JUNIORS The main social activities of the Junior class, under the sponsorship of Mr. Wheatley and Miss Davis, were focused upon the Junior-Senior banquet, which we nope will be one of the best ever given in honor of a Senior class. In order to be prepared for this gala event we began working early in the school year to earn sufficient funds. Our first job was in selling magazine subscriptions to our parents and friends. We obtained enough money from this sales campaign to present an ordinary banquet, but not a “1948 Banquet,” therefore, we decided to have another carnival and in keeping with the tradition of the past nine years we called it the “Dizzy Derby.” Officers who guided the above activities were: President .............................................Jim Bokenkamp Vice President .................................. -.... Russell Fields Secretary ................................... Wandalee Fehrenbacher Treasurer ..................................-....... Norma Jean Moore Student Council Members .................. Don Taylor, Elinor Heninger 19 — CLAYTONIAIM — 4 7
