JUNIOR CLASS HISTGRY In September, 1933, the doors of Kendallville High School opened to admit our class of sixty- seven eighth graders. Since this was to be our last year in the grades, we wished to make the best of our opportunities. To accomplish our purposes we elected the following capable officers: Lois Lehner, Presidentg Don Kastner, Vice-President: Virginia jordan, Secretary-Treasurer5 Miss Sher- man, Sponsor. Old Gold and Blue were chosen as our colors and a yellow tea rose was selected as our class flower. The outstanding social event of the year was a potluck supper given December S. The following year we felt very important as we assumed our duties as Freshmen. Since our number had been increased by our country cousins coming to join our ranks, we had just cause for feeling our importance. The following officers were chosen to direct our activities: Ervin Fritz. Presidentg Elizabeth Kollman, Vice-Presidentg Marjorie Isbell, Secretary-Treasurer3 Mr. Hamman, Sponsor. This time we changed our class flower to the forget-me-not. On January 17, we held our Iireshman party in the Little Gym. After supper we spent the evening treading on each others toes Qsome called it dancingj and playing ping-pong. The evenings entertainment was fur- nished by Betty Jane Aungst, Junior Fisher and Olive Kimmel. The next year we were Sophomores. XVe felt very superior to the green and inferior persons who were Freshmen and equal in rank with our rivals, the Juniors and Seniors. Many of us joined Wig and Paint, Girl Reserves, G. A. A. and some of our boys were selected to play on the baseball and I' llfr' T11 rnfri -lu if basketball teams. At last We felt honor and fame were coming our way. But of course we should gain recognition with the following leaders chosen as our class officers: Edward Davey, President, Lee Bushong, Vice-Presidentg W.ilter Evers, Secre- tary-Treasurer, Mr. Tritch, Sponsor. Seventy- five members of the class enjoyed a party given at the high school on November 28. An enjoyable program of entertainment and dancing was ar- ranged by the party committee. Everyone had a grand time-especially those who were served re- freshments twice instead of once. Ask some of them. We started our Junior year by having a Hallowe,en Party in the Little Gym on October 21. The walls were decorated with black CCLES, witches, skeletons, and pumpkin faces. Many in- teresting and entertaining games were played. During the dancing, punch and wafers were served. Some Juniors confessed next day that they didn't believe they needed any more punch for awhile. This year our class gave one act plays. They were Spreading the News, A Sunny Morningf' and The Woiader Hat. The plays were well re- ceived and the class feels greatly indebted to Miss Robertson for her splendid work in directing the plays. just before Christmas we received our class rings. All of us were very proud of our gold and onyx rings and hope to wear them always. This year we shall entertain the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, which will feature unusual decorations, entertaining program and plenty of swing music.
