of Secretary of the Girls' League. Lee Hendricks reached new heights when he was elected one of the student body yell leaders. We're Sophomores now and with all these accomplishments behind us we are going to march on to greater triumphs in the two re- maining years of high school. Y-5 'ffm Thirteen

Twelve Junior Class History The juniors started the school year with their cus- tomary dash and spirit by electing as class ofiicers Marjorie Thompson for presidentg Gladys Wiesdepp, vice president, and Claire Sokolik, secretary. Accord- ing to the custom of our class we managed to retain our able advisor, Mr. Roehr. The class was also represented among the student body officers when, at a special election, George Mc- Nett was elected to the otlice of secretary. At this time juanita Cullens and Norrie Waddington were holding down the position of Rah Queen and Rah King. At the regular student body election the fol- lowing juniors were elected to office: Don Michel, presidentg Gladys Wiesdepp, vice presidentg Billie johnsen, secretary, and Marjorie Thompson, Rah Queen. One junior boy, Norrie Waddington, was elected secretary of the Boys' Club and Gladys Wiesdepp was elected vice-president of the Girls' League. One of the major activities of the class of 37 this year was the publishing of the school paper. XX'ith a capable staff headed by Marjorie Thompson as publisher and Rose Nelson as editor-in-chief the Tornado News has been very successful. Another activity of the juniors was the junior party to which each member of the class was en- titled to bring one guest. Needless to say as it was a junior activity it was a success. The class also sponsored the basketball game here with Kapowsin which was the best attended basket- ball game of the season. There are a large number of juniors in both the Glee Club and the orchestra. The Glee Club mem- bers are: Margaret Crawford. Beulah Carver, Vivian Kaiser, Phyllis Grinde, Gladys Wiesdepp, Billie johnsen, Marjorie Thompson, Marjorie Moon, Norrie Waddington, Roger Eide, and james Marr. Three of these, Phyllis Grinde, Vivian Kaiser and Norrie Wad- dington, had leading parts in the operetta, Tune In, which was presented in Match. Grchestra members from the junior class are: Margaret Crawford, Billie johnsen, Marjorie Moon, Marjorie Thompson, Frances Norton, jack Yenne, Tom Stewart, and Norrie Waddington. Several junior boys answered the call for football heroes. The junior football lettermen were james Marr, David Rogers, and Andrew Rogers. Roger Eide, Merle Morris, Kenneth Bradley and Bill Trot- ter turned out for football on the second string. The basketball teams also drew many of their members from the junior class. Among these were james Marr, Bob Bruce, David Rogers, Merle Mor- ris, Don Michel, john Flanigan, and Ronald Dalan. At the time of this writing the baseball team has not been picked but judging from past years it is likely to include the following juniors and probably more: Bob Bruce, David Rogers, Merle Morris, An- drew Rogers and john Flanigan. journalism, music, and athletics are not the only activities of the class, however. Both the Torch So- ciety and the declamation contests have their quota of juniors. Some of the major class activities have yet to be taken up, including the junior Prom, junior Play, The Farewell Dance for the Seniors, and the junior assembly program. judging from the past record of the class of 57 to put things over in a big way there can be little doubt as to their success.
