Well broken in to school routine by an apprenticeship year as sophomores, it was an easy task, comparatively, to avoid the pitfalls which confront the younger members of the school. Numerous members of our class figured prom- inently in the various school organizations such as the Dramatic Club, Commercial Club, and so on, and the various sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. Nor were we laggards when it came to literary achievements for we juniors had contributed about thirty eight percent of the articles appearing in the Spring Issue of the Mirror. We had thirty-one more articles than the Freshmen, nine more than the Sophomores, and even seven more than the lordly Seniors. Count 'em up and see for yourself! The highlight of the junior Year has not yet taken place, but by the time this Commencement Issue is in your hands it will haveiburst forth in in all its glory. Of course, the junior Prom is referred to, taking place this year on May 24. Under the leadership of Chairman Ozzie Falling it is bound to prove itself an even bigger success than it has ever been. And now here we are again at the end of an- other school year, getting ready to put one more year into the discard with a comfortable feeling that much has been learned during the course of it and the hope that, as seniors next year, we will put to effective use what knowledge we have ac- quired this year.

Once even has it been whispered that while seeking the Freshman Science Class we wound up in a Senior Biology Classl Be that as it may, our adaptable natures soon fitted in most serenely with normal school life, and we felt proud to be the first Freshman Class in the Senior High School for a very long time. lt did not take us long to elect an efficient group of otlicers for our class, or to select an FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Sfimdizzgz Marilyn Pearce, Robert Keith Hugh Maguire, sealed.
