Junior Prom As we entered the door of the school on the evening of May 5. we were promptly introduced to the receiving line, which was coni(X)sed of the chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Rock, Mr. and Mrs. George Schueler, and Mr. and Mrs. George Ward; the junior and senior class presidents, Marian Schueler and Donald Ward, with their partners; by the hostesses, Eleanor Wilcox, Darlene Sher- hurn. Georgia Ann Nelson, Betty Jane Nel- son, Lois Brandt, and Gladys Moe. Long colored streamers hanging from the ceiling to the balcony, and down to the floor, formed an archway beneath the bal- cony. As we walked through small arbors to the dance floor, we were greeted by moonbeams, which were really reflections of light from a ball of mirrors extended from the cei'.ing. From a huge opened candybox at one end of the gym, Carl Skog and his orchestra played for the dancers. Between dances we returned to the arch- way and sipped tasty punch. Under the direction of Ted Clymer as general chairman, the committee chairmen. Beverly Morgan, Allen Johnson, Joan Evans, and Margaret Weatherhead, and their committees did a wonderful job of making the Prom a great success. I know that tliose who attended will remember it as the outstanding social event of the year. Midnight The ] ersons of the audience take their places. Backstage, a call for “Curtain in five seconds” rings out, and the house lights are dimmed. Slowly the curtain is drawn to reveal a darkened room of the Greenwood Mansion. A figure carrying a light comes into view but disap])ears upon hearing the approach of Claire Greenwood. Marian Schueler, and Bob Morris, Arlyn Weinberg. Their suspicions, aroused by Mrs. Wick, Donna Norvold, cause them to return later. The room is again darkened, and soon Miss Julia Greenwood. Patricia Cox. her maid, Ellen. Margaret Weather- head, and the chauffeur, Leonard, David Kvarnes, having esca| ed from a noisy New Years’ Eve party, enter with their belong- ings to spend the night. Thinking the old Greenwood place is haunted, Kate Bageley, Lois Brandt, and Eddie Bower, Allen Johnson, have come to get a story. While the reporters are prowl- ing around the house, they come upon Samuel Hardman, Theodore Clymer, the family lawyer, who is also prowiing for a treasure that is believed to l e hidden some- where in the house. To add to the mystery of the strange happenings, Mr. Smith. James Lonergan, brings in Paula Ward, Eleanor Wilcox, who is believed to be injured. A secret passage is soon discovered which contains Joe Howard, Jack Zezza. and Hugh Nichols, Norman Olson, who are working on a secret explosive invented bv Grandpa Greenwood. Before the New Year rings in. Eddie Bower proves to be the real government agent and turns in Mr. Smith, the foreign agent, who is posing as a G-man. The play, “Midnight”, ends with a toast to the New Year. This three act mystery-comedy given on Friday, November 19, by the juniors, was directed by Miss Joyce Chubb, with Olive Smith as her assistant. Eleanor Simp- son; Paul Casaw, and Charles Johnson were the stage managers.

I-ast year, as freshmen, the enroll- ment was about sixty. They capably per- formed their first important task by electing Lyle Cameron president of the class; Lester Muckenhirn. vice president; Gretchen Lueb- ke, secretary; Kathryn X el son, treasurer; Eugene St. Ores, council representative, and Mr. Harris, adviser. Their first social event was on Sep- tember 18, when the seniors persuaded a few of the less timid onto the dancefloor. They returned this favor by entertaining the seniors on February 8. This year they returned as sophomores, determined to maintain the good record they had set as freshmen. Their first party of the year, which was with the juniors on ()ctober 4, was a great success. ()n Novem- ber 8, they had one all by themselves to teach some of the bashful ones to dance. Cokes were served at their party. They held a social hour with the freshmen on November 29, and one with the seniors on February 28. Their activities have not l een con- fined to parties; however, for we find sev- eral sophomores on the football, basketball, and boxing teams. Jeannine Dumond. Gretchen Luebke, and Elizabeth Williamson were in the declamation contest, and Irene Hillary, Elaine Gibbon, Eugene St. Ores, laurel Harwell. Elizabeth Williamson, and Carl Ahlgren were on the debate team. Sev- eral other members of the class have been active in music. The Sophomores . . .
