JUNIOR COTTON BALL “Reel” good lime! Fun to the “fin”ish! There can be no doubt that the 1958 Junior Class Party, “The Fishbowl,” net- ted an evening of enjoyment for those who attended.

Lending to the marine theme of the evening were the decora- tions, consisting of fish cutouts and an aqua background of strung fish nets. “Somethings's fishy here!” says Mary Orendorf as she and I,orraine Braet check their coats with Service Club member Larry Grosskopf at the Junior “Fishbowl.
