     In our Freshman year we elected Rex Green, president; Gladys Erb, vice-president; Betty Springer, secretary; and Gordon Duncan, treasurer. Betty Breneman and Wesley Mohnkern tied for first place for the American Association of University Women medal.
     Our Sophomore class officers were Rex Green, president; Helen Rountree, vice-president; Frances Nissley, secretary; and Lawrence Madison, treasurer. We entered many activities and gave a Sophomore Hop. Virginia McDowell, Kathryn Bloom, Betty Breneman, and Wesley Mohnkern received the Parent Teachers' Association medals while Nellie Stephens won the A. A. U. W. medal.
     We began our junior year by electing Wesley Mohnkern, president; Betty Springer, vice-president; Gregg Thompson, secretary; and Rex Green, treasurer. We gave three one-act plays: "The Trysting Place," "The Ghost Story," and "The Rehearsal," which were very successful. The participants in the Junior Declamatory Contest were Kathryn Bloom, Betty Breneman, Betty Springer, Nellie Stephens, Gordon Duncan, Rex Green, Gregg Thompson, and Wesley Mohnkern. The winners were Betty Breneman and Rex Green with Kathryn Bloom and Wesley Mohnkern second. The annual Lincoln Essay contest was won by Betty Breneman with Lois Lowe and Wesley Mohnkern receiving Honorable Mention. Our class dance, The Junior Promenade, was very successful. Sarabelle Reese won first prize in the American History contest, while Wesley Mohnkern won the A. A. U. W. medal.
     We started our Senior year by electing Gordon Duncan, president; Carl Hasek, vice-president; Betty Linn, secretary; and Gregg Thompson, treasurer. This year we introduced a high school ring with a seal that will be standard for four years. In this book is the record of all the achievements of our Senior year.
