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

Naturally the class of '43 didn't try to overrule tradition. The only thing it did was to furnish the entire schcx l with a movie. As sophomores, the class had a hayride to which they all invited guests. This was considered a success, although much of the f(xxl disappeared before the guests were fed. As efficient sophomores, the class members also performed the duty of decorating the stage for graduation. C 15 3
