average of 2.75 or better entitling them to membership in the National Honor Society. Ambition runs high among the juniors. As witness the six industrious ones who plan to graduate at the end of this year. Marie Ann Marshall, Eva Beth Slater, Sue Sellers, Irene Bond, John McMakin, and Winfred McGee are to be congratulated for completing high school iti three years. Two of our lettermen Mack Sherman and Mack Q. Murray really looked the part of the football players they portrayed in the all-school play this year, and you should have seen Marjorie Allman, Dorothy Bal- lenger, and Maribeth Ford as gossiping club women! The stage crew was manned al- most entirely by juniors. Jimmy Lynn, Bob Starzer, and Don Bittman were the men behind the show, and you've never heard such a variety of ways to ring a doorbell as they used backstage! The Gingersnap cheerleaders this year are just about the best ever—al are jun- iors. These energetic girls are Marjorie Allman, Frances Ansel, and Barbara Bry- ant. Basketball and football games would- n't have been complete without their never- failing pep. Gene Rainbolt, one of the more business- like juniors, was elected mayor of Teen Town early this year, and he has done a wonderful job in keeping the place running smoothly. Shirley Hill and Pat Luster were elected to represent our class on the Teen Town council. I guess that's about all for now. Butch, except that we're all looking forward to the junior-senior party and after that to being seniors. I've talked so much about what we've been doing, now how about you? Write soon.

Guess I’ll let you in on the doings of the juniors in one letter, so settle down in a comfortable chair, it may be lengthy. In a rip-roaring election at the first of the year football boys got the tivo top of- fices. Ke.iy Franklin was elected president and Milton Smith, vice-president of our class. The girls retaliated by electing Shir- ley Hill, secretary-treasurer, and Murelene Hart, reporter. As guiding hands, other- wise known as class sponsors, we elected Miss Bernice Venable, chairman, Miss Win- ifrede Burke, Mrs. E. L. Marti, Mrs. V. E. Brown, Mrs. E. M. Witcher, Mr. Ford Michael, and Mr. 0. H. Richards. In order to make money for the junior- senior party the juniors contracted some professional entertainers and charged ad- mission for the performances. We had an Indian program, a magician show, a scien- tist who experimented with liquid air, and other swell programs. Stid with our fi- nances in mind, we sold cokes and candy at the basketball games. We're quite proud of our junior athletes; they have made a fine showing this year. Our brawny football men are Mack Murray, Reece McGee, Milton Smith, Kelly Franklin, Herschel Dye, James Bradshaw, Mack Sher- man, Steve DuBoise, and Marvin Lawson. Reece, a versatile athlete, also lettered in basketball. Of course we have also a few of the more intellectual type who uphold the scholastic standing of our class.
