JUNIOR ACTIVITIES On November 29, 1940, the Junior Class presented a seventeenth century comedy called The Imaginary Invalid by the famous French dramatist Moliere. The setting of the play was in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV. It concerned a swaggering old hypochondriac, the eternal strife between him and the members of his family, and his eventual cure. The cast included Warren Schmidt, Dorothy Foose, Patti Lusby, Morse Smiley, Bernadine McDowell, Juanita Messenger, Lowell Grauel, Dick Mitchell, Harold Harshaw, Darrel Lingle, Paul Ritchey, and Stanley Paynter. In addition to winning the prize for the most outstanding float in the Homecoming parade, the Juniors also distinguished themselves by giving the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 15, 1941. This affair, always the most important social event of the year, proved as festive as ever, with gala decorations of flowers and candles. The year closed with four outstanding Juniors being chosen as Junior Escorts for the Commencement ceremonies, and twelve other Juniors acting as ushers. [ n 1

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Once upon a time (three years ago), our illustrious King Cole I (President), Donald Oldemeyer, reigned over his most worthy subjects with the invaluable aid of his fiddlers three; Virginia Dedman (Vice-President), who has since moved away: Marie Arthington (Secretary), and Maryellen Webster (Treasurer). A year passed, and Donald Oldemeyer became King Cole II. Here a slight devia- tion issued forth. The King was content with two fiddlers, who were Warren Schmidt (Vice-President), and Ellen White (Secretary and Treasurer). Came another year, but the King, however, spurned a third term and graciously accepted a fiddler s position. In his stead Warren Schmidt, former fiddler, was crowned King Cole III. Messrs. Stanley Paynter (Vice-President), and Donald Oldemeyer (Secretary and Treasurer), fiddled their way along with the King. Thus ends the past records of the present kingdom of the Juniors. t 12 J
