Junior Class History In the month of September, 1944, a group of will-bc doctors, lawyers, nurses, beauticians and presidents of the United States entered Grafton Senior High assuming the title of “Freshmen” which was thrust upon them. They began to gain acknowledgment by electing their class officers: President, Helen L. Outright; Vice President, Doris A. Harrison and Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Shafferman. Since Freshmen are looked down upon, they had a hard struggle, however, they showed talent in their contest play “Angel Child,” which was under the direction of Helen Harper. Peggy Hamner was chosen as best actress. Becoming Sophomores, more attention was given to them by the school, making them feel older. Choosing as their leaders. President, James Barcus; Vice President, Helen L. Cutright, and Secretary-Treasurer, Peggy Hamner, was their first important step. Their contribution to the Contest Plays was entitled “Sugar and Spice” with the cast including Norma Walls, Freddie Shafferman, Doris A. Harrison, Gene Headly, and Polly Davis. Norma Walls was chosen as best actress. This year found them just one step higher on the four year ladder of achievement. They were settled, experienced and really ready to put themselves in the bright light again. In their class election Paul Poling, Freddie Shafferman and Polly Davis were chosen as their capable leaders. The Christmas party which was sponsored by the Juniors, was one of the most successful gatherings held in recent years. The highly successful Junior-Senior reception was the last of their many events of the year. Keep up your good work, class. We arc expecting excellent Seniors of you! 22
