Foreword Ten years as the world goes is not a very long time.
But
in the average life a decade becomes not such an insignificant span, and if we are to belie,揃e the bromides, 'The First Ten Years Are the Hardest." \Xie hope that's the \vay it will be with Grays Harbor Jun足 ior College, that the hardest part of building a real institution is behind us, and that-easier years are ahead.
It is nice to know
that the institution since its founding a decade ago has not backslid over, but has continued to go forward and get ju t a little better every year. We feel that the citizens of Grays Harbor should be as proud of the school as are the students, and just a little rhank足 ful toward those who instivted the idea, thereby bringino to hundreds of young men and women opportunities for educa足 tion that otherwise might never have become available.

There is no doubt but that Gra)'S Harbor Junior College owes its existence to Dean Lewi
Tidball.
Not only did Dean Tidball
take over the helm when the school i.vas started, he has nursed the institution alon�· until today it is the largest junior colle e in the state.
Widely known as an educa:o:_
a school of this size is extremely fonuru-e in having a man of Dean Tidball's calibe-_
Grays Harbor Junior College Th:s yor Grnys Harbor Junior College obsen·ed its renrh :innl\·ersary.
s:nce th:ir day in September. 1930, ,,·hen rht
first classes com·ened in rhe ne,,· institution the enr::illmenr has
gro\rn
steadily.
This
year·s
sophomore
class
is
rhe
largest e,·er to be graduated from rhe brgest junior college in the s�1re. Every yeu lus seen rhe addition of new acriYities, new clubs and new cour,es.
Ar rhe presenr rime there are four
purely social org1nizar:ons: rhe Midshipmen and Kappa Theta Tau fraternities. 1nd the Alph1 Delta Rho and
u Bera Phi
sororities. Hiking, skiing, bowling-as well as the e\·er presenr ping pong-do their bit to keep Jack and Jill from becoming dull boys and girls. \\/ith the growth of the junior college movement came the campaign for sysrem.
their inclusion in the
state educational
Last year the state legislature refused to pass a bill
which would have reduced the cost of a college education for hundreds of high school graduates.
However. the fight for
state aid is being continued and it is hoped that the bill will pass when ir is presented in 1941. The school thar was founded so that depression-struck studenrs of Grays
Harbor could obtain at least part of
a
college educ:ition h:is endured through many le:in years. \Xlirh better times ahe,td. Grays Harbor Junior College looks forward to a brighter future and an e,·en larger en roilment.

F reslunan Class History This year's Freshman class, though not as large as that of last year's record breaker, topped more than 100 students, to become the second largest frosh class in school history.
Throughout the year the newcomers have established a fine record both scholastically, and in activities, and have held their own in the traditional clashes with the mighty sopho mores.
Upon entering school the Freshmen elected Kenneth Price as president, and supplimented him with the following offi cers:
Bob Aiken, vice-president; Doris Mannion, secretary;
Ray Crick, treasurer, and Don Whitmer, yell leader. The class of 1941 may prove to be even more important to junior college due to the fact that an unusual.number ha,·e indicated they \Yill return next year.
