Ai Graduation Time The junior-Senior Prom is always the big event of the social season. Qurs was truly a gala atlair, a South American Fiesta scene with a brick-walled garden topped by pots ol brilliant geraniums. The colorful murals, gaily-striped awnings, salt glow oi picturesque street lights, and the dull gleam ol llickering candles added to the old-world charm. Last yearis juniors whose hard worlc made the prom a success were Barb Bauer, Patsy Griileth, Les lflaas, lVlary jane Tripp, Betty Turner, and Bob Wright. Three highlights of the graduation season are the presentation ol the lVlantle and the announcement of the valedictorian and salutatorian. Each year the Mantle is presented at Class Day to some junior who has been selected on the basis ol being the most outstanding all-around student in regard to character, service, scholarship, and leadership. Last year, Bob Wright received this highest of all honors which a junior may receive. ln addition to having the highest scholastic averages in the Class of '43, Nancy ,lulces and jessie Glass, this year's valedictorian and salutatorian, have been outstanding leaders in school lile. The class is proud and happy to have these highest honors fall on such popular, active, and well-rounded members. Valedictorian Mantle Salutatorian Nancy jukes Bob Wright Jessie Glass

K, jrlff' junior Officers: Albert Johnson, secretary, Anne Duenbostle, president, Beth Engelson, treasurer, Laurence Dowling, vice- president The Class of ,44 We now present the junior class-peppy, intelligent, and versatile. The cheerful group pictured above are the class officers, and guided by them, the juniors have had a very successful year. War-time conditions made the sale of candy less profitable than usual this year. The candy girls started out ambitiously enough, but soon found that they had time on their hands, as shortage in sugar made it impos- sible for dealers to supply the girls with enough candy bars to talce care of the demand. More than one sweet tooth ached in vain during the year when its owner saw on the candy counter-only coughdropsl Because the armed forces required large supplies of chewing gum, teachers were gladdened and students were saddened by the scarcity of that product. The paper and pencil business thrived as usual. glean DeWane acted as distributor this year. There were a few changes here too. The blue covers on the paper paclcs went to war, as a certain advertiser would say, and pencil erasers were streamlined to conserve rubber. At the Booster Carnival this year, the juniors brolce tradition and elected the junior queen, Bernice Kiefer, as Carnival Queen by selling almost twenty thousand dollars worth of bonds. The junicrs also brolce another tradition and ordered their rings this year instead of ing nti hey were seniors. The rings cfosen were oval in a choice of red, blue, onyx or gold with i cre .
