We lost Janice Swanson, Roger Swanson, Joyce Jerome, Francis Jilg and Donna Wiser We picked out our pennant at the beginning of this year. It has scarlet background with silver trim. We had two parties this year; cne was a weiner roastand theater party. JOLLY JUNIORS When we returned to the Halls of Blus we had the same students in our class. In the later part of September we had the misfortune to lose one of our members, Dick Luce. Dick moved to Belflower, California. Dur- int the year the class was very happy to have a new member, Pat Atkisson. Pat moved from Omaha. Fortunately Dick Luce came back from California in March. The Junior Class presented their play, Good Gracious Grandma on December fourth and fifth. A cake sale was held both nights after the play. The theme of our banquet was a Hawaii setting. We all enjoyed pre- paring for it. We were all waiting for the big day to receive our class rings. We received them after Thanksgiving. We were all glad to get them; even some of the senior girls were glad they came. SOPHISTICATED SENIORS At last we arrived at the last milestone in our high school educa- tion.
