Nancy Trimncll President EcKvard Ference V ice-president Kenneth Palmer Secretary Robert i imm Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS I he I hire! Year Midshipmen boarded the ship determined to make this year the most enjoyable of their cruise. I hey started the social activities of the year with the Corn Huskers Ball. It was a most unusual dance because of the novelties it offered. I he Junior Flay, entitled I he Y oung- est, and featuring Irene Spanier and Steve Gabor in the leading roles, was one ol the best plays ol the year. I he outstanding social event in the career of any junior class is the Junior From given in honor of the graduating seniors. This year s prom was no exception. The gym was beautifully decorated; there was a splendid orchestra; and gay entertainment was fur- nished by the students. The Junior Class is one of the most active classes in school. Its members have distin- guished themselves in music, dramatics, athletics, and scholarship. Twenty Juniors entered the district and the state band contests, placing first in both. Gene Sherry and Dick Martinson, two ol the I ew musicians recommended to the na- tional contest from Indiana, won first place for their solo performances. I wenty boys in the Junior class played varsity football, and live Juniors were on the varsity basketball team, showing that the class excells in athletics. Three of the six members of the debate squad were Juniors. Steve Gabor received the Degree of Excellence from the Na- tional-Forensic League, the next to the highest degree available. Mary C harlotte Powell and Dorothy I arr received the De- gree of Honor. When the new chapter ol the National Honor Society was organized this spring, live Juniors were elected to it. I hey were: Helen Jeanne Beaubien. Steve Gabor. Louis Green, Mary C harlotte Powell, and William Scbnell. Nancy I runnel I was chosen to represent Hammond at the National Red Cross Con- vention in Washington where she gave an address on the subject: How we may keep the service fund growing in the high school.’ We commend the I bird Year Midship- men on the excellent record which they have thus lar made.
