The class of 1939 entered their Junior year with an enrollment of 55 members. Their first class meeting was held early in September for the purpose of electing class officers. Many members of the Junior Class were prominent in athletics this year. Seven were out for football, five of them making letters. When the basketball season rolled around, six boys participated with three receiving letters. Girls, too, were active in athletics. Eight girls were out for basketball with Marion Ruffafti as captain of the Junior team. They also won recognition when Norma Lee Jennings, one of the prominent Junior girls, was chosen by the student body, to be crowned Queen of Athletics on home-coming day. Dramatics also claimed the attention of Juniors. The Junior play, “Murder on the Set,” won second place in the Thespian play contest. Florence Rueger received honor for being the second best actress and Mary Belle Moorehead and Rose Zavilla received honorable mention. The Junior class play, “The Importance of Being Earnest,” was presented before a large audience on February 11. Other activities in which Juniors took part were many and varied. In the Music Department five Juniors were enrolled in the orchestra and many girls from the Junior Class were members of the Glee Club and of the Triple Trio. In the Dramatic Department eight Juniors were out for Declamation, fifteen were Thespians, nine were members of Mask and Wig, and four were outstanding debaters. Seven members of the F Club were Junior boys. They were not only outstanding in organizations but they excelled in scholarship with twenty-four members on the A and B honor rolls. Three Juniors, were initiated into the National Honorary Society in April. On March 25, the Junior Class sponsored a penny carnival which was followed later in the evening with a dance. The biggest affair of the year was the Spring Prom given by the Juniors for the Seniors on May 6. This was one of the most' successful Proms ever given, and the Seniors were very well pleased by the entertainment given them during the evening. The Juniors closed the year with a class picnic and will meet again next September. OFFICERS PRESIDENT ...................... Sam Bowman VICE PRESIDENT ........
