SOPHOMORE CLASS

On March 23, we gave our sophomore party. It was an old time party and every student had his share of fun. Class officers that year were:

President: Clair Jones
Vice President: Paul Lillengreen
Secretary: Anita Thornton
Treasurer: Bernadine Schmitt
Council Representative: Bobby Stuhlmiller
Class Advisor: Mr. McKay

We chose as our class colors, Red and Gray, Red Rose as our class flower and
“Climb the Ladder to Success” as our motto.

As juniors we started out with 3 new members, namely Harold and Henry Thompson
from Lewis and Clark, Spokane and Delbert Koberstine, a transfer from Spokane
Junior Academy. This brought our enrollment to 26. Class officers for this year are:

<poem>
President: Wayne Blair
Vice President: Sore Paul Lillengreen
Treasurer: Fanchon Tramm
Secretary: Bobby Stuhlmiller
Councils Representative: Clair Jones
Class Advisor: Miss Bernadine Cash

Our first great activity of the year was the class play, entitled “Seventeen”. This play was directed by Mr. Robert Ross, now of Richland. The play was a huge success.

This year we were well represented in football, basketball, and baseball.

"The Isle of Golden Dreams” was the theme of our Junior-Senior banquet and prom held on April 25. As you entered the gymnasium you were immediately transported to that Pacific isle, Hawaii, as palm trees, and an ocean scene under blue skies greeted your eye.

The banquet tables, centered with silver and gold guitars and like miniature nutcups was laden with food typical of the island. Each guest was provided with leis and the traditional memory booklet.

Musical numbers interspersed the toasts, prophecy and will. The program was cli- maxed by Miss Raymer’s talk. Servers were attired in native costume.

At the prom, the dancers received leis and danced to the music of Roy Halliday’s dance orchestra.

Paul Lillengreen was chairman of the entire event.

JUNIOR PLAY

The play, Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington was presented on November 29 and 30, under the direction of Mr. Robert Ross.

THE PLOT

Silly Bill fell in love with Lolo, the Baby-Talk Lady, a little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself he stole his father’s evening clothes. When his wooing became a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother stole the clothes back, and had them altered to fit the middle-aged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at home in the evening. But when it came to the Baby-Talk Lady’s goodbye dance, not to be present was unendurable. How William Sylvanus again got the dress suit, and how as he was wearing it at the party the Negro servant, Genesis, disclosed the fact that the proud garment was in reality his father’s are some of the elements in his comedy of youth.
