And now that the end of the year has been reached, they can sum up their work in three words, iob well done. They set out toward their goal at the start of the year, ,manning the Junior Booth during football games. Though this good source of income proved to be a lot of work, it didn't discourage the deter- mined kids who iumped in on all fours. Things ran pretty smoothly until the fateful Banning game on a rain-swept field. The booth roof leaked, flooding hot dogs, candy bars, pop corn, and everything else within range. At the climax of this setback, the electric power in the booth went out, leaving mad con- fusion, and a net profit for the evening of STO. However, when the Banning game was replayed before a crowd of more than 6,000, the juniors were more than repaid for their trouble. The football season had not reached its close before the Class of '54 was planning for its annual Junior Class Play. They selected Meet Me in St. Louis by Perry Clark and immediately set off on its production. The dramatization received wide- spread approval from all over the Q valley and, incidentally, netted the f' . iuniors more than 5100. QA ' All work and no play makes for . If D, a dull day, the kids decided and v R selected Joe Devery to get up a ,I Cf C Junior Review, a talent show to be I2 presented to the student body in an assembly. The script included, sing- . ing, dancing, acting, and good ole' messin' around. And finally in May the really big f- event of the year arrived, the Junior- The Q 9 ' Senior Banquet. Committees and in- dividuals lavished long hours on the A invitations, the program, the music, and the decorations to make the year's social highlight a truly beauti- ful memory. The Desert Air Hotel was the scene and the theme was South l Seas. PAGE 24 '
