--'-- 's JV' Junior Class VVe, the class of '28, met for the first time as upper-classmen to carry through our most successful year so far. We elected the following officers: Vincent Dungan, president: Oliver Nichols, vice presidentg Vance Venables. secretary-treasurer, Robert Meyers, business manager, and Miss Margaret G. Furness advisor. VVe began this year right by having the following Juniors represent us in the Scholarship society: Dixie Anthony, Elenore Archer, Helen Balaam. Thomas Campbell, Vincent Dungan, Mary Fisher, Sadie Greenwood, Julia Hurwitz, Ida Mae Ylohnston, Thorington Putnam. Mildred Thornbnry, Georgia XVood, Ethel Cook, Anna Murata, Vance Venables and Arlene Kirkman. However, the ability to learn is not our only quality. for we gave as many members to athletics as to the Scholarship Society. To the Heavy- weight football team we contributed C. XVhitney, and T. Clements: to the Lightweight team. Otis Nichols, Oliver Nichols, N. Clark, H. lluckaby, R. Murphy, and E. Harvev: to basketball we gave E. Harvey, H. Huckaby. C Goracke, .-X. Goracke, C. Wlhitney, G. NNVCCINS, Oliver Nichols, and E. Martin: to baseball, E. Harvey, G. Givens, K. Perkins, C. Goracke, A. Goracke, and ll. Huckaby. In track the juniors ran a close second to the Seniors in points. ln girls' sports the Junior girls proved themselves superior in interclass Basket- ball. VVe gave Madgel Wlilson, Helen Balaam, Anna Murata and Agnes Sims to the Girls' League Baseball team which won three games from other schools. A third outstanding quality is our ability in dramaties. YVe contributed the following eight members to the cast of 'fSeventeen the school play: Otis Nichols, Maurice Tyler, Neal Clark, Edwin Martin, Charles Smith, joel lfledgpeth, Muriel XVells. and Mary Fisher. This was over half the cast. Otis Nichols had the part of XVillie Baxter, the lead, which he played very creditably. Maurice Tyler took the part of VVillie's father, which was an important part. In the Glee Club Operetta, Ethel Cook and Helene Sparks both had leading parts. VVe conducted the Blue Moon Shoppe after the operetta. Josephine Young and Helene Sparks, with Vincent Dungan playing the accompaniment, sang several numbers to entertain the patrons. The cafeteria was decorated very prettily with glowing blue moons and flowers. The menus were writ- ten on folding blue moons. The Shoppe was also conducted after the school play. Roth times it was very successful. .Xll other events led up to the crowning success of the year, the junior- Senior llanquct. Xke are now looking forward to the time when we can show our ability as the leaders of the school, when we can make the Freshmen behave. the Sophomores learn their places, and the -luniors look up to us!
