The students were entitled to wear anything they pleased from a Groucho Marx costume to baby sister’s dress. Taking advantage of this privilege, the juniors made “Hey Day” more than successful. LOW JUNIORS President Marjorie Hunter, Vice-president Betty Verleger, and Secretary Tom Schibusch were re- sponsible for the success of this term’s low junior class. In October, the junior class's “Hey Day” com- pletely turned the school into a day of fun for every- one. The entire junior class, including high juniors, wore many different colorful costumes. A dance was held in the library to complete the activities.
