MOVING UP TO THE FRONT There will be no dearth of leadership or pro- motional ability when the current crop of juniors takes over the senior class duties next year. The two major activities of the juniors this year have been the annual play, Growing Pains, and the annual junior-senior prom. Under the capable directorship of Miss Phyllis Thornton, the juniors worked overtime pushing ticket sale for the play-and came out with the highest total receipts in recent years. Although the prom was scheduled for a date after this copy was prepared, preliminary plans indicated that the event would have all of the glamor which has characterized previous proms, despite war-time obstacles. Efficiency has been the keynote of all of the juniors' projects. The junior class had an enrollment of 151 at the opening of the fall term. Many of these stu- dents were unable to appear in the small-group photographs on the next three pages. ln the classroom, the juniors have consistently ranked high on the honor roll. In extra-curricular activities, the group has produced an all-state basketball player, numerous football, basketball, and track lettermen, the F. F. A. queen, officers of various school organizations, and a large per- centage of the membership of clubs. Fairbury High School, though regretting the passing of an outstanding senior class, looks lor- ward to another season and another fine class of seniors in 1942-43.
