by all, as well as the novel and hilarious program which featured a style and ballet show put on by some of the more shapely males. To acquaint the younger inhabitants of the galaxy with our sur- roundings, we opened our doors to the Junior High Ninth Graders, on an afternoon in March. The second year of our spin through the universe brought with it added importance as a part of this complicated system, and also as a more outstanding body than was ever before realized, when the following took the lead: President, Edward Simpson, vice president, Virginia Thomas, secretary, Betty Joy Gustafson, treasurer, Joseph Stafford, keeper of properties, Richard W. Johnson. With sparks of glory all around, the successful Junior Class Play The Hickory Stickv shot across the horizon, leaving a trail that glowed for weeks afterwards. A Civil War, in the form of the basketball tournament, broke out among the three classes of inhabitants. After a strenuous battle the middlemen came forth victoriously. Shortly after this success hot air currents swept our planet in the form of the Charles E. Hall Debate. We had hoped that these would prove favorable to us, but just the reverse happened, when the decision went to the Seniors. Two of our outstanding inhabitants, Virginia Thomas and Mary Shearman, were chosen from the Junior Class to attend Girls, State at Skidmore College. Richard K. Johnson was also chosen to attend Boys' State at Manlius. This is the highest honor accorded to any individual in the junior year. At the end of this year of rotation the Juniors entertained the Sen- iors at a reception. Music by Pat Norman's orchestra Hlled the space, and the floor show rippled the air with laughter. fContinued on page 103.1 - r . WILLIAM H.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY TEADIER and speedier than the greatest of comets, the Senior Class has soared, unhindered, through the space of three years, showering glory and winning fame for its name.
