During the fall many of our boys playedkon both Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams, After the successful Freshman Return Party Alfred Bosio Vice President came Christmas vacation, the semester, and exciting basketball sea- son, We were especially proud of Rodrigo Castillo, high scorer in the B League lightweight division.

wziofc Ufass Under the excellent leadership of Gary Stubblefield, President, Josephine Hook, Vice President, Nancy Lee, Secretary, Ruth Barn- well, Treasurer, and Amado Saenz, Sergeant-at-Arms, the Junior Class proved their ability as upper-classmen. Our financial status was greatly helped when we sold hot dogs, cakes, coffee, candy, and gum at the football and basketball games under the care of 4June Brooks, Jean Skanse, and Charlene Morris. Our class rings were ordered as soon as possible, and we received them in December. At the Homecoming Game Josephine Hook reigned as Queen and Joan Hook her assistant. At the games, Patsy Pura led the band as head majorette with Nancy Lee and Lavella Dionne assistant maiorettes. Joan Stockdale and Eugene McRae rallied our school spirit as assistant yell leaders and Doyleen Hooks led the pom pom girls in their first appearance. Jim Kosinski was placed on the mythical All C.C.A.L. and led the B-Section basketball teams in scoring. Patsy Pura was our Queen at the Barn Dance. Dena Shanks and Ruth Barnwell represented us in the Honor Society. Ruth Barnwell won the Lion's Student Speakers Contest in Gonzales. Dena Shanks was chosen to go to Girls' State and David Gularte and Gary Stubblefield were chosen for Boys' State. The Junior Carnival proved very prosperous and the Junior Senior Banquet at Mission Ranch was enjoyed by all. We wish to thank our advisors, Mr. Woodruff, Miss Fossel, Mrs. Bassi, and Mr. Harper.
