JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Here we are, Juniors and upperclassmen , It doesn’t seem to us that it was only three years ago when we were those awe-struck, ill-at-ease freshmen. How important we felt to be a member of the Grafton High School. We entered a play that year in the Inter-Class Drama contest, called Little Darling” and went away happily with the honor of best actress bestowed upon Nancy Curry. This made our uppers notice us. When we became Sophomores, we went about with our heads high because we were now looked up to, and not so much down upon We decided to get busy that year and elect our class officers, and three very capable students were chosen. Dick Brown was our President, Paul Defenbaugh. as Vice-President, and Betty Tucker as Secretary-Treasurer. After a successful beginning in dramatics as freshmen, we entered a contest play for the second time. Our entry play was Tommy Takes A Wife” which starred many of our fellow Sophomores. By the end of this year, our class had begun to be a real part of the school life and that exciting year will always live in our memories. Now we are JUNIORS and we have done that title justice in our estimation. This is the year in which we have done meritable work. We sponsored the annual Christmas party, several dances, and we gained many a profit. Next on the calendar was to select a way of making money. We came out way ahead by selling magazine subscriptions in order to help finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Those persons taking a lot of the work upon their shoulders were our president, vice-president and secretary who were LeRoy Frey, Paul Defenbaugh, and Norman Bragg respectively. Then entering the contest plays was our next task. The name of our selection was Elmer , and we went away that night with honors as it was chosen the best play . Those having part in the play were John Crane, Eugenia Stevens, Virginia Debendarfer, Dottie Sterling, Avanelle Denton, Frances Stevens, Robert Stout and Carl Brown. Our Junior Class Play, June Mad”, was directed by Mrs. Haddox and was a great rollicking success. The stars were Jimmy Weekley, Nancy Curry, Norman Bragg. Carl Crawford. Lloyd Elsey, Paul Nestor, Jean Stevens. Dottie Lou Sterling, Robert Stout, Lois Sapp, John Crane, Betty Hoffman, and Betty Phillips. And now we prepare to become Seniors. Ah, Bliss! Although we have had a year of fun we are now looking forward to another year of excitement as Seniors. u N I 0 R S Twenty-five
